摘要:

我们调查的费米LAT伽马射线和15 GHz VLBA无线电特性的联合伽马射线和无线电选择样本的活动星系核在前11个月的费米任务(2008年8月4日至2009年7月5日)。我们的样本包含了173个最亮的活动星系核,它们都位于-30度以上的波段。在这一时期,从而探测了明亮的blazar种群中伽马射线响度(伽马射线与射电波段光度比)的全部范围。后者的数量跨越至少四个数量级,反映了广泛的光谱能量分布(SED)参数在明亮的blazar人口。然而,BL Lac对象,显示增加的伽马射线响度与同步加速器SED峰值频率的线性相关性,这表明这类对象的通用SED形状。同步加速器自康普顿模型比外部种子光子模型更有利于这些BL Lac中的伽马射线发射,因为后者预测康普顿优势对多普勒因子的依赖性,这将破坏任何观察到的同步加速器SED峰值-伽马射线响度相关性。高同步加速器峰值(HSP)BL Lac天体的特点是低于平均无线电核心亮度温度,没有显示大的无线电调制指数或高线性核心偏振水平。在我们的样本中,没有看到平谱射电类星体(FSRQ)的等效趋势。鉴于这些属性与相对论光束的关联,我们认为HSP BL Lac通常具有比我们样本中的同步加速器峰值较低的BL Lac或FSRQs更低的多普勒因子。

英文摘要:

We investigate the Fermi LAT gamma-ray and 15 GHz VLBA radio properties of a joint gamma-ray- and radio-selected sample of AGNs obtained during the first 11 months of the Fermi mission (2008 Aug 4 - 2009 Jul 5). Our sample contains the brightest 173 AGNs in these bands above declination -30 deg. during this period, and thus probes the full range of gamma-ray loudness (gamma-ray to radio band luminosity ratio) in the bright blazar population. The latter quantity spans at least four orders of magnitude, reflecting a wide range of spectral energy distribution (SED) parameters in the bright blazar population. The BL Lac objects, however, display a linear correlation of increasing gamma-ray loudness with synchrotron SED peak frequency, suggesting a universal SED shape for objects of this class. The synchrotron self-Compton model is favored for the gamma-ray emission in these BL Lacs over external seed photon models, since the latter predict a dependence of Compton dominance on Doppler factor that would destroy any observed synchrotron SED peak - gamma-ray loudness correlation. The high-synchrotron peaked (HSP) BL Lac objects are distinguished by lower than average radio core brightness temperatures, and none display large radio modulation indices or high linear core polarization levels. No equivalent trends are seen for the flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQ) in our sample. Given the association of such properties with relativistic beaming, we suggest that the HSP BL Lacs have generally lower Doppler factors than the lower-synchrotron peaked BL Lacs or FSRQs in our sample.
