Anisotropic Inverse Compton Scattering in the Galaxy
The inverse Compton scattering of interstellar photons off cosmic-ray electrons seems to play a more important rôle in the generation of diffuse emission from the Galaxy than thought before. The background radiation field of the Galaxy is highly anisotropic since it is dominated by the radiation from the Galactic plane. An observer in the Galactic plane thus sees mostly head-on scatterings even...
متن کاملInverse Compton Scattering – Revisited
An important radiative process, used in several astrophysical contexts to generate high energy photons, is the inverse compton scattering. In this process, relativistic electrons transfer part of their kinetic energy to low energy photons thereby creating high energy photons. Conventional text book derivation (Rybicki & Lightman 1979) of this process uses the photon picture, kinematics of elect...
متن کاملInverse Compton scattering
Hard photons well above 100GeV have to be generated in a future photon collider which essentially will be based on the infrastructure of the planned International Linear Collider (ILC). The energy of near-infrared laser photons will be boosted by Compton backscattering against a high-energy relativistic electron beam. For high effectiveness, a very powerful laser system is required that exceeds...
متن کاملAnisotropic inverse Compton emission in the radio galaxy 3 C 265 3
We present the results from a Chandra observation of the powerful radio galaxy 3C 265. We detect X–ray emission from the nucleus, the radio hotspots and lobes. In particular, the lobe X–ray emission is well explained as anisotropic inverse Compton scattering of the nuclear photons by the relativistic electrons in the radio lobes; the comparison between radio synchrotron and IC emission yields a...
