Resumen

Dense populations of stars surround the nuclear regions of galaxies. Inthis work, we study the interaction of a WR star with relativistic jetsin active galactic nuclei. A bow-shaped double-shock structure will formas a consequence of the interaction of the jet and the wind of the star.Particles can be accelerated up to relativistic energies in these shocksand emit high-energy radiation. We compute the produced γ-ray emission obtaining that this radiation may be significant. This emissionis expected to be particularly relevant for nearby non-blazar sources.
