摘要:

$γ$ -射线通量的变化与秒差距尺度的喷流运动学的分析表明,在BL Lac对象S5 0716+714的高能辐射具有显着的相关性与毫米VLBI核心通量密度和内部喷流的局部取向。对于第一次在任何耀变体,我们报告了显着的$γ$射线通量的变化和喷流的局部方向(位置角)的变化之间的相关性。发现$γ$射线通量的变化比7 mm VLBI核通量的变化提前82 $\pm$ 32天,这表明S5 0716+714的高能辐射来自比mm VLBI图像上的“核”更靠近中心黑洞3.8 $\pm$ 1.9秒差距的区域。结果表明,在$γ$射线发射和源内部喷流形态之间存在着很强的物理和因果联系。

英文摘要:

The analysis of $γ$-ray flux variability along with the parsec-scale jet kinematics suggests that the high-energy radiation in the BL Lac object S5 0716+714 has a significant correlation with the mm-VLBI core flux density and with the local orientation of the inner jet flow. For the first time in any blazar, we report a significant correlation between the $γ$-ray flux variations and the variations in the local orientation of the jet outflow (position angle). We find that the $γ$-ray flux variations lead the 7~mm VLBI core flux variations by 82$\pm$32~days, which suggests that the high-energy emission in S5 0716+714 is coming from a region located 3.8$\pm$1.9~parsecs closer to the central black hole than the "core" seen on the mm-VLBI images. The results imply a strong physical and casual connection between $γ$-ray emission and the inner jet morphology in the source.
