在与BL Lac天体1 ES 2322-409兼容的位置处的热点偶然地用H.E.S.S.在2004年和2006年对blazar PKS 2316-423进行的观测中,在2011年和2012年获得了1 ES 2322-409的额外数据,导致总生存时间为22.3小时。从1 ES 2322-409位置的中心源检测到点状甚高能量(VHE; E> 100 GeV)$γ$射线发射,在6.0 $σ$的显著性下有116.7个事件。VHE的平均$γ$射线谱可以用幂次定律很好地描述,光子指数为$Γ=3.40\pm0.66_{\text{stat}}\pm0.20_{\text{sys}}$,积分通量为$Φ(E>200GeV) = (3.11\pm0.71_{\rm stat}\pm0.62_{\rm sys})\times10^{-12} cm^{-2} s^{-1}$,相当于蟹状星云通量在200 GeV以上的1.1 $\%$。Fermi LAT,Swift XRT和UVOT,RXTE PCA,ATOM获得的多波长数据,以及WISE,GROND和Catalina的额外数据,也被用来测量1 ES 2322-409的宽带非热发射。多波长的行为表明日尺度的变化。Swift UVOT和XRT数据在较长尺度上显示出很强的变异性。一个光谱能量分布(SED)是建立从周围的高状态确定的雨燕数据获得的同期观测。一个建模的SED进行与一个固定的均匀的单区同步自康普顿(SSC)轻子模型。源的红移是未知的,两个合理的值进行了测试的建模。系统扫描的模型参数空间进行,导致在一个良好的约束组合的值提供了一个很好的描述1 ES 2322-409的宽带行为。
英文摘要:
A hotspot at a position compatible with the BL Lac object 1ES 2322-409 was serendipitously detected with H.E.S.S. during observations performed in 2004 and 2006 on the blazar PKS 2316-423. Additional data on 1ES 2322-409 were taken in 2011 and 2012, leading to a total live-time of 22.3h. Point-like very-high-energy (VHE; E>100GeV) $γ$-ray emission is detected from a source centred on the 1ES 2322-409 position, with an excess of 116.7 events at a significance of 6.0$σ$. The average VHE $γ$-ray spectrum is well described with a power law with a photon index $Γ=3.40\pm0.66_{\text{stat}}\pm0.20_{\text{sys}}$ and an integral flux $Φ(E>200GeV) = (3.11\pm0.71_{\rm stat}\pm0.62_{\rm sys})\times10^{-12} cm^{-2} s^{-1}$, which corresponds to 1.1$\%$ of the Crab nebula flux above 200 GeV. Multi-wavelength data obtained with Fermi LAT, Swift XRT and UVOT, RXTE PCA, ATOM, and additional data from WISE, GROND and Catalina, are also used to characterise the broad-band non-thermal emission of 1ES 2322-409. The multi-wavelength behaviour indicates day-scale variability. Swift UVOT and XRT data show strong variability at longer scales. A spectral energy distribution (SED) is built from contemporaneous observations obtained around a high state identified in Swift data. A modelling of the SED is performed with a stationary homogeneous one-zone synchrotron-self-Compton (SSC) leptonic model. The redshift of the source being unknown, two plausible values were tested for the modelling. A systematic scan of the model parameters space is performed, resulting in a well-constrained combination of values providing a good description of the broad-band behaviour of 1ES 2322-409.

VERITAS Observations of 1ES 1218+304 during the 2019 VHE High State
1 ES 1218+304是一个中等红移(z = 0.182)的高频率峰BL Lac天体(HBL)。1 ES 1218+304被MAGIC和VERITAS伽马射线天文台探测到,作为其长期blazar监测计划的一部分,VERITAS经常对其进行监测。在2019年1月3日,在定期安排的blazar快照期间,VERITAS观察到1 ES 1218+304具有持续到1月5日的VHE通量状态升高(ATEL #12360)。除了VERITAS观测外,MAGIC还检测到VHE发射(ATEL#12354)升高,Swift-BAT/XRT和Tuorla分别在X射线和光学方面的观测表明,VERITAS观测时多波长活动增加。在这项工作中,VERITAS的意见1 ES 1218+304作为一个目标的机会运动的一部分,在这个升高的状态,提出。
