摘要:

非热源的宽带光谱分布,如那些几个已知的耀变体,很好地描述了对数抛物线拟合。这些拟合中的二次项测量光谱中的曲率。在本文中,我们调查是否曲率参数中观察到的同步辐射光谱可以作为一个指纹的随机加速。作为第一种方法,我们使用的乘法中心极限定理,以显示如何在能量增益的波动导致的频谱形状的扩大,引入曲率的能量分布。然后,通过蒙特卡罗描述,我们研究如何在电子分布中产生的曲率是联系在一起的动量空间中的扩散。为了得到更一般的描述,我们转向动量空间中的扩散方程。我们首先研究一些“标准”的情况下,为了了解的条件,使曲率的频谱显着,和相关的冷却加速过程。我们试图量化的曲率和扩散过程中的预平衡阶段之间的相关性,并探讨如何之间的过渡克莱因-西名和汤普森政权,在逆康普顿冷却,可以确定在平衡分布的曲率。我们将这些结果应用到一些观察到的趋势,如峰值能量和曲率项之间的关系观察到的光谱Mrk 421,和一个样本的BL紫胶对象的同步辐射峰值在X射线能量。

英文摘要:

The broad-band spectral distributions of non-thermal sources, such as those of several known blazars, are well described by a log-parabolic fit. The second degree term in these fits measures the curvature in the spectrum. In this paper we investigate whether the curvature parameter observed in the spectra of the synchrotron emission can be used as a fingerprint of stochastic acceleration. As a first approach we use the multiplicative Central Limit theorem to show how fluctuations in the energy gain result in the broadening of the spectral shape, introducing a curvature into the energy distribution. Then, by means of a Monte-Carlo description, we investigate how the curvature produced in the electron distribution is linked to the diffusion in momentum space. To get a more generic description we turn to the diffusion equation in momentum space. We first study some "standard" scenarios, in order to understand the conditions that make the curvature in the spectra significant, and the relevance of the cooling over the acceleration process. We try to quantify the correlation between the curvature and the diffusive process in the pre-equilibrium stage, and investigate how the transition between the Klein-Nishina and the Thompson regime, in Inverse Compton cooling, can determine the curvature in the distribution at the equilibrium. We apply these results to some observed trends, such as the anticorrelation between the peak energy and the curvature term observed in the spectra of Mrk 421, and a sample of BL Lac objects whose synchrotron emission peaks at X-ray energies.
