Compton scattering of self-absorbed synchrotron emission
Synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) scattering is an important emission mechanism in many astronomical sources, such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and active galactic nuclei. We give a complete presentation of the analytical approximations for the Compton scattering of synchrotron emission with both weak and strong synchrotron self-absorption. All possible orders of the characteristic synchrotron spect...
متن کاملRapid variability in the synchrotron self Compton model for blazars
Blazars are characterized by large amplitude and fast variability, indicating that the electron distribution is rapidly changing, often on time scales shorter than the light crossing time. The emitting region is sufficiently compact to let radiative losses dominate the cooling of high energy electrons. We study the time dependent behaviour of the electron distribution after episodic electron in...
متن کاملCombined 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 کاملTemporal and Spectral Variabilities of High Energy Emission from Blazars Using Synchrotron Self-Compton Models
Multiwavelength observations of blazars such as Mrk 421 and Mrk 501 show that they exhibit strong short time variabilities in flare-like phenomena. Based on the homogeneous synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) model and assuming that time variability of the emission is initiated by changes in the injection of nonthermal electrons, we perform detailed temporal and spectral studies of a purely cooling ...
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...
