由于EBL吸收引起的甚高能blazar样品的光谱趋势

Spectral trends in the Very High Energy blazar sample due to EBL absorption

B. Behera, S. J. Wagner

摘要:

由于EBL(河外背景光)的存在,星系际介质对伽马射线的吸收使得所观测到的耀变体光谱比它们的本征状态更暗更软。因此,可以预期它会随着红移而出现有效的光谱软化趋势。在目前观测到的VHE耀变体样本中,这种趋势并不明显。为了检查母blazar种群的哪些属性分布可以重现观测结果,进行了各种模拟。检查满足当前一代ACTs(大气切伦科夫望远镜)的通用检测标准的子样本,以确定是否需要任何固有的相关性(光谱特性与红移)来解释当前的观测结果。

英文摘要:

The absorption of gamma-rays in the intergalactic medium due to the EBL (Extragalactic Background Light) causes the observed blazar spectrum to be fainter and softer than their intrinsic state. It could thus be expected to see an effective spectral-softening trend with redshift. No such trend is evident in the sample of VHE blazars currently observed. To check which distributions of the properties of the parent blazar population could reproduce the observations, various simulations are done. The resulting subsamples that satisfy a generic detection criterion for the current generation of ACTs (Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope) are checked to identify whether any inherent correlations (of spectral properties with redshift) are required to explain the current observations.
