This work presents the use of the internal shock model to explore the
acceleration of particles and the subsequent production of radiation via synchrotron and synchrotron self Compton (SSC) processes at sub-pc scales inside a relativistic jet. A single inelastic collision is assumed to take place between an inner fast shell and an outer slow shell. The collision results in the formation of a forward shock (FS) and a reverse shock (RS). As the two shocks propagate through the shocked (emission) region, the electrons and positrons are instantaneously accelerated to very high energies. The particles continuously lose their energy through various radiative processes to produce photons at different wavelengths. We take into account the inhomogeneity in the photon density throughout the emission region by dividing the entire region into multiple zones and then considering the subsequent time-dependent radiation transfer within the zone and in between zones.
This work is partially funded by NASA INTEGRAL GO Support, NNG 06GD57G.
