斜激波作为射电到AGN中Gamma-ray变率的起源

Oblique Shocks As The Origin Of Radio To Gamma-ray Variability In AGN

Philip A. Hughes, Margo F. Aller, Hugh D. Aller

摘要:

厘米波段blazar可变性的“喷流中的激波”模型被重新审视,允许任意激波相对于喷流方向的取向,以及随机和有序的磁场。结果表明,斜震可以解释偏振位置角摆动远小于90 °的事件。与横向结构相关,同时保留爆发的一般特征,包括光谱行为和峰值百分比偏振水平。由一个力自由,最小能量磁场配置(基本上是螺旋形)为主的模型显示一个浅的百分比上升的极化和频率依赖的摆动的极化位置角不符合单碟监测观测的结果,这意味着该领域主要是随机的静态。在几个源的伽马射线耀斑期间,存在由“喷流中的激波”模型很好解释的爆发,这支持了激波事件是从无线电到伽马射线波段活动的原因的观点。

英文摘要:

The `shock in jet' model for cm-waveband blazar variability is revisited, allowing for arbitrary shock orientation with respect to the jet flow direction, and both random and ordered magnetic field. It is shown that oblique shocks can explain events with swings in polarization position angle much less than the 90 deg. associated with transverse structures, while retaining the general characteristics of outbursts, including spectral behavior and level of peak percentage polarization. Models dominated by a force-free, minimum energy magnetic field configuration (essentially helical) display a shallow rise in percentage polarization and frequency dependent swing in polarization position angle not in agreement with the results of single-dish monitoring observations, implying that the field is predominantly random in the quiescent state. Outbursts well-explained by the `shock in jet' model are present during gamma-ray flaring in several sources, supporting the idea that shock events are responsible for activity from the radio to gamma-ray bands.
