关于甚高能blazar光谱中“对产生异常”的保守模型

On conservative models of "the pair-production anomaly" in blazar spectra at Very High Energies

T. A. Dzhatdoev

摘要:

对于一些耀变体,由于河外背景光(EBL)的成对产生而产生的伽马射线吸收特征比预期的要暗。目前的工作审查的主要模型,可以解释这个悖论,重点是保守的,不包括任何新的物理。源的固有模型,允许一个非常硬的主光谱,但不能解释一个规则的红移依赖的异常起始能量。该模型包括地球附近宇宙射线(CR)产生的二次光子的贡献,似乎需要一个良好的准直CR光束,这是很难实现的。最后,考虑了由初级γ射线引发的电磁级联中产生次级光子的模型。原则上,它允许降低异常的统计显著性,并且在需要相当低的EGMF强度B的同时,不与B值的大多数当代约束相矛盾。此外,它表明,最近观察到的方向之间的相关性硬伽马射线源和空隙的大尺度结构是一个自然的功能的EM级联模型。

英文摘要:

For some blazars, the gamma-ray absorption features due to pair-production on the Extragalactic Background Light (EBL) are fainter than expected. The present work reviews the main models that could explain this paradox, with emphasis on conservative ones, that do not include any new physics. The models that are intrinsic to the source, do allow a very hard primary spectrum, but fail to explain a regular redshift dependence of the anomaly starting energy. The model that includes a contribution from secondary photons produced by cosmic rays (CR) near the Earth seems to require a well collimated CR beam, what is hard to achieve. Finally, the model with secondary photons produced in electromagnetic (EM) cascades initiated by primary gamma-rays is considered. In principle, it allows to decrease the statistical significance of the anomaly and, while requiring quite low EGMF strength B, does not contradict to most contemporary constraints on the B value. Additionally, it is shown that the recently observed correlation between directions to hard gamma-ray sources and voids in the Large Scale Structure is a natural feature of the EM cascade model.
