Nonthermal Radiation Processes in X-ray Jets
Analytic approximations for synchrotron, synchrotron self-Compton (SSC), and external Compton (EC) processes are used to constrain model parameters for knot and hot-spot emission in extended jets of radio galaxies. Equipartition formulas are derived that relate the Doppler factor δ and comoving magnetic field B assuming a nonthermal synchrotron origin of the radio emission, and synchrotron, SSC...
متن کاملX-ray Emission Processes in Radio Jets
The emission processes responsible for the observed X-rays from radio jets are commonly believed to be non-thermal, but in any particular case, it is unclear if synchrotron emission or one or more varieties of inverse Compton emission predominates. We present a formulation of inverse Compton emission from a relativistically moving jet (“IC/beaming”) which relies on radio emitting synchrotron so...
متن کاملSimulating acceleration and radiation processes in X-ray binaries
The high energy emission of microquasars is thought to originate from high energy particles. Depending on the spectral state, the distribution of these particles can be thermal with a high temperature (typically 100 keV) or non-thermal and extending to even higher energy. The properties of high energy plasmas are governed by a rich microphysics involving particle-particle collisions and particl...
متن کاملGalactic X-ray binary jets
With their relatively fast variability time-scales, Galactic X-ray binaries provide an excellent laboratory to explore the physics of accretion and related phenomena, most notably outflows, over different regimes. After comparing the phenomenology of jets in black hole systems to that of neutron stars, here I discuss the role of the jet at very low Eddington ratios, and present preliminary resu...
