摘要:

我们研究的限制光度依赖的密度演化模型的演化blazar给定的观测光谱的漫射伽玛射线背景(DGRB),blazar源计数分布,和blazar光谱能量分布序列模型,它涉及到观测的blazar光谱,其光度。结果表明,Fermi-LAT观测到的DGRB可以完全由blazar和非blazar活动星系核的γ射线辐射产生,并且我们的blazar演化模型与Fermi-LAT观测到的DGRB谱和blazar通量源数分布函数是一致的。我们的研究结果与以前的工作,使用EGRET光谱数据来预测费米-LAT DGRB是一致的。该模型仅包含三个自由参数,并预测在5年的观测中,来自耀变体的>~95%的通量将被Fermi-LAT分解为点源,DGRB中的通量相应减少约2至3倍(95%置信水平),这对Fermi-LAT对暗物质湮灭光子的灵敏度有影响。

英文摘要:

We examine the constraints on the luminosity-dependent density evolution model for the evolution of blazars given the observed spectrum of the diffuse gamma-ray background (DGRB), blazar source-count distribution, and the blazar spectral energy distribution sequence model, which relates the observed the blazar spectrum to its luminosity. We show that the DGRB observed by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) aboard the Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope can be produced entirely by gamma-ray emission from blazars and nonblazar active galactic nuclei, and that our blazar evolution model is consistent with and constrained by the spectrum of the DGRB and flux source-count distribution function of blazars observed by Fermi-LAT. Our results are consistent with previous work that used EGRET spectral data to forecast the Fermi-LAT DGRB. The model includes only three free parameters, and forecasts that >~ 95% of the flux from blazars will be resolved into point sources by Fermi-LAT with 5 years of observation, with a corresponding reduction of the flux in the DGRB by a factor of ~2 to 3 (95% confidence level), which has implications for the Fermi-LAT's sensitivity to dark matter annihilation photons.
