AGN射流中整体速度结构的含义

Implications of Bulk Velocity Structures in AGN Jets

Jianping Yang, Jiancheng Wang, Benzhong Dai, Xiaoyan Gao

摘要:

建立了具有连续纵向和横向速度结构的活动星系核喷流的同步自康普顿(SSC)模型和外康普顿(EC)模型。在不同的速度结构和观察角度下,观测到的光谱显示出复杂而有趣的图案。利用这些模型计算了两个典型的BL Lac天体(BLO)(Mrk 421和0716+714)和一个平谱射电类星体(FSRQs)(3c 279)的同步辐射谱和逆康普顿谱,并讨论了喷流速度结构在BLO和FR I射电星系(FRI)统一过程中的意义。通过计算具有连续体速度结构的BL Lac天体喷流的同步辐射谱和SSC谱,发现随着视角的增加,其谱与具有均匀速度结构的喷流有很大的不同。BLO和FRI的统一不太受视角的限制,并且会受到射流本身固有的速度结构的影响。通过考虑受表观速度约束的整体速度结构的射流,我们讨论了不同视角下的速度结构在观测光谱上的印记。我们发现纵向速度结构对谱的影响很大,因为体积元是压缩或膨胀的。最后,我们给出了FSRQs和FR II射电星系(FRII)的EC光谱,发现它们与同步加速器和SSC光谱相比,受速度结构的影响很小。

英文摘要:

The synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) models and External Compton (EC) models of AGN jets with continually longitudinal and transverse bulk velocity structures are constructed. The observed spectra show complex and interesting patterns in different velocity structures and viewing angles. These models are used to calculate the synchrotron and inverse Compton spectra of two typical BL Lac objects (BLO) (Mrk 421 and 0716+714) and one Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQs) (3c 279), and to discuss the implications of jet bulk velocity structures in unification of the BLO and FR I radio galaxies (FRI). By calculating the synchrotron spectra and SSC spectra of BL Lac object jets with continually bulk velocity structures, we find that the spectra are much different from ones in jets with uniform velocity structure under the increase of viewing angles. The unification of BLO and FRI is less constrained by viewing angles and would be imprinted by velocity structures intrinsic to the jet themselves. By considering the jets with bulk velocity structures constrained by apparent speed, we discuss the velocity structures imprinted on the observed spectra for different viewing angles. We find that the spectra are greatly impacted by longitudinal velocity structures, becasue the volume elements are compressed or expanded. Finally, we present the EC spectra of FSRQs and FR II radio galaxies (FRII) and find that they are weakly affected by velocity structures compared to synchrotron and SSC spectra.
