Search for Relativistic Beaming in Ultraluminous X–ray Sources
The nature of the ultraluminous X–ray sources (ULX) is still to be understood. Several hypotheses have been suggested to explain the high X–ray luminosity: stellar mass black holes with emission collimated by relativistic effects or anisotropies in the accretion disk, intermediate mass black holes, young supernovae remnants, background active galactic nuclei. To discriminate among the above hyp...
متن کاملRelativistic beaming effects in the spectra of cores and hotspots in radio galaxies and quasars
We present the results of multi-wavelength observations of cores and hotspots at L, C, X and U bands with the Very Large Array, of a matched sample of radio galaxies and quasars selected from the Molonglo Reference Catalogue. We use these observations to determine the spectra of cores and hotspots, and test the unified scheme for radio galaxies and quasars. Radio cores have been detected at all...
متن کاملInverse Compton X-rays from relativistic flare electrons and positrons
Context. In solar flares, inverse Compton scattering (ICS) of photospheric photons might give rise to detectable hard X-ray photon fluxes from the corona where ambient densities are too low for significant bremsstrahlung or recombination. γ-ray lines and continuum in some large flares imply the presence of the necessary ∼ 100 MeV electrons and positrons, the latter as by-products of GeV energy ...
متن کاملCosmic rays from remnants of quasars?
Considerations of the collision losses for protons traversing the 2.7 K black body microwave radiation field have led to the conclusion that the highest energy cosmic rays, those observed at ≥ 10 eV, must come from sources within the present epoch. In light of this constraint, it is here suggested that these particles may be accelerated near the event horizons of spinning supermassive black hol...
متن کاملConstraints on relativistic beaming from estimators of the unbeamed flux
We review the statistical properties of relativistic Doppler boosting relevant for studies of relativistic jets from compact objects based on radio–X-ray(–mass) correlations, such as that found in black-hole X-ray binaries in the low/hard state, or the “fundamental plane” of Merloni, Heinz, & DiMatteo. We show that the presence of only moderate scatter in such relations does not necessarily imp...
