摘要:

伽马射线探测到的blazar 3C 454.3在光学和近红外波段表现出戏剧性的通量和偏振变化。2010年12月,该天体发出了一次非常明亮的爆发。我们通过光学和近红外光谱仪对它进行了大约四年的监测(包括2010年的爆发)。在2010年爆发期间,该物体发出了两次快速的,更红的增亮,在这两个波段中的偏振度(PD)显着增加,并且这些波段表现出依赖于频率的偏振。所观察到的频率相关的偏振导致我们提出,偏振矢量是由两个矢量。因此,我们将观测到的偏振矢量分为短期和长期分量,我们将其归因于快速增亮和爆发的排放,这些排放分别改变了几天和几个月的时间尺度。短期分量的估计PD大于最大观测PD,并且接近理论最大PD。我们约束的体积洛伦兹因子和倾斜角之间的射流轴和视线从估计的PD。在这种情况下,由于短期分量的估计PD近似等于理论最大PD,因此来自第一快速增亮的短期分量的发射区域的倾斜角应该等于90 $^{\circ}$。因此,在第一快速增亮的发射区处的多普勒因子应等于体洛伦兹因子。

英文摘要:

The gamma-ray-detected blazar 3C 454.3 exhibits dramatic flux and polarization variations in the optical and near-infrared bands. In December 2010, the object emitted a very bright outburst. We monitored it for approximately four years (including the 2010 outburst) by optical and near-infrared photopolarimetry. During the 2010 outburst, the object emitted two rapid, redder brightenings, at which the polarization degrees (PDs) in both bands increased significantly and the bands exhibited a frequency-dependent polarization. The observed frequency-dependent polarization leads us to propose that the polarization vector is composed of two vectors. Therefore, we separate the observed polarization vectors into short and long-term components that we attribute to the emissions of the rapid brightenings and the outburst that varied the timescale of days and months, respectively. The estimated PD of the short-term component is greater than the maximum observed PD and is close to the theoretical maximum PD. We constrain the bulk Lorentz factors and inclination angles between the jet axis and the line of sight from the estimated PDs. In this case, the inclination angle of the emitting region of short-term component from the first rapid brightening should be equal to 90$^{\circ}$, because the estimated PD of the short-term component was approximately equal to the theoretical maximum PD. Thus, the Doppler factor at the emitting region of the first rapid brightening should be equal to the bulk Lorentz factor.
