AI总结:

本文研究了耀变体AO 0235+164在2013-2019年的多波段耀斑活动,通过DCF和VLBA数据分析发现了射电与伽马射线的显著相关性及新喷流成分,推导出多普勒因子等参数,并证实其射电辐射区在耀斑期间接近磁能与动能均分状态。

摘要:

我们报告了耀变体AO 0235+164在2013至2019年最近活跃期间的多波段耀斑活动。通过离散相关函数(DCF)分析,我们发现射电与$γ$射线光曲线之间存在显著(>95%)的相关性,且较长波段的耀斑滞后于较短波段的耀斑。我们在43 GHz VLBA数据中识别出一个新的喷流成分,该成分于MJD $57246^{+26}_{-30}$(2015年8月12日)从射电核心抛出,正值2015年射电耀斑峰值期间。通过对该喷流成分的分析,我们推导出多普勒因子$δ_{\rm var}=28.5\pm8.4$,整体洛伦兹因子$Γ=16.8^{+3.6}_{-3.1}$,以及内禀视角$θ_{\rm v}=1.42^{+1.07}_{-0.52}\textrm{ degrees}$。对准同时射电数据的分析揭示了部分吸收谱,其翻转频率在$10-70$ GHz范围内变化,峰值通量密度在$0.7-4$ Jy范围内变化。我们发现在2015年射电耀斑峰值时,同步自吸收磁场强度为$B_{\rm SSA}=15.3^{+12.6}_{-14.0}$ mG,与同一历元计算得到的均分磁场强度$B_{\rm EQ}=43.6^{+10.6}_{-10.4}$ mG相当。对AO 0235+164相对论性喷流射电辐射区的进一步分析表明,在最近的耀斑活动期间,它并未显著偏离均分状态。

英文摘要:

We present the multiwavelength flaring activity of the blazar AO 0235+164 during its recent active period from 2013 to 2019. From a discrete correlation function (DCF) analysis, we find a significant (>95%) correlation between radio and $γ$-ray light curves with flares at longer wavelengths following flares at shorter wavelengths. We identify a new jet component in 43 GHz VLBA data that was ejected from the radio core on MJD $57246^{+26}_{-30}$ (2015 August 12), during the peak of the 2015 radio flare. From the analysis of the jet component, we derived a Doppler factor of $δ_{\rm var}=28.5\pm8.4$, a bulk Lorentz factor of $Γ=16.8^{+3.6}_{-3.1}$, and an intrinsic viewing angle of $θ_{\rm v}=1.42^{+1.07}_{-0.52}\textrm{ degrees}$. Investigation of the quasi-simultaneous radio data revealed a partially absorbed spectrum with the turnover frequency varying in the range of $10-70$ GHz and the peak flux density varying in the range of $0.7-4$ Jy. We find the synchrotron self-absorption magnetic field strength to be $B_{\rm SSA}=15.3^{+12.6}_{-14.0}$ mG at the peak of the 2015 radio flare, which is comparable to the equipartition magnetic field strength of $B_{\rm EQ}=43.6^{+10.6}_{-10.4}$ mG calculated for the same epoch. Additional analysis of the radio emission region in the relativistic jet of AO 0235+164 suggests that it did not significantly deviate from equipartition during its recent flaring activity.
