X-ray and gamma-ray polarization in leptonic and hadronic jet models of blazars
(IOP Science, 2013)
We present a theoretical analysis of the expected X-ray and γ-ray polarization signatures resulting from synchrotron self-Compton emission in leptonic models compared to the polarization signatures from proton synchrotron ...
Time dependent hadronic modeling of flat spectrum radio quasars
(American Astronomical Society, 2015)
We introduce a new time-dependent lepto-hadronic model for blazar emission that takes into account the radiation
emitted by secondary particles, such as pions and muons, from photo hadronic interactions. Starting from ...
Leptonic and hadronic modeling of Fermi-detected blazars
(IOP Science, 2013)
We describe new implementations of leptonic and hadronic models for the broadband emission from relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei in a temporary steady state. For the leptonic model, a temporary equilibrium between ...
Synchrotron polarization in blazars
(IOP Publishing, 2014)
We present a detailed analysis of time- and energy-dependent synchrotron polarization signatures in a shock-in-jet model for γ-ray blazars. Our calculations employ a full three-dimensional radiation transfer code, assuming ...
Polarization swings reveal magnetic energy dissipation in blazars
(American Astronomical Society, 2015)
The polarization signatures of blazar emissions are known to be highly variable. In addition to small fluctuations of the polarization angle around a mean value, large (gsim180°) polarization angle swings are sometimes ...
