X-ray Polarization of Inverse Compton Scattering by Thermal and Nonthermal Electrons
Boting Wang, Jirong Mao, Jieying Liu +1
X-ray emission from accretion-powered astrophysical systems is widely interpreted as inverse Compton (IC) scattering between energetic electrons and soft photons. Besides the emitt…

The Production Mechanism of the High-energy Emission Line in the Brightest Cosmic Burst
Jieying Liu, Jirong Mao, Shao-Lin Xiong +1
As a characteristic feature of the spectrum, the emission line carries critical information on the underlying physics of the radiation. After extensive efforts in decades, the firs…

Magnetic-Reconnection-Heated Corona Model: Implication of Hybrid Electrons for Hard X-ray Emission of Luminous Active Galactic Nuclei
Jie-Ying Liu, Jirong Mao, B. F. Liu
It is widely accepted that X-ray emission in luminous active galactic nuclei (AGNs) originates from hot corona. To prevent the corona from over-cooling by strong X-ray emission, st…
