摘要:

我们利用\emph{Fermi} -LAT和\emph{Swift} -XRT/UVOT对耀变体(\mbox{PKS\,0903-57})在其最亮的爆发期MJD 1,58931 - 58970进行了详细的光谱和时间研究。在此期间,观测到$\rm9.42\times10^{-6}\,ph\,cm^{-2}\,s^{-1}$的最大日平均$γ$射线通量($\rm F_{0.1-500\,GeV}$)出现在MJD 1,58951.5,这是迄今为止观测到的\mbox{PKS\,0903-57}的最高$γ$射线通量。探测到了几个高能量($>\,10$ \,GeV)光子,它们与源位置的一致性很高(> 1,99\%),激活态的$γ$光变曲线显示出多个具有非对称轮廓的亚结构.为了了解导致通量增强的可能物理机制,我们选取活跃期不同的通量状态对\mbox{PKS\,0903-57}进行了详细的宽带光谱研究。忽略在每个选定的时间间隔的多波段的变化,我们可以重现他们的平均宽带SED与单区轻子模型,其参数是由$χ^2$拟合。我们发现,在不同的通量状态下的宽带SED可以再现同步,同步自康普顿(SSC)和外部康普顿(EC)过程。来自BLR或IR环面的EC过程的种子光子在所有通量状态下提供了与GeV谱的可接受拟合;然而,HE光子的检测以及均分条件表明EC/IR过程是更可能的情况。进一步比较了拟合参数,发现从静止态到耀斑态的通量增强主要与发射区体洛伦兹因子的增加和源谱折点能量的变化有关.

英文摘要:

We carried a detailed spectral and temporal study of blazar, \mbox{PKS\,0903-57} using the \emph{Fermi}-LAT and \emph{Swift}-XRT/UVOT observations, during its brightest flaring period MJD\,58931--58970. During this period, the maximum daily averaged $γ$-ray flux ($\rm F_{0.1-500\,GeV}$) of $\rm9.42\times10^{-6}\,ph\,cm^{-2}\,s^{-1}$ is observed on MJD\,58951.5, the highest $γ$-ray flux detected from \mbox{PKS\,0903-57} till now. Several high-energy (HE) photons ($>\,10$\,GeV) consistent with the source location at high probability (>\,99\%) are detected, and the $γ$-ray lightcurve in the active state shows multiple substructures with asymmetric profile. In order to understand the possible physical scenario responsible for the flux enhancement, we carried a detailed broadband spectral study of \mbox{PKS\,0903-57} by choosing different flux states from its active period. Neglecting the multi-band variability in each of the selected time intervals, we could reproduce their averaged broadband SEDs with a one-zone leptonic model whose parameters were derived with a $χ^2$-fit. We found that the broadband SED during different flux states can be reproduced by the synchrotron, synchrotron-self-Compton (SSC) and External-Compton (EC) processes. The seed photons for EC process from BLR or IR torus provide acceptable fits to the GeV spectrum in all the flux states; however, the detection of HE photons together with the equipartition condition suggest that the EC/IR process is a more likely scenario. Further, a detailed comparison between the fit parameters shows that the flux enhancement from quiescent-state to the flaring-state is mostly related to increase in the bulk Lorentz factor of the emission region and change in the break energy of the source spectrum.
