Young Extragalactic Radio Sources
Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) sources and Compact Symmetric Objects (CSO) are selected in very different ways, but have a significant overlap in properties. Ever since their discovery it has been speculated that they are young objects, but only recently, strong evidence has been provided indicating that GPS sources and CSOs are indeed the young counterparts of large, extended sources. They ar...
متن کاملAcceleration of ultra-high energy cosmic ray particles in relativistic jets in extragalactic radio sources
A mechanism of ultra-high energy cosmic ray acceleration in extragalactic radio sources, at the interface between the relativistic jet and the surrounding medium, is discussed as a supplement to the shock acceleration in ‘hot spots’. Due to crossing the tangential discontinuity of the velocity the particle can gain an amount of energy comparable to the energy gain at the shock crossing. However...
متن کاملAcceleration of UHE Cosmic Ray Particles at Relativistic Jets in Extragalactic Radio Sources
A mechanism of ultra-high energy (UHE) cosmic ray acceleration in extragalactic radio sources at the interface between the relativistic jet and the ambient medium is discussed as a supplement to the shock acceleration in ‘hot spots’. Particles accelerated at the jet side boundary are expected to dominate at highest energies. The spectrum formation near the cut-off energy is modeled using the Mo...
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 کاملScintillation-induced Variability in Radio Absorption Spectra against Extragalactic Sources
Abstract. Spectral features absorbed against some radio quasars exhibit ∼ 50mJy variations, with the lines varying both relative to the continuum and, when several lines are present, even relative to one another. We point out that such variability can be expected as a consequence of refractive scintillation caused by the interstellar medium of our Galaxy. Scintillation can cause independent var...
