H.E.S.S.的本征光谱。耀变体:如果没有EBL吸收,我们会看到什么?

Intrinsic spectra of H.E.S.S. blazars : what would we see without EBL absorption

C. Romoli, D. A. Sanchez, M. Lorentz, P. Brun

摘要:

在甚高能区(E> 100 GeV)发现的河外源绝大多数是位于宇宙学距离上的活动星系核(AGN)。在它们向地球行进的过程中,发射的伽马射线会被河外背景光(EBL)吸收。EBL的密度并不很好地受到直接或间接测量的约束,这导致了源的本征谱的不确定性。高能体视系统(H.E.S.S.)获得的活动星系核高质量光谱已经被用来执行EBL光谱能量分布的模型无关的测量。虽然这种测量的精度仍然有限,但它反映了H.E.S.S.的灵敏度。单独的EBL,并提供了一个一致的方式访问活动星系核的本征谱的可能性,考虑到派生的EBL光谱能量分布的不确定性。在这篇文章中,我们研究了H.E.S.S.以及H.E.S.S.的几个耀变体的费米大面积望远镜(LAT)。天空这提供了一个机会,有新的洞察力的排放过程中发挥喷流的活动星系核。所提供的观测数据包括Blazar静止状态的观测数据,也包括H.E.S. S观测到的明亮的Blazar耀斑,如PKS~2155-304、Mrk~421等。

英文摘要:

The vast majority of extragalactic sources detected in the very high energy (E> 100 GeV) domaine are active galactic nuclei (AGN) located at cosmological distances. During their travel towards Earth, the emitted gamma-rays suffer from absorption by the extragalactic background light (EBL). The density of the EBL is not very well constrained by direct or indirect measurement which leads to uncertainties on the intrinsic spectrum of the sources. High-quality AGN spectra obtained with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) have been used to perform a model-independent measurement of the EBL spectral energy distribution. While the precision of this measurement remains limited, it reflects the sensitivity of H.E.S.S. alone to the EBL and offers the possibility to access the intrinsic spectra of AGNs in a consistent manner, taking into account the derived uncertainties on the EBL spectral energy distribution. In this contribution, we study the intrinsic spectra as measured by H.E.S.S. and by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) of several blazars of the H.E.S.S. sky. This provides the opportunity to have new insight into the emission processes at play in the jets of AGN. The data presented consist of monitoring data of quiescent state of blazars and also bright blazar flares, such as PKS~2155-304, Mrk~421, recorded by H.E.S.S.
