Magnetic energy dissipation and origin of non-thermal spectra in radiatively efficient relativistic sources
Emanuele Sobacchi, Yuri E. Lyubarsky
The dissipation of turbulent magnetic fields is an appealing scenario to explain the origin of non-thermal particles in high-energy astrophysical sources. However, it has been sugg…
Anisotropic electron populations in BL Lac jets: consequences for the observed emission
F. Tavecchio, E. Sobacchi
We investigate the impact on the properties of high-energy emitting BL Lac objects of a population of electrons with an anisotropic momentum distribution. We adopt a simple phenome…
The effect of rotation on the thermal instability of stratified galactic atmospheres - II. The formation of High Velocity Clouds
Mattia Sormani, Emanuele Sobacchi
Whether High Velocity Clouds (HVCs) can form by condensation of the hot () Galactic corona as a consequence of thermal instabilities has been controversial.…
The effect of rotation on the thermal instability of stratified galactic atmospheres - I. Local analysis
Emanuele Sobacchi, Mattia Sormani
Observations show that (i) multiple gas phases can coexist in the atmospheres of galaxies and clusters; (ii) these atmospheres may be significantly rotating in the inner parts, wit…
