摘要:

利用加权小波Z变换(WWZ)和Lomb-Scargle周期图(LSP)技术,对2008年1月9日至2019年5月9日期间欧文斯谷射电天文台(OVRO)40 m望远镜观测到的FSRQ PKS J 0805 -0111的15 GHz光变曲线进行了准周期振荡(QPO)研究.这是首次用这两种方法在FSRQ PKS J 0805 -0111中搜索周期性无线电信号。所有两种方法一致地显示重复信号,周期为3.38 $\pm$ 0.8年($>$ 99.7\%置信水平)。为了确定周期的重要性,采用了虚警概率方法,并进行了大量的蒙特卡罗模拟。作为可能的解释,我们讨论了薄盘热不稳定性、螺旋喷流和双超大质量黑洞等几种情况,我们认为双黑洞情况是最可能的解释,其中双黑洞的进动导致QPO。因此FSRQ PKS J 0805 -0111可能是一个很好的双黑洞候选者。在双星黑洞的情况下,主黑洞和次黑洞之间的距离约为$1.71\times 10^{16}$ cm。

英文摘要:

In this work, we have searched quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the 15 GHz light curve of the FSRQ PKS J0805-0111 monitored by the Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) 40 m telescope during the period from January 9,2008 to May 9,2019, using the weighted wavelet Z-transform (WWZ) and the Lomb-Scargle Periodogram (LSP) techniques. This is the first time to search for periodic radio signal in the FSRQ PKS J0805-0111 by these two methods. All two methods consistently reveal a repeating signal with a periodicity of 3.38$\pm$ 0.8 years ($>$99.7\% confidence level). In order to determining the significance of the periods, the false alarm probability method was used, and a large number of Monte Carlo simulations were performed. As possible explanations, we discuss a number of scenarios including the thermal instability of thin disks scenario, the spiral jet scenario and the binary supermassive black hole scenario, we expected that the binary black hole scenario, where the QPO is caused by the precession of the binary black holes, is the most likely explanation. FSRQ PKS J0805-0111 thus could be a good binary black hole candidate. In the binary black hole scenario, the distance between the primary black hole and the secondary black hole is about $1.71\times 10^{16}$ cm.
