PAIR PRODUCTION IN LOW-LUMINOSITY GALACTIC NUCLEI

PAIR PRODUCTION IN LOW-LUMINOSITY GALACTIC NUCLEI

Electron–positron pairs may be produced near accreting black holes by a variety of physical processes, and the resulting pair plasma may be accelerated and collimated into a relativistic jet. Here, we use a self-consistent dynamical and radiative model to investigate pair production by γγ collisions in weakly radiative accretion flows …
