Effects of Luminosity Functions Induced by Relativistic Beaming on Statistics of Cosmological Gamma-Ray Bursts
Most of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) models have predicted that the intrinsic isotropic energy is limited to below ∼ 10ergs. Recently claimed high redshifts, correlation with supernovae, and connection to the cosmic star formation activity point to a different energy requirement and source evolution history possibly with strong beaming. We study the effects of the beaming-induced luminosity function...
متن کاملSuperluminal Motion and Relativistic Beaming in Blazar Jets
High resolution radio observations remain the most direct way to study the formation and evolution of radio jets associated with the accretion onto massive black holes. We report preliminary results of our seven year VLBA observational program to understand the nature of relativistic beaming in blazars and the surrounding environment of massive black holes. Most blazars show an apparent outward...
متن کاملRelativistic beaming and the intrinsic properties of extragalactic radio jets
Relations between the observed quantities for a beamed radio jet, apparent transverse speed and apparent luminosity (βapp,L), and the intrinsic quantities, Lorentz factor and intrinsic luminosity (γ,Lo), are investigated. The inversion from measured to intrinsic values is not unique, but approximate limits to γ and Lo can be found using probability arguments. Roughly half the sources in a flux ...
متن کاملRelativistic Beaming and Flux Variability in Active Galactic Nuclei
We discuss the impact of special relativistic effects on the observed light curves and variability duty cycles of radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs). We model the properties of AGN light curves at radio wavelengths using a simulated shot noise process in which the occurrence of major flaring events in a relativistic jet is governed by Poisson statistics. We show that flaring sources whose...
متن کاملSearch for Relativistic Beaming in Ultraluminous X–ray Sources
The nature of the ultraluminous X–ray sources (ULX) is still to be understood. Several hypotheses have been suggested to explain the high X–ray luminosity: stellar mass black holes with emission collimated by relativistic effects or anisotropies in the accretion disk, intermediate mass black holes, young supernovae remnants, background active galactic nuclei. To discriminate among the above hyp...
