摘要:

自1997年以来,BL Lacertae经历了一个高光学活动阶段,发生了几次突出的爆发。从1999年开始,全球Blazar望远镜(WEBT)联盟组织了各种多频活动,收集了数万个数据点。分析这个庞大数据集的主要问题之一是颜色变化的研究。活动期间收集的大量光学和近红外数据使我们能够对多波段数据进行深入分析,目的是了解通量变化机制。我们使用一种新的方法来分析这些数据,重点是源光谱的演变。我们表明,BL Lacertae光和颜色曲线的整体行为可以解释在一个移动的,离散的发射区域,这会导致相应的辐射的可变多普勒增强的视角变化。一个分形螺旋结构被认为是在不同的时间尺度的变异的起源。

英文摘要:

Since 1997, BL Lacertae has undergone a phase of high optical activity, with the occurrence of several prominent outbursts. Starting from 1999, the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) consortium has organized various multifrequency campaigns on this blazar, collecting tens of thousands of data points. One of the main issues in the analysis of this huge dataset has been the study of colour variability. The massive amount of optical and near-infrared data collected during the campaigns enables us to perform a deep analysis of multiband data, with the aim of understanding the flux variability mechanisms. We use a new approach for the analysis of these data, focusing on the source spectral evolution. We show that the overall behaviour of the BL Lacertae light and colour curves can be explained in terms of changing viewing angle of a moving, discrete emitting region, which causes variable Doppler boosting of the corresponding radiation. A fractal helical structure is suggested to be at the origin of the different time scales of variability.
