摘要:

活动星系核光谱的多波长分析为研究吸积盘和黑洞喷流的物理过程提供了有用的信息。然而,这仅限于明亮的光源,可能不代表整个人口。另一种方法是通过研究光度函数(LF)的宇宙学演化,它在不同的波长下显示出不同的演化(光度和密度)。这些差异和光度之间的相关性可以揭示喷流-吸积盘之间的联系。大多数这样的研究使用前向拟合参数方法,涉及几个函数和许多参数。我们使用非参数,非分箱方法开发的埃夫隆和Petrosian,林登-贝尔,获得无偏描述的LF的演变,从数据截断观测选择效应。本文分析了耀变体的γ射线低频演化,重点讨论了平谱射电类星体的γ射线低频演化。这就需要对红移测量所必需的伽马射线和光学数据进行分析,并对联合低频进行描述。我们使用一种新的方法,将样本分为两个子样本,每个子样本都有自己的通量限制。我们使用费米-LAT和GAIA的观测结果,并提出了γ射线LF及其演变的结果,并确定γ射线和光学光度之间的内在相关性校正为众所周知的假相关引起的类似的红移依赖性和演变的两个光度。我们还提出了一个直接估计的贡献耀变体的河外伽玛射线背景的光谱。

英文摘要:

Multi-wavelength analyses of spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) provide useful information on the physical processes in the accretion disk and jets of black holes. This, however, is limited to bright sources and may not represent the population as a whole. Another approach is through the investigation of the cosmological evolution of the luminosity function (LF) that shows varied evolution (luminosity and density) at different wavelengths. These differences and the correlations between luminosities can shed light on the Jet-accretion disk connection. Most such studies use forward fitting parametric methods that involve several functions and many parameters. We use non-parametric, non-binning methods developed by Efron and Petrosian, and Lynden-Bell, for obtaining unbiased description of the evolution of the LF, from data truncated by observational selection effects. We present analysis of the evolution of gamma-ray LF of blazars with main focus on flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs). This requires analysis of both gamma-ray and optical data, essential for redshift measurements, and a description of the joint LF. We use a new approach which divides the sample into two sub-samples, each with its own flux limit. We use the Fermi-LAT and GAIA observations, and present results on the gamma-ray LF and its evolution, and determine the intrinsic correlation between the gamma-ray and optical luminosities corrected for the well known false correlation induced by their similar redshift dependence and evolution of the two luminosities. We also present a direct estimation of the contribution of blazars to the spectrum of the extragalactic gamma-ray background.
