摘要:

我们的目标是寻找证据的BL Lac对象S5 0716+714的时间尺度的年度调制。2005 - 2009年,利用乌鲁木齐25米射电望远镜4.8GHz观测了月内日变(IDV)。该源显示出突出的IDV以及长期的通量变化。IDV时间尺度确实显示了支持年度调制的证据,这表明0716+714的IDV是由星际闪烁主导的。该源在2008年年中至2009年年中经历了一次强烈的爆发阶段; 2009年末观测到第二次强烈耀斑,但未发现总通量密度与IDV时间尺度之间的相关性,这意味着该源的耀斑状态对其日内变率的一般特征没有严重影响。然而,我们发现,内喷流的位置角是不断变化的,这可能会导致每年的调制噪声在各向异性ISS模型拟合。还有迹象表明,最低IDV振幅(均方根通量密度)对应于IDV的最慢时标,这与IDV的ISS原点0716+714一致。

英文摘要:

We aim to search for evidence of annual modulation in the time scales of the BL Lac object S5 0716+714. The intra-day variability (IDV) observations were carried out monthly from 2005 to 2009, with the Urumqi 25m radio telescope at 4.8 GHz. The source has shown prominent IDV as well as long-term flux variations. The IDV time scale does show evidence in favor of an annual modulation, suggesting that the IDV of 0716+714 is dominated by interstellar scintillation. The source underwent a strong outburst phase between mid-2008 and mid-2009; a second intense flare was observed in late 2009, but no correlation between the total flux density and the IDV time scale is found, implying that the flaring state of the source does not have serious implications for the general characteristics of its intra-day variability. However, we find that the inner-jet position angle is changing throughout the years, which could result in an annual modulation noise in the anisotropic ISS model fit. There is also an indication that the lowest IDV amplitudes (rms flux density) correspond to the slowest time scales of IDV, which would be consistent with an ISS origin of the IDV of 0716+714.
