Magnetic reconnection is often considered as the primary particle acceleration mechanism in a magnetized blazar zone environment. The majority of radiation in the reconnection layer comes from plasmoids and their mergers. In particular,…

BeppoSAX observed GRS 1915+105 on October 2000 with a long pointing lasting about ten days. During this observation, the source was mainly in the rho class characterized by bursts with a recurrence time of between 40 and 100 s. We identify…

We consider parametric generation of electrostatic waves in the magnetosphere of the pulsar PSR0531. It is shown that in the framework of this mechanism it is possible to convert the pulsar rotational energy into the energy of Langmuir…

GRS 1915+105 has been in a bright flux state for more than 2 decades, but in 2018 a significant drop in flux was observed, partly due to changes in the central engine along with increased X-ray absorption. The aim of this work is to explore…

A time-dependent Synchrotron Self Compton model (SSC) which is able to motivate the used electron spectra of many SSC models as a balance of acceleration and radiative losses is introduced. Using stochastic acceleration as well as Fermi-I…

We study the spectral energy distribution of gamma rays and neutrinos in the precessing microquasar SS433 as a result of pp interactions within its dark jets. Gamma-ray absorption due to interactions with matter of the extended disk and of…

We model rapid variability of multifrequency emission from blazars occurring across the electromagnetic spectrum (from radio to gamma-rays). Lower energy emission is produced by the synchrotron mechanism, whereas higher energy emission is…

We present the multiwavelength flaring activity of the blazar AO 0235+164 during its recent active period from 2013 to 2019. From a discrete correlation function (DCF) analysis, we find a significant (>95%) correlation between radio and…

We report the discovery of fast (~ 100 sec) 2.2 micron flares from the microquasar GRS 1915+105, which are superimposed on longer (~ 30 min), brighter flares corresponding to episodes of jet formation. The number and strength of the…

We propose that relativistic Galactic jets like those observed in GRS 1915+105 and GRO J1655-40 may produce small but measurable contributions to the cosmic ray (CR) spectrum. If these jets contain cold protons and heavy ions (as in SS433),…

Some of the most energetic pulsars exhibit rotation-modulated gamma-ray emission in the $0.1$ to $100$ GeV band. The luminosity of this emission is typically $0.1\text{-}10\%$ of the pulsar spin-down power (gamma-ray efficiency), implying…
