Emission and power of blazar jets
Through the modelling of the Spectral Energy Distribution of blazars we can infer the physical parameters required to originate the flux we see. Then we can estimate the power of blazar jets in the form of matter and fields. These estimate are rather robust for all classes of blazars, although they are in part dependent of the chosen model (i.e. leptonic rather than adronic). The indication is ...
متن کاملCyclotron Maser Emission from Blazar Jets?
We consider the production of electron cyclotron maser emission by lowdensity, highly magnetized plasmas in relativistic jets. The population inversion required to drive cyclotron maser instability could occur in localized, transient sites where hydromagnetic instabilities, shocks, and/or turbulence lead to magnetic mirroring along current-carrying flux tubes. The maser is pumped by the convers...
متن کاملUnderstanding Blazar Jets Through Their Multifrequency Emission
Being dominated by non-thermal (synchrotron and inverse Compton) emission from a relativistic jet, blazars offer important clues to the structure and radiative processes in extragalactic jets. Crucial information is provided by blazars’ spectral energy distributions from radio to gamma-rays (GeV and TeV energies), their trends with bolometric luminosity, and their correlated variability propert...
متن کاملLight emission from extracts of luminous fungi.
In some luminous organisms (firefly, Cypridina, and bacteria) it is possible to obtain cell-free luminescence by the combination of a cold water extract (luciferase) with a hot water extract (luciferin). Failure in the past to observe such a reaction with extracts of luminous fungi can now be shown to be due to the following factors: (a) in crude aqueous extracts the luciferase is either too di...
متن کاملSynchrotron and Synchrotron Self-compton Spectral Signatures and Blazar Emission Models
We find that energy losses due to synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) emission in blazar jets can produce distinctive signatures in the time-averaged synchrotron and SSC spectra of these objects. For a fairly broad range of particle injection distributions, SSC-loss dominated synchrotron emission exhibits a spectral dependence Fν ∼ ν−3/2. The presence or absence of this dependence in the optical and...
