Abridged.-- We demonstrate that the radiation emitted by ultrarelativistic electrons in highly nonuniform, small-scale magnetic fields is different from synchrotron radiation if the electron's transverse deflections in these fields are much…
Flattenings of nonthermal radiation spectra observed from knots and interknot locations of the jets of 3C273 and M87 in UV and X-ray bands are discussed within modern models of magnetic field generation in the relativistic jets.…
The emission of relativistic electrons moving in the random and small-scale magnetic field is presented by diffusive synchrotron radiation (DSR). In this Letter, we revisit the perturbative treatment of DSR. We propose that random and…
Unsteady activity of gamma-ray burst sources leads to internal shocks in their emergent relativistic wind. We study the emission spectra from such shocks, assuming that they produce a power-law distribution of relativistic electrons and…
We calculate numerically the radiation spectrum from relativistic electrons moving in small scale turbulent magnetic fields expected in high energy astrophysical sources. Such radiation spectrum is characterized by the strength parameter $a…
We investigate synchrotron emission models as the source of gamma ray burst spectra. We show that allowing for synchrotron self absorption and a ``smooth cutoff'' to the electron energy distribution produces a wide range of low energy…
Jitter radiation is produced by relativistic electrons moving in turbulent small-scale magnetic fields such as those produced by streaming Weibel-type instabilities at collisionless shocks in weakly magnetized media. Here we present a…
Relativistic electrons moving into a highly tangled magnetic field emit jitter radiation. We present a detailed computation of the jitter radiation spectrum, including self-absorption, for electrons inside Weibel-like shock generated…
We calculate the synchrotron self-Compton emission from internal shocks occurring in relativistic winds as a source of gamma-ray bursts, with allowance for self-absorption. For plausible model parameters most pulses within a Gamma-Ray Burst…
We consider the synchrotron emission from relativistic shocks assuming that the radiating electrons cool rapidly (either through synchrotron or any other radiation mechanism). It is shown that the theory of synchrotron emission in the fast…
Spontaneous rapid growth of strong magnetic fields is rather ubiquitous in high-energy density environments ranging from astrophysical sources (e.g., gamma-ray bursts and relativistic shocks), to reconnection, to laser-plasma interaction…
The review presents basic elements of the theory of electromagnetic emission by nonthermal particles propagating in stochastic media. In particular, general theory and a few special regimes of Diffusive Synchrotron Radiation (DSR)arising in…
The scattering of electromagnetic radiation by the particle gyrating in an external magnetic field is considered. Particular attention is paid to the low-frequency case, when the frequencies of incident radiation are much less than the…
The synchrotron emission observed from many astrophysical objects is commonly modelled to arise from relativistic electrons in an emission region occupied by a spatially homogeneous, but tangled magnetic field. However, we know that…
Diffusive Synchrotron Radiation (DSR) is produced by charged particles as they random walk in a stochastic magnetic field. The spectrum of the radiation produced by particles in such fields differs substantially from those of standard…
The standard model of GRB afterglows assumes that the radiation observed as a delayed emission is of synchrotron origin, which requires the shock magnetic field to be relatively homogeneous on small scales. An alternative mechanism --…
Growing evidence suggests that synchrotron radiation plays a significant role in shaping the spectra of most $\gamma$-ray bursts. The relativistic jets producing them likely carry a significant fraction of energy in the form of a Poynting…
Nonthermal radiation observed from astrophysical systems containing relativistic jets and shocks, e.g., gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), active galactic nuclei (AGNs), and Galactic microquasar systems usually have power-law emission spectra. Recent…
We revisit the radiation mechanism of relativistic electrons in the stochastic magnetic field and apply it to the high-energy emissions of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We confirm that jitter radiation is a possible explanation for GRB prompt…
Synchrotron emission of relativistic particles in magnetic fields is a process of paramount importance in astrophysics. Although known for over thirty years, there are still aspects of this radiative process that have received little…
