On the Relation between Agn Gamma-ray Emission and Parsec-scale Radio Jets
We have compared the radio emission from a sample of parsec-scale AGN jets as measured by the VLBA at 15 GHz, with their associated γ-ray properties that are reported in the Fermi LAT 3-month bright source list. We find in our radio-selected sample that the γ-ray photon flux correlates well with the quasi-simultaneously measured compact radio flux density. The LAT-detected jets in our radio-sel...
متن کاملA Model for the Offsets between X-ray and Radio Emission from Large Scale AGN Jets
We investigate apparent internal structure of kiloparsec scale jets of AGNs arising from the energy dependent cooling of accelerated electrons and light travel time effect for relativistically moving sources. Using a simple cylindrical shell model, we find that the offsets between the peaks of X-ray, optical and radio brightness distributions observed for many cases are basically explained with...
متن کاملOblique Polarization Structures in AGN and QSO Radio Jets
Abstract. We interpret the linear polarization structures observed in extragalactic radio sources, even those oriented at oblique angles to the jet flows, to be due to oblique, relativistic shock fronts in the emitting regions. Many sources exhibit indications of such oblique structures, and the goal of this investigation is to test this hypothesis quantitatively. A selected group of ten highly...
متن کاملX-ray Emission Processes in Radio Jets
The emission processes responsible for the observed X-rays from radio jets are commonly believed to be non-thermal, but in any particular case, it is unclear if synchrotron emission or one or more varieties of inverse Compton emission predominates. We present a formulation of inverse Compton emission from a relativistically moving jet (“IC/beaming”) which relies on radio emitting synchrotron so...
متن کاملPolarization of AGN Jets
The sensitivity, stability, and uniformity of calibration of the VLBA has revolutionized parsec-scale polarization studies of AGN jets. Not only does polarization probe the magnetic field structures of jets, serving as a hydrodynamic tracer of shocks, bends, and shear, but polarization also probes the medium through which it propagates by encoding the signature of Faraday effects along the line...
