摘要:

我们研究了明亮的伽玛射线耀变体PKS 0402-362的长期行为。我们收集了2008年8月至2021年1月期间约13年的费米-LAT数据,并确定了三个明亮的$γ$射线活动时期。第二个被发现是在这个来源中见过的最明亮的时代。我们观察到大多数的$γ$射线耀斑峰值是不对称的轮廓,这表明缓慢的冷却时间的粒子或变化的多普勒因子作为这些耀斑的主要原因。$γ$射线谱用PL和LP谱模型拟合,在这两种情况下,谱指数都很陡。的$γ$射线谱不超过10 GeV的能量表明的发射内产生的BLR。光学-IR和$γ$ -射线之间不存在时间滞后,表明一个区域发射模型。使用上述信息,我们已经模拟了宽带SED与一个简单的单区排放模型,使用公开可用的代码“GAMERA”。粒子分布指数被发现是相同的预期在扩散冲击加速表明它作为粒子加速到非常高的能量高达4 - 6 GeV的主要机制。在各个通量阶段,我们注意到,光发射是由热盘占主导地位,这表明它是一个很好的来源,以检查磁盘喷流耦合。我们假设,所观察到的宽带耀斑可能与扰动产生的磁盘,传播到射流和相互作用的立激波。然而,需要进行更详细的审查。

英文摘要:

We study the long-term behavior of the bright gamma-ray blazar PKS 0402-362. We collected approximately 13 years of Fermi-LAT data between Aug 2008 to Jan 2021 and identified three bright $γ$-ray activity epochs. The second was found to be the brightest epoch ever seen in this source. We observed most of the $γ$-ray flare peaks to be asymmetric in profile suggesting a slow cooling time of particles or the varying Doppler factor as the main cause of these flares. The $γ$-ray spectrum is fitted with PL and LP spectral models, and in both cases, the spectral index is very steep. The $γ$-ray spectrum does not extend beyond 10 GeV energy suggesting the emission is produced within the BLR. The absence of time lags between optical-IR and $γ$-ray suggest one zone emission model. Using the above information, we have modeled the broadband SED with a simple one-zone emission model using the publicly available code `GAMERA'. The particle distribution index is found to be the same as expected in diffusive shock acceleration suggesting it as the main mechanism of particle acceleration to very high energy up to 4 - 6 GeV. Throughout the various flux phases, we noticed that the optical emission is dominated by the thermal disk, suggesting it to be a good source to examine the disk-jet coupling. We postulate that the observed broadband flares could be linked with perturbation produced in the disk, which propagates to the jet and interacts with the standing shock. However, a more detailed examination is required.
