摘要:

高红移耀变体是宇宙中最强大的天体之一。虽然它们代表了河外硬X射线天空的重要部分,但它们通常不会在伽马射线中被检测到。高红移(z>2)天体占费米迄今观测到的活动星系核总数的不到10%,而这些源的伽马射线耀斑活动更是罕见。高红移耀变体的射电-γ射线特性的表征是研究这种极端天体能量学和河外背景光的有力工具。我们目前的TXS 0536+145,这是迄今为止发现的最高红移耀斑γ射线耀变体的多波段活动的结果。在耀斑的高峰期,源的伽马射线亮度达到了6.6 × 10^49 erg/s,这与最强大的耀变体的亮度相当。从多波长观测得到的物理性质,然后与高红移人口所示的那些进行比较。此外,还将讨论高红移耀变体PKS 2149-306的初步结果。

英文摘要:

High redshift blazars are among the most powerful objects in the Universe. Although they represent a significant fraction of the extragalactic hard X-ray sky, they are not commonly detected in gamma-rays. High redshift (z>2) objects represent <10 per cent of the AGN population observed by Fermi so far, and gamma-ray flaring activity from these sources is even more uncommon. The characterization of the radio-to-gamma-ray properties of high redshift blazars represent a powerful tool for the study of both the energetics of such extreme objects and the Extragalactic Background Light. We present results of a multi-band campaign on TXS 0536+145, which is the highest redshift flaring gamma-ray blazar detected so far. At the peak of the flare the source reached an apparent isotropic gamma-ray luminosity of 6.6x10^49 erg/s, which is comparable with the luminosity observed from the most powerful blazars. The physical properties derived from the multi-wavelength observations are then compared with those shown by the high redshift population. In addition preliminary results from the high redshift flaring blazar PKS 2149-306 will be discussed.
