Particle acceleration at recollimation shocks in sub-relativistic jets. A model for jets in Seyfert Galaxies, Microquasars and Protostellar Systems

Enrico Peretti, Elena Amato, Silvio Sergio Cerri +3

Growing observational evidence suggests that subrelativistic (SR) astrophysical jets may accelerate particles at slowly evolving standing shocks. Recollimation shocks (RCS) are exp…
