摘要:

本文介绍了用{\it Chandra} X射线天文台观测的千兆赫兹峰谱(GPS)和致密陡谱(CSS)射电源。{\it Chandra}样品包含13个类星体和3个星系,测量的X射线光度在$10^{42} - 10^{46}$ erg s $^{-1}$范围内。我们探测到了所有的源,其中五个是第一次在X射线中观察到的。研究了样品的X射线光谱特性。在类星体中测得的吸收柱与星系中的吸收柱不同,在这个意义上,类星体没有吸收(有限制$\sim 10^{21} \rm cm^{-2}$),而星系有大的吸收柱($> 10^{22} \rm cm^{-2}$)与以前的发现一致。高信噪比源的中值光子指数为$Γ=1.84 \pm0.24$,大于射电噪类星体的典型指数。\it Chandra望远镜的角秒分辨率使我们能够研究X射线扩展发射,寻找漫射成分和X射线喷流。我们在两个类星体(PKS 1127 - 145,B2 0738 + 32)中发现了X射线喷流,一个围绕CSS类星体(z = 1.1,3C 186)的X射线团,在0941 - 080星系中探测到了可能的双星结构,在PKS B2 1345 + 12星系中探测到了扩展的弥散发射。我们讨论我们的结果的背景下,X射线发射过程和射电源的演变。我们的结论是,在这些源的X射线发射是最有可能无关的相对论性喷流,而源的射电响度可能表明在这些源的喷流功率的高辐射效率。

英文摘要:

We present {\it Chandra} X-ray Observatory observations of Giga-Hertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) and Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) radio sources. The {\it Chandra} sample contains 13 quasars and 3 galaxies with measured 2-10 keV X-ray luminosity within $10^{42} - 10^{46}$ erg s$^{-1}$. We detect all of the sources, five of which are observed in X-ray for the first time. We study the X-ray spectral properties of the sample. The measured absorption columns in the quasars are different than those in the galaxies in the sense that the quasars show no absorption (with limits $\sim 10^{21} \rm cm^{-2}$) while the galaxies have large absorption columns ($> 10^{22} \rm cm^{-2}$) consistent with previous findings. The median photon index of the sources with high S/N is $Γ=1.84 \pm0.24$ and it is larger than the typical index of radio loud quasars. The arcsec resolution of {\it Chandra} telescope allows us to investigate X-ray extended emission, and look for diffuse components and X-ray jets. We found X-ray jets in two quasars (PKS 1127-145, B2 0738+32), an X-ray cluster surrounding a CSS quasar (z=1.1, 3C 186), detected a possible binary structure in 0941-080 galaxy and an extended diffuse emission in galaxy PKS B2 1345+12. We discuss our results in the context of X-ray emission processes and radio source evolution. We conclude that the X-ray emission in these sources is most likely unrelated to a relativistic jet, while the sources' radio-loudness may suggest a high radiative efficiency of the jet power in these sources.
