摘要:

本文介绍了利用巨型米波射电望远镜和甚大天线阵进行的多频射电观测,以及利用巨型射电源(GRS)3C 457的X射线多镜任务({ \it XMM-Newton})望远镜进行的X射线观测。利用X射线探测了大射电暴的核、叶和环境。我们研究无线电和X射线发射之间的关系,确定在一个大的频率范围内的无线电频谱和属性的X射线发射从叶逆康普顿散射的宇宙微波背景(CMB)光子。波瓣的磁场强度非常接近均分值。两个凸起在热点附近处于压力平衡状态,并且明显地向核心处压力不足。GRS核心的X射线光谱由未吸收的软幂律成分和被严重吸收的硬幂律成分组成。未被吸收的软成分可能与射电喷流有关。在我们的实验数据中没有发现Fe K $α$发射线的强有力证据。

英文摘要:

We present multi-frequency radio observations with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope and Very Large Array, and X-ray observations with the X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission ({\it XMM-Newton}) telescope of the giant radio source (GRS) 3C 457. We have detected the core, lobes and the environment of the GRS in X-ray. We examine the relationships between the radio and X-ray emission, determine the radio spectrum over a large frequency range and attribute the X-ray emission from the lobes to the inverse-Compton scattering of cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons. The magnetic field strength of the lobes is very close to the equipartition value. Both the lobes are in pressure balance near the hotspots and apparently under-pressured towards the core. The X-ray spectrum of the core of the GRS consists of an unabsorbed soft power-law component and a heavily absorbed hard power-law component. The soft unabsorbed component is likely to be related to the radio jets. There is no strong evidence of Fe K$α$ emission line in our data.
