摘要:

本文研究了blazar恒星内部喷流的长期通量密度与喷流位置角演化的关系。我们进行了椭圆高斯模型拟合的“核心”的50个blazar从15 GHz VLBA数据,并分析了三个blazar从模型拟合结果的变化特性。长期峰值通量密度和PA演变的“核心”的主轴之间的各种相关性已被发现在$\sim$ 20%的50个源。对其中三个典型的耀变体进行了分析,它们也显示出几年(T)的准周期性通量变化。在S5~0716+714范围内,流量密度峰值与内喷流功率密度正相关,在S4~1807+698范围内,流量密度峰值与内喷流功率密度负相关。这两个源不能用弹道喷流模型来解释,非弹道模型已经被分析来解释两个亚光速blazar。在[HB 89]~1823+568中发现了内喷流的峰值流量密度与PA(具有T/4时滞)之间的关系,这种关系可用弹道旋进喷流模型来解释。所有的解释主要是基于几何聚束效应;在未来更复杂的情况下,将考虑来自喷流底部的物理通量密度变化,这可以解释大多数样品中的峰值通量密度与内部喷流PA之间的相关性没有或不太显著。

英文摘要:

We aim to investigate the relation between the long-term flux density and the position angle (PA) evolution of inner-jet in blazars. We have carried out the elliptic Gaussian model-fit to the `core' of 50 blazars from 15 GHz VLBA data, and analyzed the variability properties of three blazars from the model-fit results. Diverse correlations between the long-term peak flux density and the PA evolution of the major axis of the `core' have been found in $\sim$ 20% of the 50 sources. Of them, three typical blazars have been analyzed, which also show quasi-periodic flux variations of a few years (T). The correlation between the peak flux density and the PA of inner-jet is positive for S5~0716+714, and negative for S4~1807+698. The two sources cannot be explained with the ballistic jet models, the non-ballistic models have been analyzed to explain the two sub-luminal blazars. A correlation between the peak flux density and the PA (with a T/4 time lag) of inner-jet is found in [HB89]~1823+568, this correlation can be explained with a ballistic precession jet model. All the explanations are based mainly on the geometric beaming effect; physical flux density variations from the jet base would be considered for more complicated situations in future, which could account for the no or less significance of the correlation between the peak flux density and the PA of inner-jet in the majority blazars of our sample.
