LEPTONIC AND HADRONIC MODELING OF FERMI -DETECTED BLAZARS

We describe new implementations of leptonic and hadronic models for the broadband emission from relativistic jets in AGN in a temporary steady state. For the leptonic model, a temporary equilibrium between particle injection/acceleration, radiative cooling, and escape from a spherical emission region is evaluated, and the self-consistent radiative output is calculated. For the hadronic model, a temporary equilibrium between particle injection/acceleration, radiative and adiabatic cooling, and escape is evaluated for both primary electrons and protons. A new, semi-analytical method to evaluate the radiative output from cascades initiated by internal gamma-gamma pair production is presented. We use our codes to…
