Gamma-Ray Blazars
Roughly 60 blazars have been identiied with > 100 MeV EGRET gamma-ray sources, and exhibit inferred isotropic luminosities as large as 3 10 49 ergs s ?1. The two most remarkable characteristics about the EGRET observations are that the-ray luminosity often dominates the bolometric power, and that variability on timescales at least as short as a day is seen from several sources in their aring st...
متن کاملBlazars and Gamma Ray Bursts
Blazars and Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the fastest objects known so far. The radiation we see from these sources originates in a jet of similar aperture angle, and we think it is the result of the conversion of some of the jet kinetic energy into random motion of the emitting particles. Mechanisms for producing, collimating and accelerating the jets in these sources are uncertain, and it is fr...
متن کاملX–ray Emission in Gamma-ray Blazars
As shown by Maraschi (this volume) the overall spectral energy distribution (SED) of the blazars detected by EGRET shows two peaks, in a ν–νF (ν) plot. With few exceptions, the minimum between these two peaks occurs in the X–ray range. We can exploit this observational fact to constrain the models proposed to account for the SED of blazars, and to reach an important conclusion: the conversion o...
متن کاملBasic properties of Gamma-ray loud blazars
In this paper, a method is proposed to determine the basic properties of γ-ray loud blazars, among them the central black hole mass, M , the Doppler factor, δ, the propagation angle of the γ-rays with respect to the symmetric axis of a twotemperature accretion disk, Φ, and the distance (i.e. the height above the accretion disk), d at which the γ-rays are created, for seven γ-ray loud blazars wi...
متن کاملVariability Models of Gamma-Ray Blazars
Much observational efforts have been devoted in recent years to study blazar variability across the electromagnetic spectrum (for a recent review see e.g., Ulrich, et al. 1997). In addition to spectral and polarization information, variability data can provide stringent constraints on the radiation mechanisms, the geometry of the emission regions, beaming factors, formation and dynamics of shoc...
