Radiative Transfer Modeling of Radio-band Linear Polarization Observations as a Probe of the Physical Conditions in the Jets of Gamma-ray Flaring Blazars

Margo F. Aller, Philip A. Hughes, Hugh D. Aller +2

Since the mid-1980s the shock-in-jet model has been the preferred paradigm to explain radio-band flaring in blazar jets. We describe our radiative transfer model incorporating rela…
