Turbulence能控制光学Blazar的退偏振吗?

Can Turbulence Dominate Depolarization of Optical Blazars?

Xiaotong Guo, Jirong Mao, Jiancheng Wang

摘要:

利用Mead等人的样品,我们仔细研究了耀变体在光学和近红外波段的退偏振特性。当我们应用Lazarian和Pogosyan的理论分析时,磁流体动力学(MHD)湍流可能是光学/红外耀变体退偏振的一个可能原因。我们进一步确定,在大多数blazar的退偏振结果大致服从的三维各向异性Kolmogorov标度的形式。有效法拉第旋转窗口长度尺度不足以分辨blazar样品中的偏振相关长度尺度。在不同的耀变体源中,去偏振和相关的湍流特征表现出不同的特征。我们建议在光学/红外和高能波段进行更多的同步观测,以研究耀变体的偏振。

英文摘要:

We carefully examine the depolarization feature of blazars in the optical and near-infrared bands using the sample of Mead et al. Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) turbulence could be one possible reason for the depolarization of optical/infrared blazars when we apply the theoretical analysis of Lazarian and Pogosyan. We further identify in the sample that the depolarization results shown in most blazars roughly obey the form of the three-dimensional anisotropic Kolmogorov scaling. The effective Faraday rotation window length scale is not small enough to resolve the polarization correlation length scale in the blazar sample. The depolarization and the related turbulent features show diversities in different blazar sources. We suggest more simultaneous observations in both the optical/infrared and the high-energy bands for the study of the blazar polarization.
