摘要:

类星体3C 454.3是一颗耀变体,以其在电磁波谱中快速而猛烈的爆发而闻名。使用伽马射线,X射线,多波段光学和非常长的基线干涉测量数据,我们调查了2013年和2014年发生的两个这样的事件的性质,伴随着光学偏振的强烈变化,包括230度电矢量位置角(EVPA)旋转。我们的研究结果表明,一个单一的干扰是负责两个耀斑事件。我们将扰动解释为沿喷流传播的激波。根据这种解释,2013年耀斑的起源很可能是由于射电核心上游激波的弯曲或螺旋轨迹引起的视角变化。2014年耀斑和光学偏振行为是激波离开43 GHz无线电核心的结果,表明激波交叉是EVPA旋转的可能机制之一。

英文摘要:

The quasar 3C 454.3 is a blazar known for its rapid and violent outbursts seen across the electromagnetic spectrum. Using gamma-ray, X-ray, multi-band optical, and very long baseline interferometric data we investigate the nature of two such events that occurred in 2013 and 2014 accompanied by strong variations in optical polarization, including a 230 degree electric vector position angle (EVPA) rotation. Our results suggest that a single disturbance was responsible for both flaring events. We interpret the disturbance as a shock propagating down the jet. Under this interpretation the 2013-flare originated most likely due to changes in the viewing angle caused by perhaps a bent or helical trajectory of the shock upstream of the radio core. The 2014-flare and optical polarization behavior are the result of the shock exiting the 43 GHz radio core, suggesting that shock crossings are one of the possible mechanisms for EVPA rotations.
