The faint voice of a radio-weak BL Lacertae: modeling the broadband emission of WISE~J141046.00+740511.2

The WISE source, J141046.00+740511.2, has been recently observed from radio to $γ$ rays. Although the optical spectrum is consistent with a BL Lacertae (BL Lac) object, the source displays unusually weak radio emission, which challenges standard interpretations. Our aim is to understand the origin of the broadband emission from J141046.00+740511.2, using a leptonic model of an extended jet. To obtain the distribution of electrons along the conical jet, we solved a steady-state convective transport equation. Emissivities were computed along the jet and integrated over the cone volume to obtain the observed flux. Our model successfully reproduces the observed multiwavelength spectral energy distribution from radio to $γ$ rays and naturally accounts for the source's low radio flux without invoking extra emission zones. We also reproduce the mid-IR emission within the same framework. These results demonstrate that extended jet leptonic models can robustly describe the broadband physics of radio-weak BL Lacs.

A lepto-hadronic model for high-energy emission from FR I radiogalaxies

The well know radiogalaxy Cen A has been recently detected as a source of very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays by the HESS experiment just before Fermi/LAT detected it at high energies (HE). The detection, together with that of M87, establishes radiogalaxies as VHE gamma-ray emitters. The aim of this work is to present a lepto-hadronic model for the VHE emission from the relativistic jets in FR I radiogalaxies. We consider that protons and electrons are accelerated in a compact region near the base of the jet, and they cool emitting multi wavelength radiation as they propagate along the jet. The proton and electron distributions are obtained through an inhomogeneous steady-state transport equation taking into account acceleration, radiative and non-radiative cooling processes, as well as particle transport by convection. Considering the effects of photon absorption at different wavelengths, we calculate the radiation emitted by the primary protons and electrons, as well as the contribution of secondaries particles (e+/-, pions and muons). The expected high-energy neutrino signal is also obtained and the possibility of detections with KM3Net and IceCube is discussed. The spectral energy distribution obtained in our model with an appropriate set of parameters for an extended emission zone can account for much of the observed spectrum for both AGNs.
