Description
Numerous observations and numerical simulations show us that non-homogeneous magnetic fields are ubiquitous within astrophysical phenomena, be it in a regular or stochastic way. Nevertheless, models of astrophysical non-thermal radiation (namely synchrotron radiation) rarely address all the aspects of this matter. In this talk we will examine the limits of the standard synchrotron theory used in astrophysical settings and present certain preliminary ideas how to resolve them in practice. Also we will show how synchrotron theory itself indicates the presence of non-homogeneous magnetic fields with examples from the observations of radio supernovae and gamma ray bursts.
