摘要:

由质量超过$10^9\:M_\odot$的超大质量黑洞提供动力的高红量耀变体具有最高的喷流功率和亮度,是检验宇宙早期相对论喷流物理的重要探测器。本文通过对Fermi-LAT、NuSTAR Swift XRT和UVOT观测数据的分析,对高红移blazar PKS 0537-286进行了多频光谱和时间分析。虽然源的时间平均$γ$射线谱相对较软(表明高能发射峰低于GeV范围),但当光谱硬化且亮度增加到$10^{49}\:{\rm erg\:s^{-1}}$以上时,观察到几个突出的耀斑。该源的X射线发射在不同的观测中有所不同,其特征在于具有亮度为$>10^{47}\:{\rm erg\:s^{-1}}$的硬光谱$\leq1.38$。在静止和耀斑期间的宽带光谱能量分布建模内的一个区域轻子的情况下,假设不同的位置的发射区域,并考虑内部(同步辐射)和外部(从磁盘,宽线区域和尘埃环)的逆康普顿散射的光子场。模拟结果表明,从能量需求的角度来看,最乐观的情况是当射流能量耗散发生在宽线区域内。静止期和燃烧期获得的模型参数的比较表明,燃烧活动最有可能是由硬化的发射电子光谱指数和转移的截止能量到更高的值。

英文摘要:

The high redhsift blazars powered by supermassive black holes with masses exceeding $10^9\:M_\odot$ have the highest jet power and luminosity and are important probes to test the physics of relativistic jets at the early epochs of the Universe. We present a multi-frequency spectral and temporal study of high redshift blazar PKS 0537-286 by analyzing data from Fermi-LAT, NuSTAR Swift XRT and UVOT. Although the time averaged $γ$-ray spectrum of the source is relatively soft (indicating the high-energy emission peak is below the GeV range), several prominent flares were observed when the spectrum hardened and the luminosity increased above $10^{49}\:{\rm erg\:s^{-1}}$. The X-ray emission of the source varies in different observations and is characterised by a hard spectrum $\leq1.38$ with a luminosity of $>10^{47}\:{\rm erg\:s^{-1}}$. The broadband spectral energy distribution in the quiescent and flaring periods was modeled within a one-zone leptonic scenario assuming different locations of the emission region and considering both internal (synchrotron radiation) and external (from the disk, broad-line region and dusty torus) photon fields for the inverse Compton scattering. The modeling shows that the most optimistic scenario, from the energy requirement point of view, is when the jet energy dissipation occurs within the broad-line region. The comparison of the model parameters obtained for the quiescent and flaring periods suggests that the flaring activities are most likely caused by the hardening of the emitting electron spectral index and shifting of the cut-off energy to higher values.
