In 2011, Francesco Massaro, a researcher at the University of Turin (Italy), and Raffaele D'Abrusco, a post-doc in the astrophysics group at the University Federico II of Naples (Italy), using all-sky data produced by the WISE satellite, discovered that blazars, the rarest and most extreme class of active galactic nuclei, display infrared emission with unique properties that set them apart from all other extragalactic sources.
