Considering shock-accelerated protons in addition to electrons in a synchrotron radio jet naturally produces the observed X- through gamma ray continuum emission of flat-spectrum radio-loud AGN, whereas the corresponding shock-accelerated electrons produce the infrared through optical continuum. All of these emission components are rapidly variable on short time scales which can be accounted for by a common origin of the blazar emission in a relativistic sub-parsec scale jet. Moreover, neutrino fluxes are estimated which may be observable with the HiRes experiment and the impact on the ISM of the host galaxy of neutrons escaping from the nuclear jet is investigated.

Fermi-Large Area Telescope Detection of Very High Energy (>100 GeV) Emission from Compton-Dominated Blazars
Systematic Fermi-LAT search detects VHE emission from 14 Compton-dominated blazars (4 new at >5σ) and constrains the emitting region to >1.1–1.4 BLR radii.

From Equipartition to Curvature: The Spectral Evolution of 4FGL Blazars
One-zone leptonic fits to 100 Fermi blazars indicate the BL Lac blazar sequence is driven by equipartition-linked electron density and peak energy, while FSRQs deviate and curvature trends favor soft-turbulence stocha...

Searching for Internal Absorption Signatures in High-Redshift Blazars
Fermi-LAT data for nine z≥3 FSRQs show no significant internal BLR absorption except a 1.7σ hint in 4FGL J0733.8+0455, whose gamma-ray emission region is constrained to d/R_BLR≥0.93.

Detectability of Polarized Gamma-ray Emission from Blazar Flares with COSI
Estimates based on 17 years of Fermi LAT data indicate COSI may detect MeV polarization in a small number of blazar flares, with flat-spectrum radio quasars as the top targets.
