Blazar S5 0716+714中甚高能γ射线的发现

Discovery of Very High Energy gamma-rays from the blazar S5 0716+714

H. Anderhub

摘要:

MAGIC合作报告了在非常高能量的伽马射线中探测到blazar S5 0716+714 z=0.31+-0.08。观测于2007年11月和2008年4月进行,由于该物体的高光学状态,由KVA望远镜触发。对于13.1小时的数据,信号的总体显著性为S = 5.8 σ。大部分信号S = 6.9sigma来自2008年4月的数据样本,该数据样本在物体的较高光学状态期间,表明VHE伽马射线和光学发射之间可能存在相关性。2008年数据样本的微分能谱符合幂律,光子指数为Gamma = 3.45+-0.54_(stat)+-0.2_(syst),400 GeV以上的积分通量水平为7.5+-2.2_(stat)+-2.3_(syst)*10^-12 cm^-2 s^-1,相当于蟹状星云通量的9%。宽带光谱能量分布的建模表明,结构射流模型似乎是更有前途的描述比一个简单的一个区域同步自康普顿模型的可用数据。

英文摘要:

The MAGIC collaboration reports the detection of the blazar S5 0716+714 z=0.31+-0.08 in very high energy gamma-rays. The observations were performed in November 2007 and in April 2008, and were triggered by the KVA telescope due to the high optical state of the object. An overall significance of the signal accounts to S =5.8sigma for 13.1 hours of data. Most of the signal S = 6.9sigma comes from the April 2008 data sample during a higher optical state of the object suggesting a possible correlation between the VHE gamma-ray and optical emissions. The differential energy spectrum of the 2008 data sample follows a power law with a photon index of Gamma = 3.45+-0.54_(stat)+-0.2_(syst), and the integral flux above 400GeV is at the level of 7.5+-2.2_(stat)+-2.3_(syst)*10^-12 cm^-2 s^-1 corresponding to a 9% Crab Nebula flux. Modeling of the broad band spectral energy distribution indicates that a structured jet model appears to be more promising in describing the available data than a simple one zone synchrotron self-Compton model.
