摘要:

目标。本文利用费米大天区望远镜(LAT)观测到的83个核心主导的活动星系核(AGN)的射电通量限制样本,研究了非同时射电、光学和γ射线测量之间的关系。方法.我们进行了多波段统计分析来研究不同波段发射之间的关系,并通过对耀变体光谱能量分布进行建模来重现这些关系。结果耀变体的伽玛射线光度与光学核和射电(15 GHz)光度之间存在显著的相关性。我们报告了类星体和BL Lacertae型天体(BL Lacs)的伽马射线光度和射电光学响度之间的良好定义的正相关性。类星体的射电光度和伽玛射线光学响度之间存在很强的正相关关系,而BL Lac的光学光度和伽玛射线射电响度之间存在负相关关系。使用简单的耀变体轻子喷流模型对这些相关性进行建模表明,吸积盘亮度(以及喷流功率)的变化能够重现在大多数相关性中观察到的趋势。为了再现所有观测到的相关性,需要改变几个参数,如吸积功率、喷流视角、洛伦兹因子和喷流的磁场。

英文摘要:

Aims. We use a sample of 83 core-dominated active galactic nuclei (AGN) selected from the MOJAVE (Monitoring of Jets in AGN with VLBA Experiments) radio-flux-limited sample and detected with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) to study the relations between non-simultaneous radio, optical, and gamma-ray measurements. Methods. We perform a multi-band statistical analysis to investigate the relations between the emissions in different bands and reproduce these relations by modeling of the spectral energy distributions of blazars. Results. There is a significant correlation between the gamma-ray luminosity and the optical nuclear and radio (15 GHz) luminosities of blazars. We report a well defined positive correlation between the gamma-ray luminosity and the radio-optical loudness for quasars and BL Lacertae type objects (BL Lacs). A strong positive correlation is found between the radio luminosity and the gamma-ray-optical loudness for quasars, while a negative correlation between the optical luminosity and the gamma-ray-radio loudness is present for BL Lacs. Modeling of these correlations with a simple leptonic jet model for blazars indicates that variations of the accretion disk luminosity (and hence the jet power) is able to reproduce the trends observed in most of the correlations. To reproduce all observed correlations, variations of several parameters, such as the accretion power, jet viewing angle, Lorentz factor, and magnetic field of the jet, are required.
