Radiative processes underlying the x-ray and gamma-ray continua of active galactic nuclei and gamma-ray bursts

Thesis/Dissertation Zdziarski, A A

Steady relativistic plasmas are studied. Compton scattering, electron position pair production and annihilation, and bremsstrahlung and synchrotron emission are considered. In the steady state, the pair production rate equals the pair annihilation rate, and the energy production rate equals the electron cooling rate. Two kinds of plasmas are studied: purely thermal plasmas, and two component ones containing nonthermal as well as thermal electrons. The temperatures, electron distributions, and spectra are obtained self-consistently as functions of plasma parameters. The results are applied to two classes of cosmic sources of x-ray and gamma-ray radiation: active galactic nuclei and gamma-ray bursts. The thermalmore »« less
THE WISE GAMMA-RAY STRIP PARAMETERIZATION: THE NATURE OF THE GAMMA-RAY ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI OF UNCERTAIN TYPE

Journal Article Massaro, F ; Ajello, M ; D'Abrusco, R ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

Despite the large number of discoveries made recently by Fermi, the origins of the so-called unidentified {gamma}-ray sources remain unknown. The large number of these sources suggests that there could be a population among them that significantly contributes to the isotropic gamma-ray background and it is therefore crucial to understand their nature. The first step toward a complete comprehension of the unidentified {gamma}-ray source population is to identify those that can be associated with blazars, the most numerous class of extragalactic sources in the {gamma}-ray sky. Recently, we discovered that blazars can be recognized and separated from other extragalactic sourcesmore »« less

DUAL-FREQUENCY OBSERVATIONS OF 140 COMPACT, FLAT-SPECTRUM ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI FOR SCINTILLATION-INDUCED VARIABILITY

Journal Article Koay, J Y ; Macquart, J -P ; Bignall, H E ; ... - Astronomical Journal (New York, N.Y. Online)

The 4.9 GHz Micro-Arcsecond Scintillation-Induced Variability (MASIV) Survey detected a drop in interstellar scintillation (ISS) for sources at redshifts z {approx}> 2, indicating an apparent increase in angular diameter or a decrease in flux density of the most compact components of these sources relative to their extended emission. This can result from intrinsic source size effects or scatter broadening in the intergalactic medium (IGM) in excess of the expected (1 + z){sup 1/2} angular diameter scaling of brightness temperature limited sources resulting from cosmological expansion. We report here 4.9 GHz and 8.4 GHz observations and data analysis for a samplemore »« less

DO ULTRAHIGH ENERGY COSMIC RAYS COME FROM ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI AND FERMI {gamma}-RAY SOURCES?

Journal Article Yunying, Jiang ; Hou, L G ; Han, J L ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

We study possible correlations between ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), observed by Auger, AGASA, and Yakutsk, and nearby active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and Fermi sources. We consider the deflection effects by a Galactic magnetic field (GMF) model constrained by the most updated measurements. We found that the average deflection angles of UHECRs by the Galactic magnetic fields are less than 4{sup 0}. A correlation between the Auger cosmic-ray events and nearby AGNs with a significance level of {approx}4{sigma} was found for the Auger UHECR data sets with or without deflection correction. No correlation was found between the AGASA/Yakutsk events withmore »« less
