摘要:

我们提出的初步结果,从两个不同的角度:微波选择和组合的深X射线/无线电选择有直接影响的GLAST探测河外源的耀变体的两个新的调查。第一个是从WMAP 3年微波点源目录中提取的41 GHz通量限制样本。这是一个统计上定义良好的大约200个耀变体和射电星系的样本,其中大部分预计将被GLAST探测到。第二个是一个新的深调查的耀变体中选择的无线电源,空间上一致的深X射线图像(0.3-10千电子伏)的伽马射线暴(GRB)发现的雨燕卫星为中心的偶然发现的源。从统计学的角度来看,这个样本特别有趣,因为a)它是无偏的,因为伽玛暴在天空中的随机位置爆炸,b)它在X射线波段(\fx \simgt $10^{-15}$ \ergs)非常深,位置精度为几角秒,c)它将覆盖相当大的(20-30平方度)。d)它包括所有射电通量(1.4 GHz)大于10 mJy的blazar,使其比WMAP样本深约两个数量级,比最深的射电选定blazar的现有完整样本深约一个数量级,以及e)它可以用来估计未分辨的GLAST高纬度伽马射线背景及其各向异性谱的数量。

英文摘要:

We present the preliminary results from two new surveys of blazars that have direct implications on the GLAST detection of extragalactic sources from two different perspectives: microwave selection and a combined deep X-ray/radio selection. The first one is a 41 GHz flux-limited sample extracted from the WMAP 3-yr catalog of microwave point sources. This is a statistically well defined sample of about 200 blazars and radio galaxies, most of which are expected to be detected by GLAST. The second one is a new deep survey of Blazars selected among the radio sources that are spatially coincident with serendipitous sources detected in deep X-ray images (0.3-10 keV) centered on the Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) discovered by the Swift satellite. This sample is particularly interesting from a statistical viewpoint since a) it is unbiased as GRBs explode at random positions in the sky, b) it is very deep in the X-ray band (\fx \simgt $10^{-15}$ \ergs) with a position accuracy of a few arc-seconds, c) it will cover a fairly large (20-30 square deg.) area of sky, d) it includes all blazars with radio flux (1.4 GHz) larger than 10 mJy, making it approximately two orders of magnitude deeper than the WMAP sample and about one order of magnitude deeper than the deepest existing complete samples of radio selected blazars, and e) it can be used to estimate the amount of unresolved GLAST high latitude gamma-ray background and its anisotropy spectrum.
