TeV blazar快速变率的非均匀喷流模型

An inhomogeneous jet model for the rapid variability of TeV blazars

Timothé Boutelier, Gilles Henri, Pierre-Olivier Petrucci

摘要:

我们提出了一个新的非热耀变体发射的时间相关的非均匀喷流模型,它再现了整个光谱能量分布以及快速的伽马射线变化。超相对论轻子被注入喷流的底部,并沿着喷流结构传播。我们假设连续的再加速和冷却,产生相对论性准麦克斯韦(或“堆积”)粒子能量分布。计算了每个高度的同步加速器和同步加速器-自康普顿喷流发射率。Klein-Nishina效应以及固有的γ-γ吸收被包括在计算中。由于对生产的光学深度,相当大的颗粒密度增强可能会发生,特别是在燃烧状态。随时间变化的喷流发射可以通过改变粒子注入来计算,但是由于对产生过程的敏感性,在耀斑期间只需要注入密度的微小变化。分层的射流排放,加上堆积分布,允许显着降低散装洛伦兹因子,相比单区模型。将该模型应用于PKS 2155 -304及其2006年观测到的大TeV耀斑,可以同时再现该源的平均宽带谱以及体洛伦兹因子小于15的耀斑的TeV谱和TeV光变曲线。

英文摘要:

We present a new time-dependent inhomogeneous jet model of non-thermal blazar emission, which reproduces the entire spectral energy distribution together with the rapid gamma-ray variability. Ultra-relativistic leptons are injected at the base of a jet and propagate along the jet structure. We assume continuous reacceleration and cooling, producing a relativistic quasi-maxwellian (or "pile-up") particle energy distribution. The synchrotron and Synchrotron-Self Compton jet emissivity are computed at each altitude. Klein-Nishina effects as well as intrinsic gamma-gamma absorption are included in the computation. Due to the pair production optical depth, considerable particle density enhancement can occur, particularly during flaring states. Time-dependent jet emission can be computed by varying the particle injection, but due to the sensitivity of pair production process, only small variations of the injected density are required during the flares. The stratification of the jet emission, together with a pile-up distribution, allows significantly lower bulk Lorentz factors, compared to one-zone models. Applying this model to the case of PKS2155-304 and its big TeV flare observed in 2006, we can reproduce simultaneously the average broad band spectrum of this source as well as the TeV spectra and TeV light curve of the flare with bulk Lorentz factor lower than 15.
