Time-Dependent Electron Acceleration in Pulsar-Wind Termination Shocks: Application to the 2011 April Crab Nebula Gamma-Ray Flare
John J. Kroon, Peter A. Becker, Justin D. Finke
The -ray flares from the Crab nebula observed by {\it AGILE} and {\it Fermi}-LAT between 2007-2013 reached GeV photon energies and lasted several days. The strongest emission, o…

A Steady-State Spectral Model For Electron Acceleration And Cooling In Blazar Jets: Application To 3C 279
Tiffany R. Lewis, Justin D. Finke, Peter A. Becker
We introduce a new theoretical model to describe the emitting region in a blazar jet. We assume a one-zone leptonic picture, and construct the particle transport equation for a pla…
