An asymmetrical synchrotron model for knots in the 3C 273 jet [HEAP]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1504.02054


To interpret the emissions of knots in the 3C 273 jet from radio to X-rays, we propose a synchrotron model: considering the shock compression effect, the injection spectra from a shock to upstream and downstream emission regions are asymmetric. Our model could well explain the spectral energy distributions (SED) of knots in the 3C 273 jet, and the predictions on the spectra of knots could be tested by future observations.
