摘要:

在活动星系核可变性的多波长研究中包括毫米波数据可以提供对活动星系核物理学的深入了解,这在其他波长是不容易获得的。在这项工作中,我们证明了宇宙微波背景(CMB)望远镜的潜力,提供长期的,高节奏的毫米波AGN监测的大部分天空。我们报告的试点研究使用的数据从SPTpol仪器的南极望远镜(SPT),这是为了观察CMB在弧分和更大的角度尺度。在2013年至2016年期间,SPTpol主要用于观察单个500 deg^2场,每天多次覆盖整个场,探测器对中心频率为95和150 GHz的辐射敏感。我们使用SPT 150 GHz的观测创建活动星系核的光变曲线,我们比较这些毫米波的光变曲线在其他波长,特别是伽马射线和光学。在这封信中,我们关注的是一个单一的源,PKS 2326 - 502,它在2013年至2016年期间在伽马射线,光学和现在的毫米波方面拥有广泛的日时间尺度监测数据。我们发现PKS 2326 - 502是在一个耀斑状态在头两年的监测,我们提出了一个搜索毫米波,光学R波段和伽马射线观测之间的相关变化的证据。这项试点研究正在为当前和即将到来的CMB实验(如SPT-3G,Simons Observatory和CMB-S4)进行AGN监测铺平道路,包括使用VRO-LSST等设施进行多波长研究。

英文摘要:

Including millimeter-wave (mm-wave) data in multi-wavelength studies of the variability of active galactic nuclei (AGN) can provide insights into AGN physics that are not easily accessible at other wavelengths. We demonstrate in this work the potential of cosmic microwave background (CMB) telescopes to provide long-term, high-cadence mm-wave AGN monitoring over large fractions of sky. We report on a pilot study using data from the SPTpol instrument on the South Pole Telescope (SPT), which was designed to observe the CMB at arcminute and larger angular scales. Between 2013 and 2016, SPTpol was used primarily to observe a single 500 deg^2 field, covering the entire field several times per day with detectors sensitive to radiation in bands centered at 95 and 150 GHz. We use SPT 150 GHz observations to create AGN light curves, and we compare these mm-wave light curves to those at other wavelengths, in particular gamma-ray and optical. In this Letter, we focus on a single source, PKS 2326-502, which has extensive, day-timescale monitoring data in gamma-ray, optical, and now mm-wave between 2013 and 2016. We find PKS 2326-502 to be in a flaring state in the first two years of this monitoring, and we present a search for evidence of correlated variability between mm-wave, optical R band, and gamma-ray observations. This pilot study is paving the way for AGN monitoring with current and upcoming CMB experiments such as SPT-3G, Simons Observatory, and CMB-S4, including multi-wavelength studies with facilities such as VRO-LSST.
