摘要:

本文报道了10个平谱射电类星体(FSRQ)的XMM-牛顿和钱德拉X射线谱,它们是具有喷注同步辐射主导的X射线谱的候选者。在所有这些FSRQ,这是不太强烈的相对论光束比耀变体,一个相当大的贡献,从幂律分量类似于目前在射电宁静类星体是必需的,以解释所观察到的X射线通量和X射线光谱斜率。和射电宁静类星体一样,它们相对较高的光学/紫外通量可以由热吸积盘发射的显著贡献来解释。用同步加速器X射线寻找射电类星体的失败归因于所采用的选择标准,该标准基于BL Lacertae(BL Lac)天体的多波长通量比。一个完善的选择技术,其中还涉及无线电成像,提出了寻找这些重要的候选人的伽马射线大面积空间望远镜(GLAST)。另一方面,FSRQ的发现及其强烈的吸积盘特征有望成为研究鲜为人知的吸积盘-喷流联系的重要探测器。

英文摘要:

This paper presents XMM-Newton and Chandra X-ray spectroscopy of ten flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQ) which are candidates to have an X-ray spectrum dominated by jet synchrotron emission. In all these FSRQ, which are less strongly relativistically beamed than blazars, a considerable contribution from a power-law component similar to that present in radio-quiet quasars is required to explain the observed X-ray fluxes and X-ray spectral slopes. And as in radio-quiet quasars, their relatively high optical/UV fluxes can be accounted for by a significant contribution from thermal accretion disk emission. The lack of success in finding radio quasars with synchrotron X-rays is attributed to the adopted selection criteria, which were based on the multiwavelength flux ratios of BL Lacertae (BL Lac) objects. A refined selection technique, which additionally involves radio imaging, is proposed to search for these important candidates for the Gamma Ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST). On the other hand, the discovered FSRQ with their strong accretion disk signatures are expected to be important probes for studies of the poorly known accretion disk - jet connection.
