Scientific Seminars
Polarization in Synchrotron and Compton Emission
Markus Boettcher
North-West University, South Africa
2016-10-20 15:00 Merate - POE
This seminar will provide an introduction to the most important radiation mechanisms acting in relativistic jets, such as those in active galactic nuclei and gamma-ray bursts: Synchrotron radiation and Compton scattering. In addition to spectral signatures and associated particle cooling, particular emphasis will be placed on the polarization of synchrotron and Compton emission. |
