摘要:

在费米卫星发射之前,已知只有两类活动星系核产生相对论喷流,从而发射出伽马射线能量范围:耀变体和射电星系,两者都存在于巨大的椭圆星系中。费米号上的大面积望远镜在前四年的观测中证实了这两类是河外伽马射线天空中数量最多的源,但是从5个射电噪声很大的窄线塞弗特1星系中发现的伽马射线辐射揭示了可能存在第三类具有相对论喷流的AGN。考虑到窄线塞弗特1星系似乎是典型的螺旋星系,这一发现提出了有趣的问题,这些对象的性质,相对论性喷流的产生开始,和宇宙学演化的射电响亮AGN。在这里,我们讨论的伽玛射线发射窄线塞弗特1星系的无线电伽玛射线的属性,也在比较耀变体的情况下。

英文摘要:

Before the launch of the Fermi satellite only two classes of AGNs were known to produce relativistic jets and thus emit up to the gamma-ray energy range: blazars and radio galaxies, both hosted in giant elliptical galaxies. The first four years of observations by the Large Area Telescope on board Fermi confirmed that these two are the most numerous classes of identified sources in the extragalactic gamma-ray sky, but the discovery of gamma-ray emission from 5 radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies revealed the presence of a possible emerging third class of AGNs with relativistic jets. Considering that narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies seem to be typically hosted in spiral galaxy, this finding poses intriguing questions about the nature of these objects, the onset of production of relativistic jets, and the cosmological evolution of radio-loud AGN. Here, we discuss the radio-to-gamma-rays properties of the gamma-ray emitting narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies, also in comparison with the blazar scenario.
