摘要:

活动星系核中产生$γ$射线辐射快速变率的机制仍在争论之中。MAGIC望远镜在2015年6月15日从BL Lacertae探测到一个快速的非常高能量(VHE,E $>100$ GeV)$γ$射线耀斑。耀斑的最大通量为$(1.5\pm 0.3)\times 10^{-10}$光子cm $^{-2}$ s $^{-1}$,减半时间为$26\pm8$分钟。MAGIC观测是由光学和高能(HE,E $>100$ MeV)$γ$射线带中的高态触发的。在本文中,我们介绍了MAGIC VHE $γ$射线数据以及2015年5月1日至7月31日期间来自无线电,光学,X射线和HE $γ$射线的多波长数据。良好的采样多波长数据使我们能够详细研究的变化,并比较它的其他时代时,快速VHE $γ$ -射线耀斑已被检测到从这个来源。有趣的是,我们发现,在无线电,光学,X射线和HE $γ$ -射线的行为是非常相似的其他两个观察到的VHE $γ$ -射线耀斑。特别是,在这次耀斑期间,还显示出光学偏振角的旋转和43 GHz核心处的活动。这些重复的模式表明这三个事件之间的联系。我们还测试建模的光谱能量分布,从光变曲线和VLBA观测的约束的基础上,两个不同的几何设置的两个区域逆康普顿模型。此外,我们模拟的$γ$射线数据与恒星喷流相互作用模型。我们发现,所有测试的排放模型是兼容的快速VHE $γ$射线耀斑,但都有一些张力与多波长的观测。

英文摘要:

The mechanisms producing fast variability of the $γ$-ray emission in active galactic nuclei are under debate. The MAGIC telescopes detected a fast very high energy (VHE, E$>100$ GeV) $γ$-ray flare from BL Lacertae on 2015 June 15. The flare had a maximum flux of $(1.5\pm 0.3)\times 10^{-10}$ photons cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ and halving time of $26\pm8$ minutes. The MAGIC observations were triggered by a high state in the optical and high energy (HE, E$>100$ MeV) $γ$-ray bands. In this paper we present the MAGIC VHE $γ$-ray data together with multiwavelength data from radio, optical, X-rays, and HE $γ$ rays from 2015 May 1 to July 31. Well-sampled multiwavelength data allow us to study the variability in detail and compare it to the other epochs when fast VHE $γ$-ray flares have been detected from this source. Interestingly, we find that the behaviour in radio, optical, X-rays and HE $γ$-rays is very similar to two other observed VHE $γ$-ray flares. In particular, also during this flare there was an indication of rotation of the optical polarization angle and of activity at the 43\,GHz core. These repeating patterns indicate a connection between the three events. We also test modelling of the spectral energy distribution, based on constraints from the light curves and VLBA observations, with two different geometrical setups of two-zone inverse Compton models. In addition we model the $γ$-ray data with the star-jet interaction model. We find that all of the tested emission models are compatible with the fast VHE $γ$-ray flare, but all have some tension with the multiwavelength observations.
