摘要:

我们对费米LAT亮活动星系核样品(LBAS)的γ射线选择耀变体的宽带光谱特性进行了详细的研究。通过将我们精确估计的费米伽马射线谱与在LBAS数据采集期的三个月内收集的Swift,射电,红外,光学和其他硬X射线/伽马射线数据相结合,我们能够为48个LBAS耀变体组装高质量和准同步的光谱能量分布(SED)。这些伽马射线源的SED与在其他波长发现的耀变体相似,清楚地表明,在通常的Log $ν$ - Log $ν$ F $_ν$表示法中,典型的宽带光谱特征通常归因于低能同步辐射和随后的一个或多个组分的逆康普顿发射的组合。我们已经使用这些SED来表征低能量和高能量分量的峰值强度。结果已被用来获得经验关系,估计两个峰值的位置从宽带的颜色(即无线电光学和光学X射线光谱斜率)和伽马射线光谱指数。我们的数据表明,同步辐射峰值频率$ν_p^S$位于10 $^{12.5}$和10 $^{14.5}$ Hz之间的宽线FSRQs和$10^{13}$和$10^{17}$ Hz之间的无特征BL Lacertae对象。我们发现,γ射线光谱斜率与同步辐射峰值能量和X射线光谱指数强烈相关,正如预期的同步辐射逆康普顿方案中的一阶。然而,简单的均匀,一个区域,同步自康普顿(SSC)模型不能解释我们的大部分SED,特别是在FSRQs和低能量峰值(LBL)BL Lac的情况下。(...)

英文摘要:

(Abridged) We have conducted a detailed investigation of the broad-band spectral properties of the γ-ray selected blazars of the Fermi LAT Bright AGN Sample (LBAS). By combining our accurately estimated Fermi gamma-ray spectra with Swift, radio, infra-red, optical and other hard X-ray/gamma-ray data, collected within three months of the LBAS data taking period, we were able to assemble high-quality and quasi-simultaneous Spectral Energy Distributions (SED) for 48 LBAS blazars.The SED of these gamma-ray sources is similar to that of blazars discovered at other wavelengths, clearly showing, in the usual Log $ν$ - Log $ν$ F$_ν$ representation, the typical broad-band spectral signatures normally attributed to a combination of low-energy synchrotron radiation followed by inverse Compton emission of one or more components. We have used these SEDs to characterize the peak intensity of both the low and the high-energy components. The results have been used to derive empirical relationships that estimate the position of the two peaks from the broad-band colors (i.e. the radio to optical and optical to X-ray spectral slopes) and from the gamma-ray spectral index. Our data show that the synchrotron peak frequency $ν_p^S$ is positioned between 10$^{12.5}$ and 10$^{14.5}$ Hz in broad-lined FSRQs and between $10^{13}$ and $10^{17}$ Hz in featureless BL Lacertae objects.We find that the gamma-ray spectral slope is strongly correlated with the synchrotron peak energy and with the X-ray spectral index, as expected at first order in synchrotron - inverse Compton scenarios. However, simple homogeneous, one-zone, Synchrotron Self Compton (SSC) models cannot explain most of our SEDs, especially in the case of FSRQs and low energy peaked (LBL) BL Lacs. (...)
