Particle-acceleration timescales in TeV blazar flares
Observations of minute-scale flares in TeV Blazars place constraints on particle acceleration mechanisms in those objects. The implications for a variety of radiation mechanisms have been addressed in the literature; in this paper we compare four different acceleration mechanisms: diffusive shock acceleration, second-order Fermi, shear acceleration and the converter mechanism. When the accelera...
متن کاملThe bulk Lorentz factor crisis of TeV blazars : evidence for an inhomogeneous pileup energy distribution ?
There is growing evidence that the estimations of the beaming Doppler factor in TeV BL Lac object based on the Self Synchrotron Compton (SSC) models are in strong disagreement with those deduced from the unification models between blazars and radio galaxies. When corrected from extragalactic absorption by the diffuse infrared background (DIrB), the SSC one-zone models require very high Lorentz ...
متن کاملStrong GeV Emission Accompanying TeV Blazar H1426+428
For High frequency BL Lac objects (HBLs) like H1426+428, a significant fraction of their TeV gammarays emitted are likely to be absorbed in interactions with the diffuse IR background, yielding e pairs. The resulting e pairs generate one hitherto undiscovered GeV emission by inverse Compton scattering with the cosmic microwave background photons (CMBPs). We study such emission by taking the 199...
متن کاملSuzaku observation of TeV blazar the 1ES 1218+304: clues on particle acceleration in an extreme TeV blazar
We observed the TeV blazar 1ES 1218+304 with the X-ray astronomy satellite Suzaku in May 2006. At the beginning of the two-day continuous observation, we detected a large flare in which the 5−10 keV flux changed by a factor of ∼2 on a timescale of 5×10 s. During the flare, the increase in the hard X-ray flux clearly lagged behind that observed in the soft X-rays, with the maximum lag of 2.3×10 ...
متن کاملHow is the blazar GeV emission really produced ?
We show that the external Compton (EC) model for the production of the GeV emission in blazars makes specific predictions for the spectrum and variability of those blazars characterized by a high Compton dominance (Compton to synchrotron luminosity ratio). These unavoidable features have not been observed, casting doubt on the validity of this popular model. We argue that synchrotron-self Compt...
