Pair production and non-thermal radio stars
Description
The generation of relativistic electrons and positrons in thermal material surrounding a γ-ray source is examined. This in situ generation of particles can resolve many of the problems associated with the quiescent emission from non-thermal radio stars. The most luminous radio star, Cyg X-3, is used as a paradigm throughout. 15 references, 2 figures
