摘要:

我们已经进行了详细的分析的X射线光谱的blazar Mkn 421使用Swift-XRT观测之间的2005年和2020年,量化的光谱参数之间的相关性为不同的模型。在较早的工作中,它已经表明,这种光谱参数的相关性,从一个单一的短耀斑的持续时间$\sim$ 5天的Mkn 421,可以用来区分光谱退化模型,并提供估计的物理量。在这项工作中,我们表明,从长期的光谱参数相关的结果是一致的,从单一的耀斑。特别是,所观察到的光谱曲率是由于粒子分布中的最大截止能量被排除。相反,模型的曲率是由于逃逸或加速时间尺度的粒子的能量依赖性的青睐。这些模型的物理参数的估计值是类似的单耀斑分析得到的,是有点不符合模型的物理假设,这表明更复杂的物理模型是必需的。从源的长期和短期演变中获得的结果的一致性,强调了使用光谱参数相关性来区分物理模型的技术的可靠性。

英文摘要:

We have performed a detailed analysis of the X-ray spectra of the blazar Mkn 421 using Swift-XRT observations taken between 2005 and 2020, to quantify the correlations between spectral parameters for different models. In an earlier work, it has been shown that such spectral parameter correlations obtained from a single short flare of duration $\sim$ 5-days of Mkn 421, can be used to distinguish spectrally degenerate models and provide estimates of physical quantities. In this work, we show that the results from the long-term spectral parameter correlations are consistent with those obtained from the single flare. In particular, that the observed spectral curvature is due to maximum cutoff energy in the particle distribution is ruled out. Instead, models where the curvature is due to the energy dependence of escape or acceleration time-scale of the particles are favored. The estimated values of the physical parameters for these models are similar to the ones obtained from the single flare analysis and are somewhat incompatible with the physical assumption of the models, suggesting that more complex physical models are required. The consistency of the results obtained from the long and short-term evolution of the source, underlines the reliability of the technique to use spectral parameter correlations to distinguish physical models.
