Production of Gamma-rays in Blazars
Some aspects of theory of γ-ray production in blazar type active galaxies are discussed in context of recent observations.
متن کاملExtragalactic Gamma–rays: Gamma Ray Bursts and Blazars
The extragalactic gamma–ray sky is dominated by two classes of sources: Gamma– Ray Bursts (GRBs) and radio loud active galactic nuclei whose jets are pointing at us (blazars). We believe that the radiation we receive from them originates from the transformation of bulk relativistic energy into random energy. Although the mechanisms to produce, collimate and accelerate the jets in these sources ...
متن کاملOn the production of very high energy beamed gamma-rays in blazars
The variable flux of TeV gamma-rays detected from Mkn 421 and Mkn 501 requires the presence of high energy electrons, which could in principle produce large numbers of electron/positron pairs, leading to an electromagnetic cascade. We point out that this scenario can be avoided if electrons are accelerated to high energy rectilinearly, rather than being injected isotropically into a blob, as in...
متن کاملSynoptic studies of seventeen blazars detected in very high-energy gamma-rays
Since 2002, the number of detected blazars at gamma-ray energies above 100 GeV has more than doubled. I study 17 blazars currently known to emit E > 100 GeV gamma rays. Their intrinsic energy spectra are reconstructed by removing extragalactic background light attenuation effects. Luminosity and spectral slope in the E > 100 GeV region are then compared and correlated among each other, with X-r...
متن کاملObservation of Very-High-Energy Gamma-Rays from Blazars with the MAGIC Telescope
Blazars, a subclass of active galactic nuclei in which the jet is aligned very close to our line of sight, can accelerate charged particles to relativistic energies in the jet. Electromagnetic emission from this class of sources can be observed from radio up to TeV energies. The MAGIC telescope is an Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope with a 17-m diameter dish, located on the Canary Island...
