Nonthermal Emission in Radio Galaxies from Simulated Relativistic Electron Transport in 3D MHD Flows

Abstract

We perform a series of so-called ``synthetic observations'' on a set of 3D MHD jet simulations which explicitly include energy-dependent transport of relativistic electrons, as described in the companion paper by Jones, Tregillis, & Ryu. Analyzing them in light of the complex source dynamics and energetic particle distributions described in that paper, we find that the standard model for radiative aging in radio galaxies does not always adequately reflect the detailed source structure.
