Modulation of AGN gamma rays by interaction with X-rays from an accretion disk hot spot
W. Bednarek, R. J. Protheroe
We have developed a model for the variability of gamma ray emission in jets of active galactic nuclei in which the variability arises as a result of photon-photon pair production i…

Gamma rays from interactions of stars with AGN jets
W. Bednarek, R. J. Protheroe
We have developed a model for gamma ray emission in jets of active galactic nuclei in which particle acceleration takes place at a shock in the relativistic jet plasma due to a mas…

On the production of very high energy beamed gamma-rays in blazars
W. Bednarek, J. G. Kirk, A. Mastichiadis
The variable flux of TeV gamma-rays detected from Mkn 421 and Mkn 501 requires the presence of high energy electrons, which could in principle produce large numbers of electron/pos…
