摘要:

利用乌鲁木齐25米射电望远镜对20多个射电强活动星系核进行了观测,以寻找日内变率。目标源是耀变体(即平谱射电类星体和BL Lac天体),它们大多选自射电天文活动星系核监测活动的观测清单。分别于2014年2月8日至12日和3月7日至9日在4.8 GHz进行了两次观测。我们报告的数据减少和观察的第一个结果。结果表明,绝大多数blazar星在99.9%的置信水平上具有IDV,其中一些具有很强的IDV。首次发现了blazar 1357 + 769的强IDV。厘米波段的IDV被认为主要是由耀变体辐射通过离太阳几百秒差距的本地星际介质的闪烁引起的。在我们的样本中没有发现IDV强度与红移或银河系纬度之间的显着相关性。IDV时间尺度以及源结构和亮度温度分析将在即将发表的论文中介绍。

英文摘要:

Two dozens of radio loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have been observed with Urumqi 25 m radio telescope in order to search for intra-day variability (IDV). The target sources are blazars (namely flat spectrum radio quasars and BL Lac objects) which are mostly selected from the observing list of RadioAstron AGN monitoring campaigns. The observations were carried out at 4.8 GHz in two sessions of 8-12 February 2014 and 7-9 March respectively. We report the data reduction and the first results of observations. The results show that the majority of the blazars exhibit IDV in 99.9% confidence level, some of them show quite strong IDV. We find the strong IDV of blazar 1357 + 769 for the first time. The IDV at centimeter-wavelength is believed to be predominately caused by the scintillation of blazar emission through the local interstellar medium in a few hundreds parsecs away from Sun. No significant correlation between the IDV strength and either redshift or Galactic latitude is found in our sample. The IDV timescale along with source structure and brightness temperature analysis will be presented in a forthcoming paper.
