The most obvious result is the appearance of unique breaks in the SED, which would normally be attributed to a complicated electron distribution. The knowledge of the observation time and duration is important to interpret the observed spectra, because of the non-trivial evolution of the SED. Intrinsic gamma-gamma absorption processes in the emission region are only of minor importance.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-09-15T11:50:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "rapid blazar flares", "time-dependent injection", "intrinsic gamma-gamma absorption processes", "faster energy loss", "minor importance" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
