There are strong evidence for powerful jets in the low/hard state of black-hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs). Here, we present a model in which electrons are accelerated once at the base of the jet, and are cooled by synchrotron emission and…

We calculate the temporal evolution of distributions of relativistic electrons subject to synchrotron and adiabatic processes and Fermi-like acceleration in shocks. The shocks result from Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities in the jet. Shock…

We examine the fate of a dead radio source in which jet injection from the central engine has stopped at an early stage of its evolution ($t = t_j \lesssim 10^5$ yr). To this aim, we theoretically evaluate the evolution of the emission from…
