Multi-zone Modeling of Blazar Jets: Constraints from GeV-Optical Correlation and Short-Timescale Variability

Arit Bala, Kaustav Mitra, Ritaban Chatterjee

We have developed a multi-zone model of blazar jet emission, in which the emission region contains many cells with individual magnetic fields and electron energy distributions. Non…

Locating the GeV Emission Region in the Jets of Blazars from Months-Timescale Multi-Wavelength Outbursts

Saugata Barat, Ritaban Chatterjee, Kaustav Mitra

It is well-known that the -ray emission in blazars originate in the relativistic jet pointed at the observers. However, it is not clear whether the exact location of the GeV emi…

RMS-Flux Relation and Disc-Jet Connection in Blazars in the Context of the Internal Shocks Model

Aritra Kundu, Ritaban Chatterjee, Kaustav Mitra +1

Recent analysis of blazar variability has revealed a proportionality between the mean flux and the root mean squared (rms) fluctuations about the mean flux. Although such rms-flux…

Physical Inference from the gamma-ray, X-Ray and Optical Time Variability of a Large Sample of Fermi Blazars

Anwesh Majumder, Kaustav Mitra, Ritaban Chatterjee +3

We present cross-correlation studies of gamma-ray (0.1-300 GeV), X-ray (0.2-10 keV) and optical (R-band) variability of a sample of 26 blazars during 2008-2016. The light curves ar…

The Accretion Disc-Jet Connection in Blazars

Sagnick Mukherjee, Kaustav Mitra, Ritaban Chatterjee

The power spectral density (PSD) of the X-ray emission variability from the accretion disc-corona region of black hole X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei has a broken power…
