Blazar光谱突变对Blazar对河外Gamma-ray背景贡献的影响

The Effect of Blazar Spectral Breaks on the Blazar Contribution to the Extragalactic Gamma-ray Background

Tonia M. Venters, Vasiliki Pavlidou

摘要:

不同类别的未解决的伽马射线发射器的贡献的光谱形状可以提供洞察他们的相对贡献河外伽马射线背景(EGB)和他们的光谱在GeV能量的性质。假设耀变体的光谱可以描述为破幂律,我们计算了BL Lacertae型天体(BL Lacs)和平谱射电类星体(FSRQs)对EGB贡献的光谱形状。我们适合由此产生的总耀变体光谱形状的费米大面积望远镜测量的EGB,发现最适合的形状再现以及费米EGB的形状为各种中断的情况。我们的结论是,一个方案中,耀变体的贡献是占主导地位的光谱的理由不能被排除在外,即使光谱断裂被证明是常见的费米耀变体。我们还发现,虽然观察到的一个无特征的(不确定性)的幂律EGB频谱费米并不一定意味着一个单一的类贡献未解决的来源与无特征的个人光谱,这样的观察和集体光谱的单独贡献人口确定的比例,他们的贡献。因此,与包括blazar伽马射线光度函数的研究进行比较可能对blazar对EGB的贡献,blazar演化以及blazar伽马射线光谱和发射产生深远的影响。

英文摘要:

The spectral shapes of the contributions of different classes of unresolved gamma-ray emitters can provide insight into their relative contributions to the extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGB) and the natures of their spectra at GeV energies. We calculate the spectral shapes of the contributions to the EGB arising from BL Lacertae type objects (BL Lacs) and flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) assuming blazar spectra can be described as broken power laws. We fit the resulting total blazar spectral shape to the Fermi Large Area Telescope measurements of the EGB, finding that the best-fit shape reproduces well the shape of the Fermi EGB for various break scenarios. We conclude that a scenario in which the contribution of blazars is dominant cannot be excluded on spectral grounds alone, even if spectral breaks are shown to be common among Fermi blazars. We also find that while the observation of a featureless (within uncertainties) power-law EGB spectrum by Fermi does not necessarily imply a single class of contributing unresolved sources with featureless individual spectra, such an observation and the collective spectra of the separate contributing populations determine the ratios of their contributions. As such, a comparison with studies including blazar gamma-ray luminosity functions could have profound implications for the blazar contribution to the EGB, blazar evolution, and blazar gamma-ray spectra and emission.
