TeV Gamma-Ray Spectra Unfolded for IR Absorption for a Sample of Low and High Red-Shifted AGN
A. Konopelko, A. Mastichiadis, F. W. Stecker
The H.E.S.S. collaboration recently performed the accurate measurements of the gamma-ray spectra above 200 GeV for two BL Lac-type AGN in the Southern sky: PKS 2155-304 and PKS 200…
Size-Luminosity scaling and Inverse Compton Seed Photons in Blazars
Markos Georganopoulos, John G. Kirk, Apostolos Mastichiadis
We present preliminary results of our work on blazar unification. We assume that all blazars have a broad line region (BLR) and that the size of the BLR scales with the power of th…
On the nonthermal X-ray emission in blazar jets
F. M. Rieger, J. G. Kirk, A. Mastichiadis
We consider particle acceleration to high energy via diffusive shock acceleration in a simple, self-consistent shock in jet model for blazars. Electrons are assumed to be accelerat…
On "box" models of shock acceleration and electron synchrotron spectra
Luke O'C Drury, Peter Duffy, David Eichler +1
The recent detection of high energy gamma-rays coming from supernova remnants and active galactic nuclei has revived interest in the diffusive shock acceleration of electrons. In t…
