摘要：I outline the basics of a lepto-hadronic inhomogeneous jet model for the non-thermal broadband emission of radio galaxies and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). I calculate the contribution of relativistic particles, primary electrons and protons as well as secondary muons, charged pions and electron-positron pairs, to the electromagnetic spectrum of the sources. The distribution in energy of all particle species is obtained for an extended, inhomogeneous region. I include detailed analysis of particle energy losses, injection, decay and escape from the acceleration zone and I also calculate absorption effects due to photon-photon annihilation. As an application, I consider the well-known FR I radio galaxy Centaurus A, a nearby source detected by high-energy instruments and suspected to be a cosmic radio source.
