线偏振对Gamma Ray闪耀Blazar喷流的探测

Linear Polarization as a Probe of Gamma Ray Flaring Blazar Jets

M. F. Aller, H. D. Aller, P. A. Hughes

摘要:

我们描述并提出了费米循环2计划的初步结果,该计划旨在监测厘米波段的线性偏振和总通量密度的伽马射线亮耀变体在耀斑期间发出的行为。该计划的目标是确定与伽马射线耀斑相关的无线电喷流中磁场结构的变化,并最终测试伽马射线耀斑是否与无线电喷流中的冲击波发生相关。光变曲线说明无线电波段的变化模式显示的样本程序源。

英文摘要:

We describe and present initial results from a Fermi cycle 2 program designed to monitor the behavior of the centimeter-band linear polarization and total flux density emitted by gamma-ray-bright blazars during flaring. The goal of the program is to identify changes in the magnetic field structure in the radio jet associated with gamma-ray flaring and ultimately to test whether gamma-ray flaring is associated with the onset of shocks in the radio jet. Light curves illustrating radio band variability patterns are shown for sample program sources.
