We have assembled an 8.4 GHz survey of bright, flat-spectrum (alpha > -0.5) radio sources with nearly uniform extragalactic (|b|>10 deg) coverage for sources brighter than S_{4.8 GHz} = 65 mJy. The catalog is assembled from existing observations (especially CLASS and the Wright et al. PMN-CA survey), augmented by reprocessing of archival VLA and ATCA data and by new observations to fill in coverage gaps. We refer to this program as CRATES, the Combined Radio All-sky Targeted Eight GHz Survey. The resulting catalog provides precise positions, sub-arcsecond structures, and spectral indices for some 11,000 sources. We describe the morphology and spectral index distribution of the sample and comment on the survey's power to select several classes of interesting sources, especially high energy blazars. Comparison of CRATES with other high-frequency surveys also provides unique opportunities for identification of high-power radio sources.

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    Multi-frequency VLBI observations detect a two-sided jet with steep synchrotron spectrum from the nearly dormant SMBH in M60, with frequency-dependent core shift locating the engine ~10 Schwarzschild radii upstream of...

  2. A Multiwavelength Inventory for the Local Group L-band Survey I: Atlas and Radial Profiles of Local Group Galaxies

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Atomic gas is the most extended component in six Local Group galaxies, and atomic-gas depletion times rise from about 1 Gyr in the inner disks to tens-to-hundreds of Gyr in the outer disks.

  3. A multi-band radio flux density catalog of ICRF3 sources using the Onsala Twin Telescopes

    astro-ph.IM 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    A 361-source, four-band (3.2–10.4 GHz) radio flux density catalog from the Onsala Twin Telescopes shows most VGOS targets vary and improves geodetic signal-to-noise predictions.

  4. Simultaneous radio, optical and X-ray monitoring of hard X-ray selected AGN: a variability study

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In 14 hard-X-ray-selected AGN monitored for two years, variability is strongest in X-rays and weakest in radio, and source variability explains only ~2-3% of the scatter in the Fundamental Plane.

  5. Probing the High-Energy Emission of the VHE-emitting Changing-Look Blazar B2 1420+32

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For the changing-look blazar B2 1420+32, only a combined synchrotron-self-Compton plus external-Compton model, seeded by ~1,000 K infrared-torus photons, reproduces the X-ray-to-VHE emission across five activity states.

    Citizen science discovery of a bow-and-arrow radio galaxy with ~560 kpc bow-shock-like structure in a multi-halo environment at z=0.159.

  7. Powerful Radio Sources in the Southern Sky. IV. Observations of the G4Jy-3CRE Catalog with the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    New ASKAP continuum imaging classifies jet morphologies in 173 G4Jy-3CRE sources (66% of sample) including 37 newly detected jets and identifies six new optical counterparts.

  8. Can a gamma-ray dim radio blazar produce a 200-PeV neutrino? The case of PMN J0606$-$0724 and KM3-230213A

    astro-ph.HE 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A gamma-ray dim radio blazar, PMN J0606-0724, can plausibly explain the 200 PeV KM3NeT neutrino through proton-photon interactions in its radio core, with the associated gamma rays absorbed internally.

  9. TeV-PeV Gamma-ray and Neutrino Emission in the Galactic Plane

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Alternative ISRF models produce only modest changes to the LHAASO diffuse gamma-ray fit; the associated pp neutrinos remain consistent with IceCube all-sky data and compatible with ANTARES/KM3NeT limits.
