中间体BL的甚高能Gamma-ray发射的同步辐射自康普顿方案

A Synchrotron Self-Compton Scenario for the Very High Energy Gamma-ray Emission of the Intermediate BL Lacertae object W Comae

Jin Zhang

摘要:

彗星W在多波长上有显著的变化,从射电到伽马射线波段。1998年观测到光学和X射线波段的明亮爆发,最近,VERITAS在2008年探测到强烈的TeV耀斑。这是第一个TeV中频峰值BL Lacertae(IBL)源。我发现在TeV耀斑期间和在光学/X射线爆发期间准同时获得的宽带光谱能量分布(SED)与使用单区同步加速器+同步加速器自康普顿(SSC)模型拟合得很好。令人满意的拟合需要大的聚束因子,即,$δ\sim 25$和$δ\sim 20$分别为TeV耀斑和光学/X射线爆发,表明光学/X射线爆发和TeV耀斑都来自相对论性喷流。TeV耀斑的发射区比光学/X射线爆发的发射区大3倍,TeV耀斑的磁场强度比X射线/光学爆发的磁场强度小$\sim 14$倍,这可能表明TeV耀斑的发射区比X射线/光学爆发的发射区离地核更远。TeV耀斑的IC分量峰值约为1.3GeV,而X射线/光学爆发的IC分量约为20 MeV,比TeV耀斑低2个数量级。该模型预测,光学/X射线爆发可能伴随着一个强大的MeV/GeV的排放,但TeV耀斑可能不与X射线/光学爆发。GeV辐射是表征光学/X射线爆发和TeV耀斑的SED的关键。预测的GeV通量高于\emph{Fermi} /LAT的灵敏度,并可与\emph{Fermi} /LAT的观测结果进行验证。

英文摘要:

W Comae has significant variability in multi-wavelengthes, from the radio to the gamma-ray bands. A bright outburst in the optical and X-ray bands was observed in 1998, and most recently, a strong TeV flare was detected by VERITAS in 2008. It is the first TeV intermediate-frequency-peaked BL Lacertae (IBL) source. I find that both the broadband spectral energy distributions (SEDs) quasi-simultaneously obtained during the TeV flare and during the optical/X-ray outburst are well fit by using a single-zone synchrotron + synchrotron-self-Compton (SSC) model. The satisfactory fitting requires a large beaming factor, i.e., $δ\sim 25$ and $δ\sim 20$ for the TeV flare and the optical/X-ray outburst, respectively, suggesting that both the optical/X-ray outburst and the TeV flare are from a relativistic jet. The size of the emission region of the TeV flare is three times larger than that of the optical/X-ray outburst, and the strength of the magnetic field for the TeV flare is $\sim 14$ times smaller than that of the X-ray/optical outburst, likely indicating that the region of the TeV flare is more distant from the core than that of the X-ray/optical outburst. The IC component of the TeV flare peaks at around 1.3 GeV, but it is around 20 MeV for the X-ray/optical outburst, lower than that for the TeV flare with 2 orders of magnitude. The model predicts that the optical/X-ray outburst might be accompanied by a strong MeV/GeV emission, but the TeV flare may be not associated with the X-ray/optical outburst. The GeV emission is critical to characterize the SEDs of the optical/X-ray outburst and the TeV flare. The predicted GeV flux is above the sensitivity of \emph{Fermi}/LAT, and it could be verified with the observations by \emph{Fermi}/LAT in near future.
