For the applications of interest, particles represent ensembles of electrons whose spectral energy distribution is governed by a kinetic transport equation that takes into account different physical processes such as diffusive shock acceleration, synchrotron emission and adiabatic expansion. An application to model non-thermal emission from extragalactic jets shows the effectiveness and strength of the approach in describing not only the dynamics but also the radiation properties of jets and, in general, of high-energy astrophysical plasma environments.STAMPAenA fluid-particle hybrid framework for the PLUTO code: applications to non-thermal emission in jetsConference paper10.1088/1742-6596/719/1/0120232-s2.0-84978044102000386617200023https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/719/1/0120232016JPhCS.719a2023VFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICAERC sectors::Physical Sciences and Engineering::PE9 Universe sciences: astro-physics/chemistry/biology; solar systems; stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, planetary systems, cosmology, space science, instrumentation
