摘要:

PKS 1510-089是一个强大的平谱射电类星体,z=0.361,辐射输出主要是伽马射线。在过去两年中,PKS 1510-089在所有电磁波谱上显示出高度可变性,特别是AGILE卫星上的伽马射线成像探测器在2007年8月和2008年3月的耀斑期间探测到非常高的伽马射线活动。2009年3月,观测到了一次异常的活动,有几次耀斑发作,通量达到500 x 10^{-8}光子cm^{-2} s^{-1}。对PKS 1510-089的多波长观测似乎表明存在类似塞弗特的特征,如蓝色小凸起和蓝色大凸起。此外,X射线观测表明存在软X射线过剩,这可能是体康普顿化机制的一个特征。我们提出的GASP-WEBT,REM,雨燕和AGILE在这些伽玛射线耀斑和发射机制的理论意义收集的多波长数据的分析结果。

英文摘要:

PKS 1510-089 is a powerful Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar at z=0.361 with radiative output dominated by the gamma-ray emission. In the last two years PKS 1510-089 showed high variability over all the electromagnetic spectrum and in particular very high gamma-ray activity was detected by the Gamma-Ray Imaging Detector on board the AGILE satellite with flaring episodes in August 2007 and March 2008. An extraordinary activity was detected in March 2009 with several flaring episodes and a flux that reached 500 x 10^{-8} photons cm^{-2} s^{-1}. Multiwavelength observations of PKS 1510-089 seem to indicate the presence of Seyfert-like features such as little blue bump and big blue bump. Moreover, X-ray observations suggested the presence of a soft X-ray excess that could be a feature of the bulk Comptonization mechanism. We present the results of the analysis of the multiwavelength data collected by GASP-WEBT, REM, Swift and AGILE during these gamma-ray flares and the theoretical implications for the emission mechanisms.
