摘要:

在射电源中产生喷流的中央引擎可能间歇性地工作,加速具有不同质量、能量和速度的等离子体壳层。更快但更晚的shell可以赶上更慢的早期shell。在由此产生的碰撞中,冲击发展,将一些有序的整体动能转换成磁场和随机的电子能量,然后辐射。我们提出,这种内部冲击的情况下,这是通常认为解释观测到的伽马射线暴辐射的情况下,也可以为一般的无线电源,特别是耀变体。我们详细研究这个想法,模拟的诞生,传播和碰撞的炮弹,计算在每次碰撞中产生的频谱,并总结本地产生的频谱从这些地区的射流同时活跃在观察者的帧。因此,我们可以构建整体光谱能量分布的快照以及随时间变化的光谱和光变曲线。这使我们能够表征在任何频率的预测的变化,研究在不同频率的发射之间的相关性,指定的总排放的射流的每个区域的贡献,找到在高能量耀斑和超光速无线电结和/或无线电耀斑的诞生之间的相关性。该模型已被应用到定性再现所观察到的性质的3C 279。全球协议的光谱和时间evolution方面found. In即将进行的工作,我们探讨了这种情况下设置的约束条件的初始条件的等离子体注入射流和不同类别的耀变体的冲击耗散。

英文摘要:

The central engine causing the production of jets in radio sources may work intermittently, accelerating shells of plasma with different mass, energy and velocity. Faster but later shells can then catch up slower earlier ones. In the resulting collisions shocks develop, converting some of the ordered bulk kinetic energy into magnetic field and random energy of the electrons which then radiate. We propose that this internal shock scenario, which is the scenario generally thought to explain the observed gamma-ray burst radiation, can work also for radio sources in general, and for blazar in particular. We investigate in detail this idea, simulating the birth, propagation and collision of shells, calculating the spectrum produced in each collision, and summing the locally produced spectra from those regions of the jet which are simultaneously active in the observer's frame. We can thus construct snapshots of the overall spectral energy distribution as well as time dependent spectra and light curves. This allows us to characterize the predicted variability at any frequency, study correlations among the emission at different frequencies, specify the contribution of each region of the jet to the total emission, find correlations between flares at high energies and the birth of superluminal radio knots and/or radio flares. The model has been applied to qualitatively reproduce the observed properties of 3C 279. Global agreement in terms of both spectra and temporal evolution is found. In a forthcoming work, we explore the constraints which this scenario sets on the initial conditions of the plasma injected in the jet and the shock dissipation for different classes of blazars.
