摘要:

我们从2003年9月到2008年7月对blazar 3C 454.3进行了光谱监测。在不同运行期间获得16个光谱,其构成在静止帧UV区域(z=0.859)中进行的第一光谱监测。观察到MgII(2800 A)的总通量变化为3倍,而相应的UV连续谱(3000 A时的F_λ)变化为14倍。当源处于低活性状态时,MgII发射线与连续谱的变化成比例地响应。相比之下,在2005年和2007年检测到的光学爆发附近,MgII发射线对连续通量变化的响应很小。在监测期间,UV Fe Ⅱ通量变化约6倍,并与F_(?)EW(Mg Ⅱ)与F_(1-x)呈负相关,即所谓的“内禀Baldwin效应”。

英文摘要:

We performed an optical spectroscopic monitoring of the blazar 3C 454.3 from September 2003 to July 2008. Sixteen optical spectra were obtained during different runs, which constitute the first spectroscopic monitoring done in the rest-frame UV region (z=0.859). An overall flux variation of the MgII (2800 A) by a factor ~ 3 was observed, while the corresponding UV continuum (F_cont at 3000 A) changed by a factor ~ 14. The MgII emission lines respond proportionally to the continuum variations when the source is in a low-activity state. In contrast, near the optical outbursts detected in 2005 and 2007, the MgII emission lines showed little response to the continuum flux variations. During the monitored period the UV FeII flux changed by a factor ~ 6 and correlated with F_cont (r = 0.92). A negative correlation between EW(Mg II) and F_cont was found, i.e. the so-called "Intrinsic Baldwin Effect".
