Particle diffusion and localized acceleration in inhomogeneous AGN jets. I. Steady-state spectra
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
We study the acceleration, transport, and emission of particles in relativistic jets. Localized stochastic particle acceleration, spatial diffusion, and synchrotron as well as synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) emission are ...
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 ...
