http://jca.umbc.edu/~markos/cs Compton Shop The one-zone steady-state model: A sphere of a given radius is moving with a given Lorentz factor through an external photon field with a black body spectrum. An electron distribution with a power law is continuously injected in the sphere. The electrons suffer synchrotron and inverse Compton losses and eventually escape from the source. The system reaches a steady state when the equation for energy conservation is satisfied: Linj = Lloss + Lesc The code calculates synchrotron, total inverse Compton from all sources of photons, i.e., SSC and EC emission Redshift, z Lorentz factor, Doppler factor, Exponent for power law of the electron distribution, p min, max - minimum, maximum Lorentz factor of the electron distribution Comoving luminosity, Linj, erg/s Magnetic field, B, G External photon field Radius of the sphere, R, cm Escape time, tesc , in units of R/c Table 1.

The bright radio feature detected at 10 from the core has counter-parts at X-ray and IR wavelengths. 2. The SED of the feature suggests that the observed emission is produced via the synchrotron mechanism and EC/CMB process by a single population of relativistic electrons with Lorentz factors up to 107 and energy index ~3. 3. The jet in this region is mildly relativistic with Doppler factor ~ 1.2 and magnetic field B ~ 15 G. 4. The jet most likely decelerates on kiloparsec scales by a factor of ~3 in with respect to the parsec-scale jet flow. 5. The injection of particles of such high energies in the region seems to occur at an oblique shock front formed by the interaction of the jet with a cloud that is ramming it at an angle. 6. The particles stay in the region 1.4106 yr and cool efficiently. 7. The EC/CMB process should produce -ray emission that possibly can be detected with the GLAST. Conclusions
