Synchrotron Flaring in Galactic and Extragalactic jets
arXiv:astro-ph/0611510
Abstract
We study the synchrotron flaring behaviour of the blazar 3C 279 and microquasar Cyg X-3. The properties of a typical outburst are derived from the observations by decomposing multi-frequency lightcurves into series of self-similar events. We also discuss the similarities and differences in flaring behaviour of the galactic and extragalactic jets.
