Electron injection break and pair content of quasar jets
/ Authors
/ Abstract
We study the dependence of nonthermal radiation spectra in OVV quasars on the location of the low energy break in the electron/positron injection function. We show that the high energy spectra produced during outbursts are presumably superposed from two components, one resulting from Comptonization of emission lines, which dominates at MeV-GeV energies, and the other resulting from Comptonization of infrared radiation, which dominates in the X-ray band.
