摘要:

我们报告的鉴定耀变体候选人背后的麦哲伦云。这些天体是从麦哲伦类星体巡天(MQS)中选出的,该巡天的目标是整个大麦云云(LMC)和70%的小麦哲伦云(SMC)。在758个MQS类星体和898个未识别的(无特征光谱)天体中,我们确定了44个耀变体候选者的样本,分别包括27个平谱射电类星体和17个BL Lacertae天体。我们的样本中的所有blazar候选者都根据其无线电,光学和中红外特性进行了鉴定。新选定的耀变体候选者拥有来自光学引力透镜实验的长期多色光度数据、多色中红外观测和至少一个频率的档案无线电数据。此外,其中9个卫星还提供了无线电极化数据。有了这样的数据,这些对象可以用来研究在光学和中红外波段检测到的耀变体背后的物理学,作为一种工具,以调查磁场的几何形状的LMC和SMC,并作为一个示范性的样本点样源最有可能在$γ$射线范围内检测到的新出现的切伦科夫望远镜阵列。

英文摘要:

We report the identification of blazar candidates behind the Magellanic Clouds. The objects were selected from the Magellanic Quasars Survey (MQS), which targeted the entire Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and 70\% of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Among the 758 MQS quasars and 898 of unidentified (featureless spectra) objects, we identified a sample of 44 blazar candidates, including 27 flat spectrum radio quasars and 17 BL Lacertae objects, respectively. All the blazar candidates from our sample were identified with respect to their radio, optical, and mid-infrared properties. The newly selected blazar candidates possess the long-term, multi-colour photometric data from the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment, multi-colour mid-infrared observations, and archival radio data for one frequency at least. In addition, for nine of them the radio polarization data are available. With such data, these objects can be used to study the physics behind the blazar variability detected in the optical and mid-infrared bands, as a tool to investigate magnetic field geometry of the LMC and SMC, and as an exemplary sample of point like sources most likely detectable in $γ$-ray range with the newly emerging Cherenkov Telescope Array.
