A Proton Synchrotron Blazar Model for Flaring in Markarian 501
The spectral energy distribution (SED) of blazars typically has a double-humped appearance usually interpreted in terms of synchrotron self-Compton models. In proton blazar models, the SED is instead explained in terms of acceleration of protons and subsequent cascading. We discuss a variation of the Synchrotron Proton Blazar model, first proposed by Mücke & Protheroe (1999), in which the low e...
متن کاملM 87 as a misaligned Synchrotron - Proton Blazar
The giant radio galaxy M87 is usually classified as a Fanaroff-Riley class I source, suggesting that M87 is a mis-aligned BL Lac object. Its unresolved nuclear region emits strong non-thermal emission from radio to X-rays which has been interpreted as synchrotron radiation. In an earlier paper we predicted M87 as a source of detectable gamma ray emission in the context of the hadronic Synchrotr...
متن کاملEstimating jet power in proton blazar models
We discuss the various contributions to the jet luminosity in proton blazar models of active galactic nuclei and describe a method of estimating the jet luminosity from the observed spectral energy distribution (SED) and the fitted model parameters. We apply this to a synchrotron proton blazar (SPB) model for Markarian 501.
متن کاملX-ray flaring activity of Markarian 421
We report results from a systematic search for X-ray flares from Mrk 421, using archival data from the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) satellite. The flares are clearly seen over a wide range of timescales. The quasicontinuous coverage of the source with the All-SkyMonitor (ASM) reveals frequent occurrence of major flares that last for months. On a few occasions, the source was intensively m...
متن کاملA model for delayed emission in a very - high energy gamma - ray flare in Markarian 501
Context. Recently, the MAGIC collaboration reported evidence for a delay in the arrival times of photons of different energies during a γ-ray flare from the blazar Markarian 501 on 2005 July 9. Aims. We aim at describing the observed delayed high-energy emission. Methods. We apply a homogeneous synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) model under the assumption that the blob containing relativistic elect...
