摘要:

本文报道了由切伦科夫望远镜MAGIC在2007年7月/8月和11月/12月期间获得的平谱射电类星体3C454.3(z=0.859)的极高能通量上限(E>100 GeV)。我们比较了两个时隙的上限与可用的准同步MeV-GeV的数据从AGILE伽马射线卫星和解释的观测结果的背景下,轻子发射模型。在2007年7月至8月和2007年11月至12月的活动阶段,用MAGIC望远镜观测了该源,并用MAGIC标准分析工具分析了数据。对于7月底和11月底左右的时期,其特点是最完整的多频覆盖,我们构建了光谱能量分布使用我们的数据与几乎同时的多频(光学,紫外,X射线和GeV)数据。只有上限可以从MAGIC数据中导出。一旦校正了河外背景光的预期吸收,再加上几乎同时的多频数据,上限允许我们限制3C454.3的光谱能量分布。这些数据与基于相对论性电子对宽线区域周围光子的逆康普顿散射的模型预期一致,该模型稳健地预测了20-30 GeV以上的锐截止。

英文摘要:

We report upper limits to the very high energy flux (E>100 GeV) of the flat spectrum radio quasar 3C454.3 (z=0.859) derived by the Cherenkov telescope MAGIC during the high states of July/August and November/December 2007. We compare the upper limits derived in both time slots with the available quasi-simultaneous MeV-GeV data from the AGILE gamma-ray satellite and interpret the observational results in the context of leptonic emission models. The source was observed with the MAGIC telescope during the active phases of July-August 2007 and November-December 2007 and the data were analyzed with the MAGIC standard analysis tools. For the periods around the ends of July and November, characterized by the most complete multifrequency coverage, we constructed the spectral energy distributions using our data together with nearly simultaneous multifrequency (optical, UV, X-ray and GeV) data. Only upper limits can be derived from the MAGIC data. The upper limits, once corrected for the expected absorption by the extragalactic background light, together with nearly simultaneous multifrequency data, allow us to constrain the spectral energy distribution of 3C454.3. The data are consistent with the model expectations based on the inverse Compton scattering of the ambient photons from the broad line region by relativistic electrons, which robustly predicts a sharp cut-off above 20-30 GeV.
