Modeling Extragalactic Jets
Extragalactic jets were discovered and initially studied by radio astronomers in connection with extended radio sources. At present, the combination of jets and disks is considered the crucial element in unification models for all active galactic nuclei (AGNs). The acceleration and propagation conditions of jets, together with the aspect ratio of the disk/jet geometry with respect to the observ...
متن کاملSimulations of Relativistic Extragalactic Jets
We describe a method for the numerical solution of the relativistic Euler equations which we have found to be both robust and efficient, and which has enabled us to simulate relativistic jets. The technique employs a solver of the Godunov-type, with approximate solution of the local Riemann problems, applied to laboratory frame variables. Lorentz transformations provide the rest frame quantitie...
متن کاملSupermassive Binaries and Extragalactic Jets
Some quasars show Doppler shifted broad emission line peaks. I give new statistics of the occurrence of these peaks and show that, while the most spectacular cases are in quasars with strong jets inclined to the line of sight, they are also almost as common in radio-quiet quasars. Theories of the origin of the peaks are reviewed and it is argued that the displaced peaks are most likely produced...
متن کاملTeV Neutrinos from Galactic Microquasar Jets
We discuss the possibility that microquasar jets may be powerful emitters of TeV neutrinos. We estimate the neutrino fluxes produced by photopion production in the jets of a sample of identified microquasars and microquasar candidates, for which available data enables rough determination of the jet parameters. We demonstrate that in several of the sources considered, the neutrino flux at Earth,...
متن کاملInternal shocks model for microquasar jets
We present an internal shocks model to investigate particle acceleration and radiation production in microquasar jets. The jet is modelled with discrete ejecta at various time intervals. These ejecta (or ’shells’) may have different properties including the bulk velocity. Faster shells can catch up and collide with the slower ones, thus giving rise to shocks. The particles are accelerated insid...
