Blazar星的光学日内变化

Optical Intra-day Variability in Blazars

A. C. Gupta, J. H. Fan, J. M. Bai, S. J. Wagner

摘要:

我们选择了一个样本的十几个耀变体,这是同时多波长观测活动在其爆发阶段的主要候选人。我们在这些耀变体中寻找光学爆发、日内变化和短期变化。在2006年10月27日至2007年3月20日的13个观测夜晚,我们使用1.02米光学望远镜对其中的9颗耀变体进行了光学光度监测。从我们的观测结果来看,我们的数据支持这样的假设:三个耀变体处于爆发状态;一个耀变体处于爆发后状态;三个耀变体处于爆发前/爆发后状态;一个耀变体处于低状态;一个耀变体的状态未知,因为没有太多的光学数据可用于耀变体与我们的观测进行比较。在对AO 0235+164进行的三个晚上的观测中,有两个晚上检测到了日内变化。在对S5 0716+714进行的五个晚上的观测中,有两个晚上检测到了日内变异。在PKS 0735+178的一晚观察中,检测到日内变异性。在对3C 454.3进行的六个夜晚的观测中,有三个夜晚检测到了日内变异。在S2 0109+224、OJ 287、ON 231、3C 279和1 ES 2344+514的第1、4、1、2和1夜观测中,均未检测到日内变异。对A0235 +164、S50716 +714、OJ 287、3C 279和3C454.3等耀变体进行了一夜以上的观测,并观察到了这些耀变体的短期变化。根据观测结果和现有资料,我们发现在AO 0235+164和S5 0716+714可能分别发生了间隔约8年和3年的光学爆发。

英文摘要:

We selected a sample of a dozen blazars which are the prime candidates for simultaneous multi-wavelength observing campaigns in their outburst phase. We searched for optical outbursts, intra-day variability and short term variability in these blazars. We carried out optical photometric monitoring of nine of these blazars in 13 observing nights during our observing run October 27, 2006 - March 20, 2007 by using the 1.02 meter optical telescope. From our observations, our data favor the hypothesis that three blazars were in the outburst state; one blazar was in the post outburst state; three blazars were in the pre/post outburst state; one blazar was in the low-state; and the state of one blazar was not known because there is not much optical data available for the blazar to compare with our observations. Out of three nights of observations of AO 0235+164, intra-day variability was detected in two nights. Out of five nights of observations of S5 0716+714, intra-day variability was detected in two nights. In one night of observations of PKS 0735+178, intra-day variability was detected. Out of six nights of observations of 3C 454.3, intra-day variability was detected in three nights. No intra-day variability was detected in S2 0109+224, OJ 287, ON 231, 3C 279 and 1ES 2344+514 in their 1, 4, 1, 2 and 1 nights of observations respectively. AO 0235+164, S5 0716+714, OJ 287, 3C 279 and 3C 454.3 were observed in more than one night and short term variations in all these blazars were also noticed. From our observations and the available data, we found that the predicted optical outburst with the time interval of ~ 8 years in AO 0235+164 and ~ 3 years in S5 0716+714 have possibly occurred.
