Hadronic Production of Tev Gamma Ray Flares from Blazars
We propose that TeV γ-ray emission from blazars is produced by collisions near the line of sight of high energy jet protons with gas targets (“clouds”) from the broad emission-line region (BLR). Intense TeV γ-ray flares (GRFs) are produced when BLR clouds cross the line of sight close to the black hole. The model reproduces the observed properties of the recently reported very short and intense...
متن کاملFormation of hard VHE gamma-ray spectra of blazars due to internal photon-photon absorption
The energy spectra of TeV gamma-rays from blazars, after being corrected for intergalatic absorption in the Extragalactic Background Light (EBL), appear unusually hard, a fact that poses challenges to the conventional models of particle acceleration in TeV blazars and/or to the EBL models. In this paper we show that the internal absorption of gamma-rays caused by interactions with dense narrow-...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Blazars
Roughly 60 blazars have been identiied with > 100 MeV EGRET gamma-ray sources, and exhibit inferred isotropic luminosities as large as 3 10 49 ergs s ?1. The two most remarkable characteristics about the EGRET observations are that the-ray luminosity often dominates the bolometric power, and that variability on timescales at least as short as a day is seen from several sources in their aring st...
متن کاملX–ray Emission in Gamma-ray Blazars
As shown by Maraschi (this volume) the overall spectral energy distribution (SED) of the blazars detected by EGRET shows two peaks, in a ν–νF (ν) plot. With few exceptions, the minimum between these two peaks occurs in the X–ray range. We can exploit this observational fact to constrain the models proposed to account for the SED of blazars, and to reach an important conclusion: the conversion o...
متن کاملBlazars and Gamma Ray Bursts
Blazars and Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the fastest objects known so far. The radiation we see from these sources originates in a jet of similar aperture angle, and we think it is the result of the conversion of some of the jet kinetic energy into random motion of the emitting particles. Mechanisms for producing, collimating and accelerating the jets in these sources are uncertain, and it is fr...
