A search for a correlation between millimeter-bright blazars and astrophysical neutrinos
Blazars are active galactic nuclei (AGN)—supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies—that shoot out powerful jets of particles and light directed at Earth, making them some of the brightest objects in the universe. Because blazars can accelerate particles to extremely high energies, they are an attractive candidate as sources…
