BL蜥蜴类的长期光谱变化

The long-term optical spectral variability of BL Lacertae

I. E. Papadakis, M. Villata, C. M. Raiteri

摘要:

我们提出的结果从长期的光学光谱变化的BL Lacertae的研究,使用长和良好采样的B和R波段的光变曲线的整个地球Blazar望远镜(WEBT)的合作,分箱的时间间隔为1天。光谱斜率和通量之间的关系(随着源通量的增加,光谱变得更蓝)可以用幂律模型很好地描述,尽管在最佳拟合模型线周围存在显著的分散。在某种程度上,这是由于低振幅事件期间源的光谱演化(沿着定义明确的环状结构),这些事件叠加在主要的光学耀斑上,并在几天的时间尺度上演化。如果B波段的通量增加/减少比R波段快,则可以解释光源长期变化的“更亮时更蓝”的轻微色差。B和R波段的变化是很好的相关性,没有显着的,可测量的延迟大于几天。另一方面,我们发现,光谱变化导致那些在流量光变曲线约4天。我们的研究结果可以解释在多普勒因子的变化,由于弯曲和不均匀的发射射流的视角的变化。

英文摘要:

We present the results from a study of the long-term optical spectral variations of BL Lacertae, using the long and well-sampled B and R-band light curves of the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) collaboration, binned on time intervals of 1 day. The relation between spectral slope and flux (the spectrum gets bluer as the source flux increases) is well described by a power-law model, although there is significant scatter around the best-fitting model line. To some extent, this is due to the spectral evolution of the source (along well-defined loop-like structures) during low-amplitude events, which are superimposed on the major optical flares, and evolve on time scales of a few days. The "bluer-when-brighter" mild chromatism of the long-term variations of the source can be explained if the flux increases/decreases faster in the B than in the R band. The B and R-band variations are well correlated, with no significant, measurable delays larger than a few days. On the other hand, we find that the spectral variations lead those in the flux light curves by ~ 4 days. Our results can be explained in terms of Doppler factor variations due to changes in the viewing angle of a curved and inhomogeneous emitting jet.
