چکیده
We present a numerical model for electron acceleration and radiation inside the body of an extra-galactic jet. We model the jet environment as a turbulent medium generating non-linear structures (eddies and/or shocks) through a cascading process. These structures act like in-situ accelerators for the electrons that are initially injected from the central engine. Two types of acceleration processes are considered: second order Fermi-acceleration and shock-drift acceleration, depending on the velocity of the turbulent eddies encountered. We study the modulation of the energy distribution of electrons in such an environment, by incorporating synchrotron radiation losses in the time intervals between successive interactions of the particles with the turbulent structures. By performing a parametric study with respect to the level of turbulent activity and the time intervals between interactions, we calculate the temporal evolution of the cut-oo frequency of the synchrotron radiation spectrum of the particles and discuss our results in connection with recent observations.

We describe multi-wavelength, simultaneous observations of the RS CVn star, II Pegasi, most of which were obtained during the rst three weeks of Septem-ber 1992. These observations were made using optical and infra-red broad-band photometry, ultraviolet and optical spectroscopy and microwave monitoring. We have detected photospheric spots and chromospheric ares, as well as deriving a descriptio...
متن کاملAstronomy and Astrophysics Convective Core Mixing: a Metallicity Dependence?
The main scope of this paper is to investigate the possible existence of a metallicity dependence of the overshooting from main sequence stars turbulent cores. We focus on objects with masses in the range ∼ 2.5M ⊙ − ∼ 25M ⊙. Basically, evolutionary time scale ratios are compared with star numbers ratios on the main sequence. Star populations are synthesized using grids of evolutionary tracks co...
متن کاملRadiation modeling of a turbulent diffusion flame in diesel engine
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of radiation heat transfer on temperature distribution and heat flux to the walls of a diesel engine. A diffusion flame is modeled in a simple cylindrical geometry and boundary conditions are defined. A specific solver which can model the turbulent diffusion flame by considering radiation in participating media is used to solve the problem....
