摘要:

第三个费米大天区望远镜(LAT)的$γ$射线源目录(3FGL)包含了超过1000个天体,在其他波长没有已知的对应物。这些物体发射$γ$射线的物理来源尚不清楚。这样的天体通常被称为无关联天体,并且大多数不会表现出显著的$γ$射线通量变化。我们使用澳大利亚望远镜紧凑阵列和甚大阵列在4.0-10.0 GHz范围内对3FGL中发现的所有非关联$γ$射线源进行了调查。我们发现了2097个无线电候选者与$γ$射线源。对这些候选天体中的一部分进行的超长基线干涉测量的后续工作产生了142个新的活动星系核与$γ$射线源的关联,为7个天体提供了替代关联,并将另外144个已知关联的位置提高到毫角秒的精度水平。此外,对于245个不相关的$γ$射线源,我们没有发现一个单一的紧凑的无线电源超过2毫焦耳在3 $σ$的$γ$射线定位。这些空场中有相当一部分,39%,位于远离银道面的地方。我们还发现了36个扩展的射电源,是与相应的$γ$射线对象的候选人,其中19个最有可能是超新星遗迹或HII区,而17个可能是射电星系。

英文摘要:

The third Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) $γ$-ray source catalog (3FGL) contains over 1000 objects for which there is no known counterpart at other wavelengths. The physical origin of the $γ$-ray emission of those objects is unknown. Such objects are commonly referred to as unassociated and mostly do not exhibit significant $γ$-ray flux variability. We performed a survey of all unassociated $γ$-ray sources found in 3FGL using the Australia Telescope Compact Array and Very Large Array in the range of 4.0-10.0 GHz. We found 2097 radio candidates for association with $γ$-ray sources. The follow-up with very long baseline interferometry for a subset of those candidates yielded 142 new AGN associations with $γ$-ray sources, provided alternative associations for 7 objects, and improved positions for another 144 known associations to the milliarcsecond level of accuracy. In addition, for 245 unassociated $γ$-ray sources we did not find a single compact radio source above 2 mJy within 3$σ$ of their $γ$-ray localization. A significant fraction of these empty fields, 39%, are located away from the galactic plane. We also found 36 extended radio sources that are candidates for association with a corresponding $γ$-ray object, 19 of which are most likely supernova remnants or HII regions, whereas 17 could be radio galaxies.
