Gamma-ray signatures from pair cascades in recombination-line radiation fields
Christoph Wendel, Josefa Becerra González, Amit Shukla +2
Beams of ultra-relativistic electrons in blazar jets develop pair cascades interacting with ambient soft photons. Employing coupled kinetic equations with escape terms, we model th…
Pair Cascades at the Edge of the Broad-Line Region Shaping the Gamma-Ray Spectrum of 3C 279
Christoph Wendel, Amit Shukla, Karl Mannheim
The blazar 3C 279 emits a flux of gamma-rays that is variable on timescales as short as the light-crossing time across the event horizon of its central black hole. It is commonly r…
The relentless variability of Mrk 421 from the TeV to the radio
Axel Arbet-Engels, Dominik Baack, Matteo Balbo +22
The origin of the gamma-ray emission of the blazar Mrk 421 is still a matter of debate. We used 5.5 years of unbiased observing campaign data, obtained using the FACT telescope and…
