External Compton Radiation from Rapid Nonthermal Flares in Blazars
In this paper we extend our approach to modeling multifrequency emission variability from blazars to include external-radiation Compton (ERC) emission and electron energy losses from inverse Compton scattering of seed photons originating outside the jet. We consider seed-photon emission from a dusty molecular torus and the broad line region (BLR) surrounding the central engine. We establish con...
متن کاملSynchrotron Self-compton Model for Rapid Nonthermal Flares in Blazars with Frequency-dependent Time Lags
We model rapid variability of multifrequency emission from blazars occurring across the electromagnetic spectrum (from radio to gamma rays). Lower energy emission is produced by the synchrotron mechanism, whereas higher energy emission is due to inverse Compton scattering of the synchrotron emission. We take into account energy stratification established by particle acceleration at shock fronts...
متن کاملOn the Origin of Rapid Flares in TeV Blazars
The rapid variability of the VHE emission reported for some TeV blazars implies Doppler factors well in excess of those inferred from superluminal motions and unification schemes. We propose that those extreme flares may result from radiative deceleration of blobs on scales where local dissipation occurs. The minimum jet power estimated from the resolved synchrotron emission on VLBI scales appe...
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 کاملNonthermal Synchrotron Radiation from Gamma Ray Burst External Shocks and the X-ray Flares Observed with Swift
An analysis of the interaction between a spherical relativistic blast -wave shell and a stationary cloud with a spherical cap geometry is performed assuming that the cloud width ∆cl ≪ x, where x is the distance of the cloud from the GRB explosion center. The interaction is divided into three phases: (1) a collision phase with both forward and reverse shocks; (2) a penetration phase when either ...
