Synchrotron Radiation in Astrophysics

Synchrotron radiation from AGN (M87) The jet is ~5000 light-years in length. Possible accretion on Black Hole. Synchrotron radiation in Crab Nebula. 1953 Iosif Shklovsky proposed blue light due to S.R. from electrons at 0.5c

Fred Singer, Science Advisor to President Eisenhower: “If the satellite is indeed spiraling inward as deduced from astronomical observation, then there is little alternative to the hypothesis that it is hollow and therefore Martian made. The big 'if' lies in the astronomical observations.”
