A Photo-Hadronic Model of the Large Scale Jets of 3C 273 and PKS 1136-135
Masaaki Kusunose, Fumio Takahara
X-ray bright knots of kpc-scale jets of several radio loud quasars have been an actively discussed issue. Among various models to explain observations, synchrotron radiation from t…
Where is the electric current driven in the Blandford-Znajek process?
Kenji Toma, Fumio Takahara
The Blandford-Znajek process, the steady electromagnetic energy extraction from a rotating black hole, is widely believed to work for driving relativistic jets, although it is stil…
A Photo-Hadronic Model of the Large Scale Jet of PKS 0637-752
Masaaki Kusunose, Fumio Takahara
Strong X-ray emission from large scale jets of radio loud quasars still remains an open problem. Models based on inverse Compton scattering off CMB photons by relativistically beam…
Causal production of the electromagnetic energy flux and role of the negative energies in Blandford-Znajek process
Kenji Toma, Fumio Takahara
Blandford-Znajek process, the steady electromagnetic energy extraction from a rotating black hole (BH), is widely believed to work for driving relativistic jets in active galactic…
Evidence for a significant mixture of electron/positron pairs in FRII jets constrained by cocoon dynamics
Nozomu Kawakatu, Motoki Kino, Fumio Takahara
We examine the plasma composition of relativistic jets in four FRII radio galaxies by analyzing the total cocoon pressure in terms of partial pressures of thermal and non-thermal e…
Synchrotron Self-Compton Emission by Relativistic Electrons under Stochastic Acceleration: Application to Mrk 421 and Mrk 501
Jun Kakuwa, Kenji Toma, Katsuaki Asano +2
We examine the applicability of the stochastic electron acceleration to two high synchrotron peaked blazars, Mrk 421 and Mrk 501, assuming synchrotron self-Compton emission of gamm…
