Quasi-linear diffusion driving the synchrotron emission in active galactic nuclei

Z. Osmanov, G. Machabeli

We study the role of the quasi-linear diffusion (QLD) in producing X-ray emission by means of ultra-relativistic electrons in AGN magnetospheric flows. We examined two regions: (a)…

Self-heating and its possible relationship to chromospheric heating in slowly rotating stars

Andria Rogava, Zaza Osmanov, Stefaan Poedts

The efficiency of nonmodal self-heating by acoustic wave perturbations is examined. Considering different kinds of kinematically complex velocity patterns we show that nonmodal ins…

On the role of the curvature drift instability in the dynamics of electrons in active galactic nuclei

Z. Osmanov

We study the influence of the centrifugally driven curvature drift instability (CDI) on the dynamics of relativistic electrons in the magnetospheres of active galactic nuclei (AGN)…

On particle acceleration and very high energy gamma-ray emission in Crab-like pulsars

Zaza Osmanov, Frank M. Rieger

The origin of very energetic charged particles and the production of very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission remains still a challenging issue in modern pulsar physics. By applyi…

Is very high energy emission from the BL Lac 1ES 0806+524 centrifugally driven?

Z. Osmanov

We investigate the role of centrifugal acceleration of electrons in producing the very high energy (VHE) radiation from the BL Lac object 1ES 0806+524, recently detected by VERITAS…
