    • Monte Carlo Simulations of Compton Polarization in Astrophysical Sources 

      Dreyer, L. (North-West University (South Africa)North-West University, 2020)
      The description of many high-energy astrophysical sources relies on the production of relativistic jets that are accompanied by the acceleration of particles up to very high energies, and the production of non-thermal ...

    • Relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei and microquasars 

      Romero, Gustavo E.; Böttcher, M.; Markoff, S.; Tavecchio, F. (Springer, 2017)
      Collimated outflows (jets) appear to be a ubiquitous phenomenon associated with the accretion of material onto a compact object. Despite this ubiquity, many fundamental physics aspects of jets are still poorly understood ...
