20 Evolution of synchrotron emission Basic assumptions Evolution in time Estimated results Evolution of the synchrotron flux is described by which below the peak gives and above the peak F s (t) R(t) 3 K e (t)b(t) m(α+1), Fs 1 (t) ( ) R0 3K s1 t 1B 1 t 0, s 1 = 3r e 3r d r a (n 1 1) m(α 1 + 1), Fs 2 (t) ( ) R0 3K s2 t 2B 2 t 0, s 2 = 3r e 3r d r a (n 2 1) m(α 2 + 1).

21 Basic assumptions Evolution in time Estimated results Evolution of inverse-compton emission Evolution of the inverse-compton flux below the peak, in the Thompson limit is given by F 1 c (t) R 4 0 K 2 1 B 1 ( t t 0 ) c1, c 1 = 4r e 6r d 2r a (n 1 1) m(α 1 + 1), whereas above the peak, in the Klein-Nishina regime we have F 2 c (t) R 4 0 K 1 K 2 B 1 ( t t 0 ) c2, c 2 = 4r e 6r d r a (n 1 1) r a (n 2 1) m(α 1 + 1).

22 Four basic correlations Basic assumptions Evolution in time Estimated results we have four basic evolutions: Fs 1 t s 1 for the synch. rad. before the νf s (ν) peak Fs 2 t s 2 for the synch. rad. above the νf s (ν) peak Fc 1 t c 1 for the IC emission before the νf c (ν) peak Fc 2 t c 2 for the IC emission above the νf c (ν) peak which give four basic correlations: F 1 c (F 1 s ) c 1/s 1 F 2 c (F 1 s ) c 2/s 1 F 1 c (F 2 s ) c 1/s 2 F 2 c (F 2 s ) c 2/s 2 Krzysztof Katarzyński TCfA Poland Correlation X/gamma, page 22/34

25 Correlations around the peaks Basic assumptions Evolution in time Estimated results Krzysztof Katarzyński TCfA Poland Correlation X/gamma, page 25/34
26 Impact of the radiative cooling Basic assumptions Evolution in time Estimated results Krzysztof Katarzyński TCfA Poland Correlation X/gamma, page 26/34
27 Basic assumptions Evolution in time Estimated results cannot explain observed correlations An injection of the relativistic particles into the source that increases the density could in principle explain the quadratic correlation during rising phase of a flare. However, this requires R = const., B = const. and negligible radiative cooling during the injection. By analogy to the injection, systematic energy independent escape of the particles that decreases the density could in principle explain the quadratic correlation during decay phase of a flare. However, the particles outside the source can still produce efficiently gamma rays through the inverse-compton scattering. In other words the gamma-ray emission will not decay fast enough to produce the quadratic correlation during the decay phase. What about observed more than quadratic correlations?

33 Conclusions Introduction Two sources Injection and cooling Doppler effect The proposed approach has several advantages: it can explain any slope of the correlation, in the extreme case it is possible to explain the orphan flares, the approach does not involve a new model of the emission, it uses the standard SSC scenario to explain a single source radiation, it may explain why the correlation was well determined only in a few cases so far, in was already shown that using this approach it is possible to explain also the rapid variability.
