Helical jets in blazars Interpretation of the multifrequency long - term variability of AO 0235 + 16
The long-term variability of the multiwavelength blazar emission can be interpreted in terms of orientation variations of a helical, inhomogeneous, non-thermally emitting jet, possibly caused by the orbital motion of the parent black hole in a binary system (Villata & Raiteri 1999). The helical-jet model is here applied to explain the quasi-periodic radio-optical light curves and the broad-band...
متن کاملUnderstanding Blazar Jets Through Their Multifrequency Emission
Being dominated by non-thermal (synchrotron and inverse Compton) emission from a relativistic jet, blazars offer important clues to the structure and radiative processes in extragalactic jets. Crucial information is provided by blazars’ spectral energy distributions from radio to gamma-rays (GeV and TeV energies), their trends with bolometric luminosity, and their correlated variability propert...
متن کاملAccretion Disks , Jets and Blazar Variability
Although blazar variability is probably dominated by emission from relativistic jets, accretion disks should be present in all blazars. These disks produce emission over most of the electromagnetic spectrum; various unstable processes operate in those disks which will lead to variable emission. Here I summarize some of the most relevant disk mechanisms for AGN variability. I also discuss some a...
متن کاملRadio variability of the gamma - ray blazar 0202 + 149
Analysis of radio light curves of the γ-ray bright blazar 0202+149 at frequencies of 37, 22, 14.5, 8, and 4.8 GHz during the period 1984-1998 reveals a 4-year cycle of variability with substructure on a shorter time scale of about 1.3-yr. The 4.8-37 GHz spectral index of the source gradually increases from −0.04 (T=1990.2) to 0.4 (T=1996.6) and during outbursts shows strong variations with a ti...
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...
