A self-consistent interpretation of the GeV–TeV emission from a distant blazar PKS 1424+240
A self-consistent interpretation of the GeV–TeV emission from a distant blazar PKS 1424+240
We propose a scenario for self-consistent interpretation of GeV - TeV spectrum of a distant blazar PKS 1424+240. In this scenario, ultra-high energy (UHE) protons are assumed to exist in the blazar jet and produce gamma rays through synchrotron emission emitted by relativistic protons and pair cascades (resulted from $p\gamma$ …
