Modeling the interactions of particles
- Alessandra Lamastra (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF))
This talk reviews the basic physics of particle interaction in astrohysical environments. It will provide an overview of leptonic emission mechanisms and hadronic interactions. The latter will include a review of basic kinematics of hadron-hadron and hadron-photon interactions as well as electromagnetic and neutrino emission from the decay products of such interactions.
This talk provides an overview of emission models for non-thermal photon production, with focus on jetted cosmic-ray sources. I will discuss the application of these models to non-extended and extended emission from extragalactic jets, in the framework of different environments and configurations.
Galaxies display a variety of outflows, which are detected from near the central super-massive black hole to the entire host. These outflows are often powerful enough to unbind, if sustained over time, the gas of these galaxies. Propagating through the galaxy, the outflows should interact with the interstellar medium creating a strong shock, similar to those observed in supernovae explosions,...
