BL Lac Objects in the Synchrotron Proton Blazar Model

A. Muecke, R. J. Protheroe, R. Engel +2

We calculate the spectral energy distribution (SED) of electromagnetic radiation and the spectrum of high energy neutrinos from BL Lac objects in the context of the Synchrotron Pro…

ATCA radio imaging of the ProPlyD-like objects in the giant HII region NGC 3603

A. Muecke, B. S. Koribalski, A. F. J. Moffat +2

Three cometary-shaped objects in the giant HII region NGC 3603, originally found and identified as proto-planetary disks (ProPlyDs) by Brandner et al. 2000 using HST+VLT in the opt…

Application of the synchrotron proton blazar model to BL Lac objects

R. J. Protheroe, A. Muecke

We apply the synchrotron proton blazar (SPB) model to the April 1997 flare of Markarian 501 and find we are able to fit the observed spectral energy distribution. We explore the ef…

Estimating jet power in proton blazar models

R. J. Protheroe, A. Mücke

We discuss the various contributions to the jet luminosity in proton blazar models of active galactic nuclei and describe a method of estimating the jet luminosity from the observe…

A Proton Synchrotron Blazar Model for Flaring in Markarian~501

A. Muecke, R. J. Protheroe

(abr.) The spectral energy distribution (SED) of blazars typically has a double-humped appearance usually interpreted in terms of synchrotron self-Compton models. In proton blazar…

Propagation of ultra-high energy protons in the nearby universe

Todor Stanev, Ralph Engel, Anita Muecke +2

We present a new calculation of the propagation of protons with energies above eV over distances of up to several hundred Mpc. The calculation is based on a Monte Carlo a…

EGRET Spectral Index and the Low-Energy Peak Position in the Spectral Energy Distribution of EGRET-Detected Blazars

Y. C. Lin

In current theoretical models of the blazar subclass of active galaxies, the broadband emission consists of two components: a low-frequency synchrotron component with a peak in the…

Monte-Carlo simulations of photohadronic processes in astrophysics

A. Muecke, Ralph Engel, J. P. Rachen +2

A new Monte Carlo program for photohadronic interactions of relativistic nucleons with an ambient photon radiation field is presented. The event generator is designed to fulfil typ…

On photohadronic processes in astrophysical environments

A. Muecke, J. P. Rachen, R. Engel +2

We discuss the first applications of our newly developed Monte Carlo event generator SOPHIA to multiparticle photoproduction of relativistic protons with thermal and power law radi…

EGRET Observations of the Extragalactic Gamma Ray Emission

P. Sreekumar

The all-sky survey in high-energy gamma rays (E30 MeV) carried out by the Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) aboard the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory provides a un…
