由射电核心位移测量确定的具有磁通量的亮耀变体模型

Reconciling models of luminous blazars with magnetic fluxes determined by radio core shift measurements

Krzysztof Nalewajko, Marek Sikora, Mitchell C. Begelman

摘要:

通过测量频率相关的射电核心位置,对活动星系核(AGN)相对论喷流中磁场强度的估计表明,这些喷流中的总磁通量与磁制动盘(MAD)喷流形成情景的预测是一致的。另一方面,磁场强度决定了同步辐射的亮度,形成了观测到的耀变体光谱能量分布(SED)的低能凸起。最强大的耀变体的SEDs强烈地由高能隆起所主导,这很可能是由于外部辐射康普顿(ERC)机制。这种高康普顿优势可能难以与MAD情景相协调,除非1)外部辐射源(宽线区域,热尘环)的几何形状是准球形而不是平坦的,或者2)大多数伽马射线辐射产生于低磁化的喷流区域,例如,在磁重联层中或在快速喷射脊中。

英文摘要:

Estimates of magnetic field strength in relativistic jets of active galactic nuclei (AGN), obtained by measuring the frequency-dependent radio core location, imply that the total magnetic fluxes in those jets are consistent with the predictions of the magnetically-arrested disk (MAD) scenario of jet formation. On the other hand, the magnetic field strength determines the luminosity of the synchrotron radiation, which forms the low-energy bump of the observed blazar spectral energy distribution (SED). The SEDs of the most powerful blazars are strongly dominated by the high-energy bump, which is most likely due to the external radiation Compton (ERC) mechanism. This high Compton dominance may be difficult to reconcile with the MAD scenario, unless 1) the geometry of external radiation sources (broad-line region, hot-dust torus) is quasi-spherical rather than flat, or 2) most gamma-ray radiation is produced in jet regions of low magnetization, e.g., in magnetic reconnection layers or in fast jet spines.
