通过快速的gamma-ray变化限制费米耀变体中发射区的位置

Constraining the location of the emitting region in Fermi blazars through rapid gamma-ray variability

F. Tavecchio, G. Ghisellini, G. Bonnoli, G. Ghirlanda

摘要:

我们考虑了平谱射电类星体3C 454.3和PKS 1510-089的1.5年费米大面积望远镜光变曲线(E > 100 MeV),它们在这段时间内表现出高活动性。我们通过比较源在不同通量水平下所花费的时间来确定源的占空比。我们详细地考虑了极端通量时期的光变曲线。LAT在这些事件中收集的大量高能光子使我们能够在几个小时的时间尺度上找到变化的证据。我们讨论了在如此短的时间尺度上的显着变化的影响,挑战的情况下,最近先进的大部分的伽马射线的光度产生在大的距离(几十秒差距)从黑洞的射流区域。

英文摘要:

We consider the 1.5 years Fermi Large Area Telescope light curves (E > 100 MeV) of the flat spectrum radio quasars 3C 454.3 and PKS 1510-089, which show high activity in this period of time. We characterise the duty cycle of the source by comparing the time spent by the sources at different flux levels. We consider in detail the light curves covering periods of extreme flux. The large number of high-energy photons collected by LAT in these events allows us to find evidence of variability on timescales of few hours. We discuss the implications of significant variability on such short timescales, that challenge the scenario recently advanced in which the bulk of the gamma-ray luminosity is produced in regions of the jet at large distances (tens of parsec) from the black hole.
