摘要:

费米伽马射线空间望远镜上的大视场望远镜(LAT)在5个射电强窄线塞弗特1(NLSy 1)星系中发现了可变的伽马射线辐射。这清楚地表明,这些NLSy 1星系确实有相对论喷流,类似于其他两种发射伽马射线的活动星系核(AGN),即耀变体和射电星系。我们在这里提出我们的多波段分析的两个伽玛射线发射NLSy 1星系,即PKS 1502+036(z = 0.409)和PKS 2004-447(z = 0.240)使用档案数据的结果。我们生成这些源的多波段长期光变曲线,建立它们的光谱能量分布(SED),并使用单带轻子模型对其进行建模。它们更类似于活动星系核的平谱射电类星体(FSRQ)类的SED。然后,我们比较了这两个源的SED与其他两个费米探测AGN沿传统的blazar序列,即BL Lac Mrk 421(z = 0.03)和FSRQ 3C 454.3(z = 0.86)。发现PKS 1502+036和PKS 2004-447的SED均介于Mrk 421和3C 454.3的SED之间。在伽玛射线光谱指数v/s伽玛射线光度平面中,这两个NLSy 1星系占据了不同的位置,其中,它们的光度在Mrk 421和3C 454.3之间,但陡峭的伽玛射线光谱类似于3C 454.3。它们的康普顿优势以及它们的X射线光谱斜率也位于Mrk 421和3C 454.3之间。我们认为PKS 1502+036和PKS 2004 $-$ 447的物理性质一般类似于耀变体,介于FSRQ和BL Lac天体之间,因此这些源可以适合传统的耀变体序列。

英文摘要:

Variable gamma-ray emission has been discovered in five Radio-loud Narrow Line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) galaxies by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. This has clearly demonstrated that these NLSy1 galaxies do have relativistic jets similar to two other cases of gamma-ray emitting Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), namely blazars and radio galaxies. We present here our results on the multi-band analysis of two gamma-ray emitting NLSy1 galaxies namely PKS 1502+036 (z = 0.409) and PKS 2004-447 (z = 0.240) using archival data. We generate multi-band long term light curves of these sources, build their spectral energy distribution (SED) and model them using an one zone leptonic model. They resemble more to the SEDs of the flat spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) class of AGN. We then compare the SEDs of these two sources with two other Fermi detected AGN along the traditional blazar sequence, namely the BL Lac Mrk 421 (z = 0.03) and the FSRQ 3C 454.3 (z = 0.86). The SEDs of both PKS 1502+036 and PKS 2004-447 are found to be intermediate to the SEDs of Mrk 421 and 3C 454.3. In the gamma-ray spectral index v/s gamma-ray luminosity plane, both these NLSy1 galaxies occupy a distinct position, wherein, they have luminosity between Mrk 421 and 3C 454.3, however steep gamma-ray spectra similar to 3C 454.3. Their Compton dominance as well as their X-ray spectral slope also lie between Mrk 421 and 3C 454.3. We argue that the physical properties of both PKS 1502+036 and PKS 2004$-$447 are in general similar to blazars and intermediate between FSRQs and BL Lac objects and these sources thus could fit into the traditional blazar sequence.
