亚pc和大尺度上的河外喷流

Extragalactic jets on subpc and large scales

F. Tavecchio

摘要:

通过对耀变体的相对论增强辐射的研究,可以在喷流的最内层(d~0.1 pc)探测喷流。在空间尺度的另一个极端,在钱德拉发现明亮的X射线辐射来自距离中央引擎数百千秒差距以上的区域之后,对河外相对论喷流的结构和动力学的研究得到了新的推动。因此,在两种尺度下,可以推断出流动的一些基本参数(速度、密度、磁场强度、功率)。在简要回顾了现有的观测证据后,我讨论了如何在两个尺度上独立推导出的物理量之间的比较可以用来阐明喷流的全球动力学,从最里面的区域到数百kpc尺度。

英文摘要:

Jets can be probed in their innermost regions (d~0.1 pc) through the study of the relativistically-boosted emission of blazars. On the other extreme of spatial scales, the study of structure and dynamics of extragalactic relativistic jets received renewed impulse after the discovery, made by Chandra, of bright X-ray emission from regions at distances larger than hundreds of kpc from the central engine. At both scales it is thus possible to infer some of the basic parameters of the flow (speed, density, magnetic field intensity, power). After a brief review of the available observational evidence, I discuss how the comparison between the physical quantities independently derived at the two scales can be used to shed light on the global dynamics of the jet, from the innermost regions to the hundreds of kpc scale.
