摘要:

我们提出的光学(R波段)光度和偏振监测和甚长基线阵列(VLBA)成像的耀变体S4 0954+658,随着费米和伽马射线数据在2011年3月至4月的多波段爆发的结果。在2011年1月上半月记录到亮度水平R ~17.6等的微弱状态后,源的光学亮度开始上升,在3月中旬达到~14.8等,显示出类似耀斑的行为。在2011年3月9日的夜晚观测到了最壮观的夜变现象,耀变体在大约7小时内变亮了大约0.7等。在光通量上升过程中,光偏振的位置角平滑地旋转超过300 $°$。与此同时,在1 $σ$的不确定度内,一个新的视速度为19.0 $\pm$ 0.3 c的超光速结出现了。我们有非常有力的证据表明,这个结与2011年3月至4月的多波段爆发有关。我们还分析了S4 0954+658在2008年8月至2012年4月的一些小爆发期间的多频行为。我们发现了至少两个以上的超光速喷出物和几乎同时发生的光学耀斑之间的联系的一些证据。

英文摘要:

We present the results of optical (R band) photometric and polarimetric monitoring and Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) imaging of the blazar S4 0954+658, along with Fermi and gamma;-ray data during a multi-waveband outburst in 2011 March-April. After a faint state with a brightness level R ~17.6 mag registered in the first half of January 2011, the optical brightness of the source started to rise and reached ~14.8 mag during the middle of March, showing flare-like behavior. The most spectacular case of intranight variability was observed during the night of 2011 March 9, when the blazar brightened by ~0.7 mag within ~7 hours. During the rise of the flux the position angle of optical polarization rotated smoothly over more than 300$°$. At the same time, within 1$σ$ uncertainty a new superluminal knot appeared with an apparent speed of 19.0$\pm$0.3 c. We have very strong evidence for association of this knot with the multi-waveband outburst in 2011 March-April. We also analyze the multi-frequency behavior of S4 0954+658 during a number of minor outbursts from August 2008 to April 2012. We find some evidence of connections between at least two more superluminal ejecta and near-simultaneous optical flares.
