Abstract: |
We present a numerical code, written in C, which can be
used to simulate or to analyze the emission of Blazars over the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Our code can reproduce the following features: Synchrotron emission. (Inoue & Takahara 1996),(Rybicki & Lightman 1979) - Inverse Compton emission (Thomson & Klein-Nishina regime).
(Band & Grindlay 1985),(Blumenthal & Gould 1970) - External Compton emission. - Accretion Disk variability using a Cellular Automata algorithm. - Temporal evolution of the emitting plasma energy distribution. - Flaring phenomena. - Light curves in the rest and in the Observer
frame (taking account for time crossing effects) In the following pages, we present the results obtained by our code. |
