对局部宇宙低频选择射电星系样本的$γ$射线发射的搜寻

A search for $γ$-ray emission from a sample of local universe low-frequency selected radio galaxies

Max Harvey, Cameron B. Rulten, Paula M. Chadwick

摘要:

射电星系是不常见的$γ$射线发射体,只有低红移的射电星系被费米LAT探测到。然而,它们提供了对活跃星系发射机制的潜在见解,特别是因为它们的喷流相对于地球的排列意味着,与耀变体不同,它们的发射不一定是喷流主导的。为了寻找新的$γ$射线发射射电星系,我们使用费米LAT数据对博洛尼亚完整样品中的78个射电星系进行了无偏的调查。我们观察到统计上显着的$γ$射线发射从4个已知的费米-LAT检测到的射电星系包括在这个样本中,并找到一些证据$γ$射线发射空间一致的4个以前未检测到的射电星系。当搜索一个大的参数空间时,我们计算一个概率分布来计算别处寻找效应。我们发现,这4个空间上一致的阈下$γ$射线过剩很可能是一个偶然的关联,而不太可能是来自射电星系的发射。对没有观测到$γ$射线辐射的射电星系计算了通量的上限。

英文摘要:

Radio galaxies are uncommon $γ$-ray emitters, and only low redshift radio galaxies are detected with Fermi-LAT. However, they offer potential insights into the emission mechanisms of active galaxies, particularly as the alignment of their jets with respect to the Earth means that, unlike blazars, their emission is not necessarily jet-dominated. We use Fermi-LAT data to perform an unbiased survey of 78 radio galaxies from the Bologna Complete Sample in order to search for new $γ$-ray-emitting radio galaxies. We observe statistically significant $γ$-ray emission from 4 of the 6 known Fermi-LAT detected radio galaxies included in this sample, and find some evidence for $γ$-ray emission spatially coincident with 4 previously undetected radio galaxies. As a large parameter space is searched, we calculate a probability distribution to compute the look-elsewhere effect. We find that these 4 spatially coincident sub-threshold $γ$-ray excesses are most likely a chance association, and are unlikely to be emission from the radio galaxies. Upper limits on flux are calculated for the radio galaxies from which no $γ$-ray emission is observed.
