活动星系核中喷流-云相互作用的高能辐射

High-energy emission from jet-cloud interactions in AGNs

Anabella T. Araudo, Valenti Bosch-Ramon, Gustavo E. Romero

摘要:

活动星系核呈现连续谱和线辐射。发射线是由靠近中心超大质量黑洞的气体产生的。其中有些线条很宽,会在一个小区域内产生,称为宽线区域。这个区域可能是由围绕中心黑洞的云形成的。在这项工作中,我们研究了这种云与活动星系核喷流底部的相互作用,并计算了产生的高能辐射。我们专注于低亮度的内部喷流区域的源,以避免强烈的伽马射线吸收。我们发现,由此产生的高能辐射可能是重要的半人马座A。此外,如果存在非常大的乌云,这种现象可能是在M87中检测到的可变伽马射线发射的背后。探测活动星系核中的喷流-云相互作用将提供关于喷流底部和非常中心区域的性质的信息。

英文摘要:

Active galactic nuclei present continuum and line emission. The emission lines are originated by gas located close to the central super-massive black hole. Some of these lines are broad, and would be produced in a small region called broad-line region. This region could be formed by clouds surrounding the central black hole. In this work, we study the interaction of such clouds with the base of the jets in active galactic nuclei, and we compute the produced high-energy emission. We focus on sources with low luminosities in the inner jet regions, to avoid strong gamma-ray absorption. We find that the resulting high-energy radiation may be significant in Centaurus A. Also, this phenomenon might be behind the variable gamma-ray emission detected in M87, if very large dark clouds are present. The detection of jet-cloud interactions in active galactic nuclei would give information on the properties of the jet base and the very central regions.
