Gamma-gamma absorption in the broad line region radiation fields of gamma-ray blazars
(IOP Publishing, 2016)
The expected level of γγ absorption in the Broad Line Region (BLR) radiation field of γ-ray loud Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQs) is evaluated as a function of the location of the γ-ray emission region. This is done ...
Cascading constraints from neutrino-emitting blazars: the case of TXS 0506+056
(IOP Publishing, 2019)
We present a procedure to generally constrain the environments of neutrino-producing sites in photomeson production models of jetted active galactic nuclei (AGNs) where any origin of the dominant target photon field can ...
Polarization signatures of relativistic magnetohydrodynamic shocks in the blazar emission region. I. Force-free helical magnetic fields
(IOP, 2016)
The optical radiation and polarization signatures in blazars are known to be highly variable during flaring activities. It is frequently argued that shocks are the main driver of the flaring events. However, the spectral ...
Leptonic and lepto-hadronic modeling of the 2010 November flare from 3C 454.3
(AAS, 2016)
In this study, we use a one-zone leptonic and a lepto-hadronic model to investigate the multi-wavelength emission and prominent flare of the flat spectrum radio quasar 3C 454.3 in 2010 November. We perform a parameter study ...
Systematic physical characterization of the γ-ray spectra of 2FHL blazars
(IOP Publishing, 2019)
We test different physically motivated models for the spectral shape of the γ-ray emission in a sample of 128 blazars with known redshifts detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) at energies above 50 GeV. The first ...
