The radiative transfer of synchrotron radiation through a compressed random magnetic field
T. V. Cawthorne, P. A. Hughes
This paper examines the radiative transfer of synchrotron radiation in the presence of a magnetic field configuration resulting from the compression of a highly disordered magnetic…
Constraining the Physical Conditions in the Jets of Gamma-Ray Flaring Blazars using Centimeter-Band Polarimetry and Radiative Transfer Simulations. I. Data and Models for 0420-014, OJ 287, and 1156+295
M. F. Aller, P. A. Hughes, H. D. Aller +2
To investigate parsec-scale jet flow conditions during GeV gamma-ray flares detected by the Fermi Large Angle Telescope, we obtained centimeter-band total flux density and linear p…
Evidence for Shocks as the Origin of Gamma-Ray Flares in Blazars
M. F. Aller, P. A. Hughes, H. D. Aller +4
We present centimeter-band total flux density and linear polarization light curves illustrating the signature of shocks during radio band outbursts associated in time with gamma-ra…
Linear Polarization as a Probe of Gamma Ray Flaring Blazar Jets
M. F. Aller, H. D. Aller, P. A. Hughes
We describe and present initial results from a Fermi cycle 2 program designed to monitor the behavior of the centimeter-band linear polarization and total flux density emitted by g…
Observations of "wisps" in magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the Crab Nebula
N. F. Camus, S. S. Komissarov, N. Bucciantini +1
In this letter, we describe results of new high-resolution axisymmetric relativistic MHD simulations of Pulsar Wind Nebulae. The simulations reveal strong breakdown of the equatori…
Wavelet Analysis of AGN X-Ray Time Series: A QPO in 3C 273?
C. Espaillat, J. Bregman, P. Hughes +1
Quasi-periodic signals have yielded important constraints on the masses of black holes in galactic X-ray binaries, and here we extend this to active galactic nuclei (AGNs). We empl…
