Simulations of Gamma-Ray Emission from Magnetized Microquasar Jets

Table 1

Scenario C (run ) has artificially accelerated precession, while scenario D (run ) has all the densities of the system increased by a few orders of magnitude, in order to account for a higher jet-mass flow-rate (jet’s kinetic luminosity). The parameter refers to a “normalization” process that equates the results of two different methods of -ray emission calculations, one applied for energies above =100 GeV and the other below this limit.
