Relativistic Beaming

Relativistic Beaming is a radiative phenomenon in relativistic kinematics wherein the emission from a source moving at relativistic velocities is concentrated in the direction of motion due to Doppler boosting and aberration effects, resulting in enhanced observed flux and altered spectral characteristics for observers aligned with the velocity vector.
