亮FSRQ费米谱中的断裂和曲率识别及发射区约束

Identifying Breaks and Curvature in the Fermi Spectra of Bright FSRQs and Constraining the Emission Region

Jonathan Harris, Michael K. Daniel, Paula M. Chadwick

摘要:

平谱射电类星体(FSRQs)的伽马射线能谱偏离简单的幂律,以前已经观察到,但这仍然是未知的原因。如果伽马射线发射区靠近中心黑洞,那么来自宽线区域的光子对伽马射线的吸收预计会在伽马射线光谱中产生两个固定能量的光谱断裂。我们检查了9个明亮的FSRQs的断裂和曲率的证据。虽然我们确认偏离一个简单的幂律,断裂能通常不是预测的双吸收体模型。在某些对象中,对数抛物线拟合优于破幂律。通过将数据分成两个相等的时间段,我们发现许多物体的光谱形状随时间而变化。

英文摘要:

Deviation of the gamma-ray energy spectra of Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQs) from a simple power law has been previously observed but the cause of this remains unidentified. If the gamma-ray emission region is close to the central black hole then absorption of gamma-rays with photons from the broad line region is predicted to produce two spectral breaks in the gamma-ray spectra at fixed energies. We examine 9 bright FSRQs for evidence of breaks and curvature. Although we confirm deviation from a simple power law, break energies are usually not where predicted by the double-absorber model. In some objects a log-parabola fit is better than a broken power law. By splitting the data into two equal time epochs we find that the spectral shape of many objects varies over time.
