巨大AGN耀斑和Cosmic Ray爆发

Giant AGN Flares and Cosmic Ray Bursts

Glennys R. Farrar, Andrei Gruzinov

摘要:

我们预测了一类新的非常强烈的,持续时间短的活动星系核耀斑能够加速最高能量的宇宙射线,导致从恒星的潮汐破裂或从磁盘的不稳定性。这些耀斑的速率和能量很容易解释观测到的UHECR的通量和密度统计数据。讨论了预测的活动星系核耀斑产生的光子爆发;它们可能很快就会被探测到。观测结果表明,排除连续喷流的强大的活动星系核的唯一来源的高能宇宙射线的严格要求伽马射线暴的源划定。

英文摘要:

We predict a new class of very intense, short-duration AGN flares capable of accelerating the highest energy cosmic rays, resulting from the tidal disruption of a star or from a disk instability. The rate and power of these flares readily explains the observed flux and density statistics of UHECRs. The photon bursts produced by the predicted AGN flares are discussed; they may soon be detectable. Observations are shown to exclude that continuous jets of powerful Active Galactic Nuclei are the sole source of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays; the stringent requirements for Gamma Ray Bursts to be the source are delineated.
