典型高功率耀变体

Canonical high power blazars

G. Ghisellini, F. Tavecchio

摘要:

强大耀变体的喷流在喷流外部产生的辐射相对密集的区域内传播。这种辐射是理解耀变体高能发射起源的关键因素,从X射线到伽马射线能带。这些外部辐射场控制相对于同步加速器通量的逆康普顿辐射的量。因此,预测的光谱能量分布(SED)将取决于喷流耗散其部分能量以产生观测到的辐射的位置。我们详细调查如何SED的变化作为一个函数的喷射耗散区域的位置,通过假设,而“标准”(即“规范”)处方的吸积盘和它的X射线日冕,档案的射流磁场和外部辐射。“正则”喷流的磁能密度几乎从不支配发射电子的辐射冷却,因此逆康普顿通量几乎总是支配测辐射热输出。对于大质量的黑洞更是如此。在宽线区域之外发生的耗散特别有趣,因为它以一种简单的方式解释了最大的逆康普顿与同步加速器通量比,并伴随着极硬的X射线光谱。这也使得高功率的高红移耀变体成为研究光学到紫外宇宙背景的有用工具。

英文摘要:

The jets of powerful blazars propagate within regions relatively dense of radiation produced externally to the jet. This radiation is a key ingredient to understand the origin of the high energy emission of blazars, from the X-ray to the gamma-ray energy band. These external radiation fields control the amount of the inverse Compton radiation with respect to the synchrotron flux. Therefore the predicted spectral energy distribution (SED) will depend on where the jet dissipates part of its energy to produce the observed radiation. We investigate in detail how the SED changes as a function of the location of the jet dissipation region, by assuming rather "standard" (i.e. "canonical") prescriptions for the accretion disk and its X-ray corona, the profile of the jet magnetic field and the external radiation. The magnetic energy density of a "canonical" jet almost never dominates the radiative cooling of the emitting electrons, and consequently the inverse Compton flux almost always dominates the bolometric output. This is more so for large black hole masses. Dissipation taking place beyond the broad line region is particularly interesting, since it accounts in a simple way for the largest inverse Compton to synchrotron flux ratios accompanied by an extremely hard X-ray spectrum. Furthermore it makes the high power blazars at high redshift useful tools to study the optical to UV cosmic backgrounds.
