摘要:

PKS 1413+135是一个紧凑的对称天体(CSO),在其微型射电形态中具有双面pc尺度结构,与4FGL J1416.1+1320空间相关,最近被MAGIC望远镜发现。综合分析了它的X射线和GeV γ射线观测数据,揭示了它的高能辐射物理。发现该源在MJD 58500之前处于低通量阶段,在MJD 58500之后经历了GeV波段的剧烈爆发。在10 GeV处的通量变化约为3个数量级,GeV通量的变化伴随着明显的光谱变化,在低通量状态下表现为软对数抛物线谱,在亮耀斑中表现为硬幂律谱。X射线的变化幅度低于γ射线的变化幅度,未观察到γ射线和X射线之间的变化相关性。用多带轻子模型拟合了GeV爆发时的宽谱能量分布,结果表明GeV γ射线是由外部康普顿过程产生的,而X射线是由几个分量混合而成的。预测的TeV伽马射线通量在GeV爆发与MAGIC望远镜的检测是一致的。结合CSO的射电形态特征,这些结果表明PKS 1413+135具有幕式的核喷流活动。MJD 58500之前的弱伽马射线发射可能来自其由先前活动提供动力的次pc/pc尺度喷流分量,而MJD 58500之后具有短时间尺度变化的剧烈爆发可能归因于最近重新启动的喷流活动。

英文摘要:

PKS 1413+135, a compact symmetric object (CSO) with a two-side pc-scale structure in its miniature radio morphology, is spatially associated with 4FGL J1416.1+1320 and recently detected with MAGIC telescopes. We comprehensively analyze its X-ray and GeV gamma-ray observation data for revealing its high energy radiation physics. It is found that the source is in a low-flux stage before MJD 58500 and experiences violent outbursts after MJD 58500 in the GeV band. The flux at 10 GeV varies ~3 orders of magnitude, and the GeV-flux variation is accompanied by the clear spectral variation, which is characterized as a soft log-parabola spectrum in the low-flux state and a hard power-law spectrum in the bright flares. The variability amplitude of X-rays is lower than that of gamma-rays, and no correlation of variability between gamma-rays and X-rays is observed. Fitting the broadband spectral energy distribution during a GeV outburst with a multi-zone leptonic model, we show that the GeV gamma-rays are attributed to the external Compton process while the X-rays are hybrid of several components. The predicted TeV gamma-ray flux during the GeV outburst is consistent with the detection of MAGIC telescopes. These results, together with its CSO radio morphology, imply that PKS 1413+135 has the episodic nuclear jet activities. The weak gamma-ray emission before MJD 58500 may be from its sub-pc-/pc-scale jet component powered by previous activities, and the violent outbursts with short-timescale variability after MJD 58500 could be attributed to the recently restarted jet activity.
