On relativistic jet/counterjet asymmetry in the presence of radiating jet boundary layer
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider radiation of relativistic electrons accelerated within the jet extended boundary layer. Due to velocity shear across the boundary the observed jet/counterjet brightness ratio is diminished as compared to the one derived for the jet spine. Thus the jet Lorentz factor evaluated from the observed jet asymmetry can be an underestimated value influenced by observation of the slower boundary layer. We briefly discuss several consequences of the radiating boundary layer model in the context of recent Chandra and XMM observations of the large scale jets.

Recent radio and optical large scale jets' observations suggest a two-component jet morphology, consisting of a fast central spine surrounded with a boundary layer with a velocity shear. We study radiation of electrons accelerated at such boundary layers as an option for standard approaches involving internal shocks in jets. The acceleration process in the boundary layer yields in a natural way...

متن کاملAn optical counterjet in 3C66B?
Long exposure observations at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope of 3C66B in the I filter are presented. After subtraction of the galactic background, optical emission on the counterjet side is detected in 10 knots coincident with the radio counterjet. Their radio-to-optical spectral indices (0.5–0.6) are typical of synchrotron emission in extragalactic jets, so that these knots possibly are th...
متن کاملSolution of Laminar Boundary Layer and Turbulent Free Jet With Neural Networks
A novel neuro-based method is introduced to solve the laminar boundary layer and the turbulent free jet equations. The proposed method is based on cellular neural networks, CNNs, which are recently applied widely to solve partial differential equations. The effectiveness of the method is illustrated through some examples.
