摘要:

Fermi-LAT在2014年7月期间观测到来自blazar B 0218 +357的新伽马射线耀斑。虽然先前在2012年下半年的耀斑阶段没有观察到伽马射线光谱的重大变化,但在最近的高活动期间,该源显示出异常坚硬的光谱。后者导致MAGIC望远镜探测到来自B 0218 +357的非常高能量(VHE,E > 100 GeV)的伽马射线,确定该源是迄今为止已知的最远TeV辐射源。除了VHE发射的检测,这个耀变体特别令人感兴趣,因为它是一个双像引力透镜系统,在伽马射线中测量的透镜延迟为11.46 +/- 0.16天。我们提出了2014年7月耀斑的费米-LAT研究,并在以前的测量的背景下讨论它们。

英文摘要:

The Fermi-LAT has observed new gamma-ray flares from the blazar B0218+357 during July 2014. While no significant change in the gamma-ray spectrum has been previously observed through the flaring phase in late-2012, during this recent high activity the source displayed an exceptionally hard spectrum. The latter led to the detection of very high energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gamma-rays from B0218+357 by the MAGIC telescopes, establishing this source as the most distant TeV emitter known to date. In addition to the detection of VHE emission, this blazar is of particular interest since it is known to be a double-image gravitationally lensed system with a lens delay of 11.46 +/- 0.16 days measured in gamma-rays. We present the Fermi-LAT study of the July 2014 flares and discuss them in the context of previous measurements.
