摘要:

活动星系核(AGN)的喷流在小视角看到的是最明亮和丰富的天体在$γ$射线天空。活动星系核的喷流在视线方向上偏离,在天空中显得较暗,但比较亮的耀变体要多。我们在{ \it Fermi}伽马射线空间望远镜({\it Fermi})上计算了大口径望远镜(LAT)分辨的活动星系核(MAGN)的分布不一致引起的弥散$γ$射线辐射。建立了$γ$射线光度和射电核光度之间的相关性,并通过统计检验证明了其物理性,以及兼容的上限的基础上的{ \it费米} LAT数据的大样本的射电响亮的MAGN。我们约束导出的$γ$射线光度函数的源计数分布的射电星系(RG)的手段,由{ \it费米}-LAT.我们最后计算了整个MAGN粒子群所产生的弥散$γ$射线通量。我们的研究结果表明,MAGN可以贡献从10%到几乎整个测量的各向同性伽马射线背景(IGRB)。我们评估了理论上的不确定性通量的几乎一个数量级。

英文摘要:

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) with jets seen at small viewing angles are the most luminous and abundant objects in the $γ$-ray sky. AGN with jets misaligned along the line-of-sight appear fainter in the sky, but are more numerous than the brighter blazars. We calculate the diffuse $γ$-ray emission due to the population of misaligned AGN (MAGN) unresolved by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the {\it Fermi} Gamma-ray Space Telescope ({\it Fermi}). A correlation between the $γ$-ray luminosity and the radio-core luminosity is established and demonstrated to be physical by statistical tests, as well as compatible with upper limits based on {\it Fermi}-LAT data for a large sample of radio-loud MAGN. We constrain the derived $γ$-ray luminosity function by means of the source count distribution of the radio galaxies (RGs) detected by the {\it Fermi}-LAT. We finally calculate the diffuse $γ$-ray flux due to the whole MAGN population. Our results demonstrate that the MAGN can contribute from 10% up to nearly the entire measured Isotropic Gamma-Ray Background (IGRB). We evaluate a theoretical uncertainty on the flux of almost an order of magnitude.
