喷流张角对相对论喷流出现的影响

The influence of the jet opening angle on the appearance of relativistic jets

T. Boutelier, G. Henri, P. O. Petrucci

摘要:

本文重新研究了考虑几何开口时相对论喷流的出现问题。我们提出了一个新的标准来定义视速度和多普勒因子,我们认为这是由最亮的射流区。利用不同的速度剖面,数值计算了非等速射流的表观速度和多普勒因子。我们认为,如果运动是相对论性的,高超光速速度beta_{app} ~ γ,预期的情况下的等速喷流,只有可能的几何准直小于相对论光束角1/γ。这相对独立于射流速度分布。对于大于1/gamma的喷流准直角,喷流的视在图像将总是由直接朝向观察者行进的喷流部分主导,其洛伦兹因子< gamma,导致最大视在速度小于gamma}。此外,摆脱了同动力学假设,得到了观测角和多普勒因子之间的复杂关系,导致重要后果的数值计算的活动星系核的人口和统一方案模型。

英文摘要:

We reinvestigate the problem of the appearance of relativistic jets when geometrical opening is taken into account. We propose a new criterion to define apparent velocities and Doppler factors, which we think being determined by the brightest zone of the jet. We numerically compute the apparent velocity and the Doppler factor of a non homokinetic jet using different velocity profiles. We argue that if the motion is relativistic, the high superluminal velocities beta_{app} ~ gamma, expected in the case of an homokinetic jet, are only possible for geometrical collimation smaller than the relativistic beaming angle 1/gamma. This is relatively independent of the jet velocity profile. For jet collimation angles larger than 1/gamma, the apparent image of the jet will always be dominated by parts of the jet traveling directly towards the observer at lorentz factors < gamma resulting in maximal apparent velocities smaller than gamma}. Furthermore, getting rid of the homokinetic hypothesis yields a complex relation between the observing angle and the Doppler factor, resulting in important consequences for the numerical computation of AGN population and unification scheme model.
