摘要:

费米-LAT的GeV观测使我们有机会表征BL Lac天体S5 0716+714的高能发射(100 MeV - 300 GeV)的可变性。在这项研究中,我们进行了超过3年(2008年8月至2012年4月)的费米LAT数据源的流量和光谱分析。在此期间,源表现出两种不同的模式的通量变化的特征时间尺度为~75和~140天,分别。我们还注意到,通量变化的特点是弱谱硬化。源的GeV能谱显示出明显偏离简单的幂律,并且可以用破幂律来更好地解释。与其他明亮的费米耀变体类似,在不同的活动状态下,破裂能量不随源通量而变化。我们讨论了几种可能的情况来解释所观察到的光谱突变。

英文摘要:

The GeV observations by Fermi-LAT give us the opportunity to characterize the high-energy emission (100 MeV - 300 GeV) variability properties of the BL Lac object S5 0716+714. In this study, we performed flux and spectral analysis of more than 3 year long (August 2008 to April 2012) Fermi-LAT data of the source. During this period, the source exhibits two different modes of flux variability with characteristic timescales of ~75 and ~140 days, respectively. We also notice that the flux variations are characterized by a weak spectral hardening. The GeV spectrum of the source shows a clear deviation from a simple power law, and is better explained by a broken power law. Similar to other bright Fermi blazars, the break energy does not vary with the source flux during the different activity states. We discuss several possible scenarios to explain the observed spectral break.
