耀变体中的快速TeV变化:喷流中的喷流

Fast TeV variability in blazars: jets in a jet

Dimitrios Giannios, Dmitri A. Uzdensky, Mitchell C. Begelman

摘要:

耀变体Mrk 501和PKS 2155- 304的快速TeV变化意味着一个紧凑的发射区,以Gamma_{em} ~100的体洛伦兹因子向观测者移动。在这些源中,洛伦兹因子明显超过在亚pc尺度上测量的射流洛伦兹因子Gamma_j \simless 10。我们提出TeV辐射起源于相对论运动{ \it在}体γ_j~10的喷流的紧凑的发射区域。这可以在坡印廷通量主导射流中物理地实现。我们表明,如果大部分的亮度的射流是容易通过重联磁耗散,然后从重联区域流出的材料可以有效地通过同步自康普顿发射所观察到的TeV耀斑供电。该模型预测同时远紫外/软X射线耀斑。

英文摘要:

The fast TeV variability of the blazars Mrk 501 and PKS 2155--304 implies a compact emitting region that moves with a bulk Lorentz factor of Gamma_{em}~100 toward the observer. The Lorentz factor is clearly in excess of the jet Lorentz factors Gamma_j\simless 10 measured on sub-pc scales in these sources. We propose that the TeV emission originates from compact emitting regions that move relativistically {\it within} a jet of bulk Gamma_j~10. This can be physically realized in a Poynting flux-dominated jet. We show that if a large fraction of the luminosity of the jet is prone to magnetic dissipation through reconnection, then material outflowing from the reconnection regions can efficiently power the observed TeV flares through synchrotron-self-Compton emission. The model predicts simultaneous far UV/soft X-ray flares.
