摘要:

我们报告的基础上的BL Lac对象Mrk 501的光学(B,V和R)通带从2000年3月至5月的监测结果。使用印度的1.2米阿布山望远镜和韩国的Sobaeksan天文台的61厘米望远镜进行了12个晚上的观测。目的是研究光源在低状态下的日内变异性(IDV)、短期变异性和颜色变异性。我们已经检测到0.05 mag的流量变化在R波段的时间尺度为15分钟,在一个晚上。在B和V通带中,我们具有较少的数据点,并且难以推断任何IDV。在观测运行期间,还在V和R波段观测到短期通量变化。在当前观察运行期间,未检测到颜色(B $-$ R)的显著变化,但(V $-$ R)显示变化。假设观测到的最短时间尺度的变化(15分钟),以代表磁盘的不稳定性或脉动的距离为5史瓦西半径的黑洞(BH),质量的中心BH估计$\sim$ 1.20 $\times$ 10 $^{8} M_{\odot}$。

英文摘要:

We report results based on the monitoring of the BL Lac object Mrk 501 in the optical (B, V and R) passbands from March to May 2000. Observations spread over 12 nights were carried out using 1.2 meter Mount Abu Telescope, India and 61 cm Telescope at Sobaeksan Astronomy Observatory, South Korea. The aim is to study the intra-day variability (IDV), short term variability and color variability in the low state of the source. We have detected flux variation of 0.05 mag in the R-band in time scale of 15 min in one night. In the B and V passbands, we have less data points and it is difficult to infer any IDVs. Short term flux variations are also observed in the V and R bands during the observing run. No significant variation in color (B$-$R) has been detected but (V$-$R) shows variation during the present observing run. Assuming the shortest observed time scale of variability (15 min) to represent the disk instability or pulsation at a distance of 5 Schwarschild radii from the black hole (BH), mass of the central BH is estimated $\sim$ 1.20 $\times$ 10$^{8} M_{\odot}$.
