PMN J0948 +0022的变偏振和FERMI观测

The Variable Optical Polarization and FERMI Observations of PMN J0948+0022

Joseph R. Eggen, H. Richard Miller, Jeremy D. Maune

摘要:

本文报道了射电强、窄线1型塞弗特星系PMNJ 0948 +0022的γ射线和光学旋光行为的27个月观测结果。由于这个对象最近被认为是一个新兴的类耀变体对象的原型,所观察到的属性相比,耀变体。我们提取了光学和γ射线波段的大约4小时的倍增时间尺度。我们观察到的PMN J 0948 +0022的光学/近红外光谱的快速微变、显著和可变的光学偏振以及强而快速变化的γ射线发射都是与耀变体相关的经典观测特征。然而,由于这些观测结果并没有显示出γ射线和光学行为之间的明确相关性,因此它们并没有提供确凿的证据证明PMN J 0948 +0022的发射行为是由于靠近我们视线的相对论性喷流引起的。

英文摘要:

We report on observations of the γ-ray and optical photopolarimetric behavior of the radio-loud, narrow line type-1 Seyfert galaxy PMN J0948+0022 over a twenty seven month period. As this object has recently been suggested to represent a prototype of an emerging class of blazar-like objects, the observed properties are compared to those of blazars. We extract doubling timescales of roughly 4 hours for the optical and γ-ray bands. The rapid microvariability in the optical/NIR, significant and variable optical polarization, and strong yet rapidly-variable γ-ray emission we observe for PMN J0948+0022 are all classical observational characteristics associated with blazars. However, since these observations do not show a clear correlation between the γ-ray and optical behavior, they do not offer conclusive proof that the emissive behavior of PMN J0948+0022 is due to a relativistic jet oriented close to our line of sight.
