通过Fermi-LAT和Swift协同优化多波长Blazar研究

Optimizing Multi-Wavelength Blazar Studies through Fermi-LAT and Swift Synergy

Christina D. Moraitis, D. J. Thompson

摘要:

由费米伽马射线太空望远镜大面积望远镜(Fermi LAT)观测到的耀变体耀斑经常会被机会目标(ToO)向尼尔·盖瑞尔斯·斯威夫特天文台(Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory)提出请求。利用费米LAT观测源每日光变曲线中发现的耀斑,我们调查了哪些后续Swift ToO请求导致了参考出版物。我们的目标是创建斯威夫特在跟踪费米-LAT伽马射线耀斑时应该寻找的标准。测试的参数是峰值伽马射线通量,耀斑持续时间(基于贝叶斯块分析),活动星系核的类型(BL Lac或FSRQ),和活动模式(单一耀斑或广泛的活动)。我们发现,历史上活跃的源和高光子通量源导致更多的出版物,认为这些成功的斯威夫特ToO,而耀斑持续时间和活动星系核的类型对ToO是否导致出版物几乎没有影响。

英文摘要:

Blazar flares seen by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope Large Area Telescope (Fermi LAT) are often followed up by Target of Opportunity (ToO) requests to the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory (Swift). Using flares identified in the daily light curves of Fermi LAT Monitored Sources, we investigated which follow-up Swift ToO requests resulted in refereed publications. The goal was to create criteria of what Swift should look for in following up a Fermi-LAT gamma-ray flare. Parameters tested were peak gamma-ray flux, flare duration (based on a Bayesian Block analysis), type of AGN (BL Lac or FSRQ), and pattern of activity (single flare or extensive activity). We found that historically active sources and high-photon-flux sources result in more publications, deeming these successful Swift ToOs, while flare duration and type of AGN had little or no impact on whether or not a ToO led to a publication.
