Spectral Properties of a Two Component and Two Temperature Advective Flow

Low angular momentum accretion flows very often have centrifugal pressure supported standing shock waves which can accelerate flow particles. The accelerated particles in turn emit synchrotron radiation in presence of magnetic fields. Efficient cooling of the electrons reduces its temperature in comparison to the protons. In this paper, we assume two temperature flows to explore this property of shocks and present an example of the emitted radiation spectrum.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures To be published in the Proceedings of 10th Marcel Grossman Meeting, Ed.

Spectral Properties of M87 Using Two-Component Flow

We fit the observational data for M87 using two-component advective disk model. We show that the flat spectrum from the nucleus of M87 is due to synchrotron radiation produced by non-thermal electrons in the CENBOL. The non-thermal distribution is produced due to acceleration of electrons across the shock in a sub-Keplerian flow.Comment: 4 Pages, 1 Figures, Proceeding of the 2nd Kolkata Conference on "Observational Evidence for the Black Holes in the Universe", Published in AIP, 200

Modeling of thermal and non-thermal radio emission from HH80-81 jet

Protostellar jets are one of the primary signposts of star formation. A handful of protostellar objects exhibit radio emission from ionized jets, of which a few display negative spectral indices, indicating the presence of synchrotron emission. In this study, we characterize the radio spectra of HH80-81 jet with the help of a numerical model that we have developed earlier, which takes into account both thermal free-free and non-thermal synchrotron emission mechanisms. For modeling the HH80-81 jet, we consider jet emission towards the central region close to the driving source along with two Herbig-Haro objects, HH80 and HH81. We have obtained the best-fit parameters for each of these sources by fitting the model to radio observational data corresponding to two frequency windows taken across two epochs. Considering an electron number density in the range $10^3 - 10^5$ cm$^{-3}$, we obtained the thickness of the jet edges and fraction of relativistic electrons that contribute to non-thermal emission in the range $0.01^{\circ} - 0.1^{\circ}$ and $10^{-7} - 10^{-4}$, respectively. For the best-fit parameter sets, the model spectral indices lie in the range of -0.15 to +0.11 within the observed frequency windows.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figures, Accepted for publication in the Journal of Astrophysics and Astronom
