紧凑型gamma-ray源的自动光子猝灭

Implications of automatic photon quenching on compact gamma-ray sources

Maria Petropoulou, Apostolos Mastichiadis

摘要:

目的:研究紧凑型非热源中的光子猝灭。这涉及到光子-光子湮灭和网络中的轻子同步辐射,网络可能会变得非线性。因此,源的伽马射线亮度不能超过一个临界极限,该极限仅取决于源的半径和磁场。研究方法:我们进行分析和数值计算,验证以前的结果,并扩展它们,使光子猝灭的基本性质进行了研究。结果如下:我们将上述方法应用于类星体3C 279的2006 TeV观测,得到了发射源半径、磁场强度和流的多普勒因子的允许值的参数空间。我们认为TeV观测结果要么有利于适度的多普勒因子和低磁场,要么有利于高多普勒因子和高磁场。

英文摘要:

Aims: We investigate photon quenching in compact non-thermal sources. This involves photon-photon annihilation and lepton synchrotron radiation in a network that can become non-linear. As a result the gamma-ray luminosity of a source cannot exceed a critical limit that depends only on the radius of the source and on the magnetic field. Methods: We perform analytic and numerical calculations that verify previous results and extend them so that the basic properties of photon quenching are investigated. Results: We apply the above to the 2006 TeV observations of quasar 3C279 and obtain the parameter space of allowed values for the radius of the emitting source, its magnetic field strength and the Doppler factor of the flow. We argue that the TeV observations favour either a modest Doppler factor and a low magnetic field or a high Doppler factor and a high magnetic field.
