MKN501射流中的边界剪切加速

Boundary Shear Acceleration in the Jet of MKN501

S. Sahayanathan

摘要:

BL Lac天体MKN 501在射电中的喷流的高分辨率图像显示出边缘增亮的特征。由于射流的横向速度结构,将此特征解释为射流脊和射流边界的差分多普勒增强的结果,需要大视角。然而,这一推论与从高能$γ$ -射线研究中得出的约束相矛盾,除非喷流在紧接$γ$ -射线区(靠近中央发动机)之后弯曲一个大角度。在这封信中,我们提出了另一种解释的边缘增亮功能的MKN 501通过考虑扩散的电子加速在边界剪切层进入射流介质,这种考虑并不需要大的视角。此外,在射流边界和射流脊处观察到的光谱指数的差异可以在剪切加速度的框架内理解。

英文摘要:

The high resolution image of the jet of the BL Lac object MKN501 in radio, show a limb-brightened feature. An explanation of this feature as an outcome of differential Doppler boosting of jet spine and jet boundary due to transverse velocity structure of the jet requires large viewing angle. However this inference contradicts with the constraints derived from the high energy $γ$-ray studies unless the jets bends over a large angle immediately after the $γ$-ray zone (close to the central engine). In this letter we propose an alternate explanation to the limb-brightened feature of MKN501 by considering the diffusion of electrons accelerated at the boundary shear layer into the jet medium and this consideration does not require large viewing angle. Also the observed difference in the spectral index at the jet boundary and jet spine can be understood within the frame work of shear acceleration.
