摘要:

内容:本文介绍了ROSAT全天巡天和全通量密度限制的Caltech-Jodrell Bank平谱样品(以下简称CJF)活动星系核的点PSPC观测所获得的软X射线性质。CJF是对293 AGN的VLBI观测(VLBA观测,频率为5 GHz),提供了喷流分量运动的详细信息。目的:我们调查和讨论的软X射线性质的活动星系核样品和检查X射线和VLBI性质之间的相关性,测试聚束的情况下,和搜索的ROSAT探测到的和未探测到的子样品之间的区别属性。研究方法:通过假设观测到的X射线为逆康普顿(IC)源,比较观测到的和预测的X射线通量,计算出聚束因子或多普勒因子,并将多普勒因子与VLBI观测得到的其他聚束指标,如膨胀速度值、观测到的和本征的亮度温度进行比较。此外,我们调查的活动星系核的大规模无线电结构和pc和kpc尺度的结构(错位)之间的差异与X射线observation.Results:我们发现X射线和射电光度之间的关系几乎是线性的,和一个类似的,但不太严格的行为之间的关系光学和X射线光度。ROSAT探测到的类星体与未探测到的类星体相比具有不同的$β_{\rm app}$ -红移关系。ROSAT探测到的辐射源往往更经常地揭示出扩展的大规模射电结构。结论:我们得出的结论是,单独的聚束无法解释所观察到的ROSAT检测或未检测的二分法,并假设大规模喷流结构起着决定性作用。

英文摘要:

Context: We present the soft X-ray properties obtained in the ROSAT All-Sky survey and from pointed PSPC observations for the AGN in the complete flux-density limited Caltech-Jodrell Bank flat spectrum sample (hereafter CJF). CJF is a VLBI survey (VLBA observations at 5 GHz) of 293 AGN with detailed information on jet component motion. Aims: We investigate and discuss the soft X-ray properties of this AGN sample and examine the correlations between X-ray and VLBI properties, test beaming scenarios, and search for the discriminating properties between the sub-samples detected and not detected by ROSAT. Methods: Comparing the observed and the predicted X-ray fluxes by assuming an Inverse Compton (IC) origin for the observed X-rays, we compute the beaming or Doppler factor and contrast the Doppler factors with other beaming indicators derived from the VLBI observations, such as the value of the expansion velocity, and the observed and intrinsic brightness temperature. In addition, we investigate the large-scale radio structure of the AGN and the difference between the pc- and kpc-scale structure (misalignment) with regard to the X-ray observations.Results: We find a nearly linear relation between X-ray and radio luminosities, and a similar but less stringent behaviour for the relation between optical and X-ray luminosities. The quasars detected by ROSAT have a different $β_{\rm app}$-redshift relationship compared to the non-detected ones. ROSAT-detected sources tend to reveal extended large-scale radio structures more often. Conclusions: We conclude that beaming alone cannot explain the observed dichotomy of ROSAT detection or non-detection and assume that the large-scale jet structure plays a decisive role.
