Blazar的相关变率

Correlated Variability in Blazars

Robert Wagner

摘要:

耀变体被认为会发出高度准直的外流,即所谓的喷流。由于它们与我们的视线紧密对齐,相对论性光束效应使我们能够在整个电磁波谱上观察这些喷流,直到TeV的能量,使它们成为研究喷流物理学的理想实验室。在过去的几年里,耀变体的多波长观测为我们提供了详细的数据集,这有助于描述非相对论性发射的两个主要成分,分别在光学到X射线和GeV/TeV能量区域达到峰值。在轻子加速模型中,它们被解释为电子的同步辐射和来自相同电子布居的逆康普顿发射,因此,预期两种发射机制的相关性。我们回顾了最近的观测结果的存在和不存在这样的相关性耀变体,并讨论了排放模型的定量相关分析的限制。

英文摘要:

Blazars are thought to emit highly-collimated outflows, so-called jets. By their close alignment to our line of sight, relativistic beaming effects enable us to observe these jets over the whole electromagnetic spectrum up to TeV energies, making them ideal laboratories for studying jet physics. In the last years multiwavelength observations of blazars provided us with detailed data sets which helped to characterize the two main components of the non-relativistic emission, peaking in the optical to X-ray and GeV/TeV energy region, respectively. In leptonic acceleration models, they are explained by synchrotron radiation of electrons and inverse-Compton emission from the same electron population and thus, correlations of both emission regimes are expected. We review recent observational results on the presence and absence of such correlations in blazars, and discuss constraints on emission models by quantitative correlation analyses.
