Dynamics, Structure, and Emission of Electron-Positron Jets

Levinson, A.

Original · EN

The theory of gamma-ray emission from e± jets and the implications for jet formation, dynamics and structure are reviewed. In particular, possible carriers of the jet's thrust on small scales, the transition from electromagnetic to particle dominance in Poynting flux jets, formation of pair cascades, synchrotron emission by cascading pairs, and formation of shocks due to unsteadiness in the jet parameters are considered, with emphasis on the observational consequences. Some recent progress in modeling transient emission from blazars is also briefly discussed.
