Gravitational lensing as a possible explanation for some unidentified gamma-ray sources at high latitudes
We propose that some of the high-latitude unidentified EGRET γ-ray sources could be the result of gravitational lensing amplification of the innermost regions of distant, faint, active galactic nuclei. These objects have γ-ray emitting regions small enough as to be affected by microlensing of stars in interposed galaxies. We compute the gravitational amplification taking into account effects of...

Ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) accelerated in the jets of active galactic nuclei can accumulate in high magnetic field, ∼ 100 kpc-scale regions surrounding powerful radio galaxies. Photohadronic processes make ultra-relativistic electrons and positrons that initiate electromagnetic cascades, leading to the production of a γ-ray synchrotron halo. We calculate the halo emission in the cas...
متن کاملTwo-temperature coronal flow above a thin disk
We extended the disk corona model (Meyer & Meyer-Hofmeister 1994; Meyer, Liu, & MeyerHofmeister 2000a) to the inner region of galactic nuclei by including different temperatures in ions and electrons as well as Compton cooling. We found that the mass evaporation rate and hence the fraction of accretion energy released in the corona depend strongly on the rate of incoming mass flow from outer ed...
متن کاملA test on external Compton models for γ-ray active galactic nuclei
There is clear evidence that the γ-ray emission from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is attributed to the inverse Compton scatterings in the relativistic blobs near the massive black holes. If the soft seed photons are from the regions outside the blobs, a linear relation between (νFν,γ/νFν,synu ) and Doppler factor δ is expected, where νFν,γ and νFν,syn are monochromatic γ-ray and synchrotron fl...
متن کاملAGN Zoo and Classications of Active Galaxies
We review the variety of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) classes (so-calledAGN zoo") and classification schemes of galaxies by activity types based on their optical emission-line spectrum, as well as other parameters and other than optical wave-length ranges. A historical overview of discoveries of various types of active galaxies is given, including Seyfert galaxies, radio galaxies, QSOs, BL Lace...
