Automatic quenching of high energy gamma-ray sources by synchrotron photons
L. Stawarz, J. G. Kirk
We investigate a magnetized plasma in which injected high energy gamma-rays annihilate on a soft photon field, that is provided by the synchrotron radiation of the created pairs. F…

Reconnection in pulsar winds
J. G. Kirk, Y. Lyubarsky
The spin-down power of a pulsar is thought to be carried away in an MHD wind in which, at least close to the star, the energy transport is dominated by Poynting flux. The pulsar dr…

Models of variability in blazar jets
A. Mastichiadis, J. G. Kirk
We present the expected variability features in the context of the Synchro- Self-Compton (SSC) model of emission from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) and show that the homogeneous SS…
