摘要:

利用$Swift$ -XRT、$RXTE$ PCA、$Fermi$ -LAT、SMARTS和文献资料,对blazar 3C 279的长期光学、X射线和$γ$射线数据进行了整理。源在长时间尺度上表现出很强的变异性。从80年代至今,光学$R$波段光变曲线跨度超过32年,其中发现了一个可能长达5.6年的准周期变化成分。在光学波段,平均光谱指数为-1.71。该光源具有明显的特殊光谱特性。在低状态下,光源在亮度增加时光谱变得更硬(更平坦)的意义上显示出明显的越亮越蓝的行为。在高态时,光谱是稳定的,即光源光谱指数不随亮度变化。对光学、X射线和$γ$射线能带之间的相关性进行了分析。结果表明,在日尺度上,$γ$射线和X射线波段的变化具有良好的相关性,无时间延迟,而与光学波段的变化相关性较弱。变化,特别是爆发,是同时发生的,但变化的幅度是不成比例的。详细的分析表明,主爆发在不同的$γ$射线,X射线和光学波段表现出很强的相关性。

英文摘要:

The long-term optical, X-ray and $γ$-ray data of blazar 3C 279 have been compiled from $Swift$-XRT, $RXTE$ PCA, $Fermi$-LAT, SMARTS and literature. The source exhibits strong variability on long time scales. Since 1980s to now, the optical $R$ band light curve spans above 32 yr, and a possible 5.6-yr-long quasi-periodic variation component has been found in it. The optical spectral behavior has been investigated. In the optical band, the mean spectral index is -1.71. The source exhibits an obvious special spectral behavior. In the low state, the source shows a clear bluer-when-brighter behavior in a sense that the optical spectrum turns harder (flatter) when the brightness increases. While in the high state, the optical spectrum is stable, that means the source spectral index does not vary with the brightness. The correlation analysis has been performed among optical, X-ray and $γ$-ray energy bands. The result indicates that the variations of $γ$-ray and X-ray bands are well correlated without time delay on the time scale of days, and their variations exhibit weak correlations with those of optical band. The variations, especial outbursts, are simultaneous, but the magnitude of variations is disproportionate. The detailed analysis reveals that the main outbursts exhibit strong correlations in different $γ$-ray, X-ray and optical bands.
