Modelling Oscillations in GRS 1915+105 Jet Emission
Abstract
We have studied time variability in the flux from the flat spectrum synchrotron radiation of the Blandford & Konigl (1979) model for relativistic, conical jets. The resulting model has been applied to the flux variation of the flat spectrum of GRS 1915+105 observed by Fender & Pooley (2000). This comparison has highlighted a fundamental problem of the Blandford & Konigl (1979) model in that it requires unphysically large electron densities to explain the flux levels observed from the flat spectrum of GRS 1915+105.
