Combined synchrotron and nonlinear synchrotron-self-Compton cooling of relativistic electrons
The broadband SEDs of blazars exhibit two broad spectral components which in leptonic emission models are attributed to synchrotron radiation and SSC radiation of relativistic electrons. During high state phases the highfrequency SSC component often dominates over the low-frequency synchrotron component implying that the inverse Compton SSC losses of electrons are at least equal to or greater t...
متن کاملSynchrotron and SSC Emission and the Blast-Wave Model of Gamma-Ray Bursts
We investigate the dynamics and radiation from a relativistic blast-wave which decelerates as it sweeps up ambient matter. The bulk kinetic energy of the blast-wave shell is converted into internal energy by the process of accreting external matter. If it takes the form of non-thermal electrons and magnetic fields, then this internal energy will be emitted as synchrotron and synchrotron self-Co...
متن کاملSynchrotron and Synchrotron Self-compton Spectral Signatures and Blazar Emission Models
We find that energy losses due to synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) emission in blazar jets can produce distinctive signatures in the time-averaged synchrotron and SSC spectra of these objects. For a fairly broad range of particle injection distributions, SSC-loss dominated synchrotron emission exhibits a spectral dependence Fν ∼ ν−3/2. The presence or absence of this dependence in the optical and...
متن کاملParticle acceleration and synchrotron emission in blazar jets
We model the acceleration of electrons at a shock front in a relativistic blazar jet and compute the radiation they emit in a post-shock region which contains a homogeneous magnetic field. The full space, time and momentum dependence of the electron distribution is used in this calculation. It is shown that the ‘homogeneous’ synchrotron model is recovered, provided the downstream speed of the p...
متن کاملVariability in the synchrotron self-Compton model of blazar emission
We present a model of the spectra of gamma-ray emitting blazars in which a single homogeneous emission region both emits synchrotron photons directly and scatters them to high (gamma-ray) energy before emission (a ‘synchrotron self-Compton’ or SSC model). In contrast to previous work, we follow the full time dependent evolution of the electron and photon spectra, assuming a power-law form of th...
