红外- Gamma-Ray连接:河外Gamma-Ray天空的WISE视图

The Infrared-Gamma-Ray Connection: A WISE View of the Extragalactic Gamma-Ray Sky

F. Massaro, R. D'Abrusco

摘要:

利用WISE全天空巡天的数据,我们发现了耀变体的非热红外(IR)发射,这是已知的最大的河外伽马射线源,具有特殊的光谱特性。在这项工作中,我们确认和加强我们以前的分析,使用最新发布的WISE和费米源目录。我们还表明,费米耀变体的中红外颜色和伽马射线光谱指数之间存在紧密的相关性。我们将这种关联称为“红外-伽马射线关联”。我们讨论了这种连接如何链接的发射功率和光谱形状的粒子加速产生的喷流耀变体超过十年的能量。基于这一证据,我们认为红外-伽马射线的联系比众所周知的无线电-伽马射线的联系更强。

英文摘要:

Using data from the WISE all-sky survey we discovered that the non-thermal infrared (IR) emission of blazars, the largest known population of extragalactic gamma-ray sources, has peculiar spectral properties. In this work, we confirm and strengthen our previous analyses using the latest available releases of both the WISE and the Fermi source catalogs. We also show that there is a tight correlation between the mid-IR colors and the gamma-ray spectral index of Fermi blazars. We name this correlation "the infrared--gamma-ray connection". We discuss how this connection links both the emitted powers and the spectral shapes of particles accelerated in jets arising from blazars over ten decades in energy. Based on this evidence, we argue that the infrared--gamma-ray connection is stronger than the well known radio--gamma-ray connection.
