用离散相关函数方法分析Blazar天体的γ射线和射电辐射的相关性

收集了119颗有γ射线噪的Blazar天体样品(97个平谱射电类星体和22个BL Lac天体)，用离散相关函数(DCF)方法分析了1GeV γ射线辐射流量(最大值、最小值和平均值)与8.4GHz射电辐射流量之间的相关性.获得的主要结果为：在119个Blazar天体和97个平谱射电类星体中，γ射线辐射流量的最大值以及平均值和射电辐射流量之间有相关性;而γ射线辐射流量的最小值和射电辐射流量之间没有相关性.本文结果表明，γ射线和射电辐射都来自喷流，γ射线很可能产生于同步自康普顿(SSC)过程. 关键词： Blazar γ射线 射电辐射 流量密度     

γ噪Blazar天体的γ射线和近红外光辐射研究

收集了29个有γ噪的Blazar天体(其中有16个BL Lac天体和13个平谱射电类星体)的近红外流量密度和γ射线流量密度,获得以下主要结果:1)23个天体中的γ射线流量密度和近红外流量密度在低态时存在较强的相关性而在高态时有弱的相关性.2)在29个天体中,有6个天体只有一个观测数据点,将其认为是高态时,γ射线流量密度与近红外光流量密度之间有弱相关性,而认为是低态时有强相关性.3)29个源的γ射线流量密度与X射线流量密度在低态时有相关性,但是γ射线流量与光学流量密度,γ射线流量与射电流量密度均没有相关性.4)在16个BL Lac天体中γ射线流量与近红外光流量不论在高态还是低态都有相关性,而13个平谱射电类星体没有相关性.讨论了γ噪Blazar天体的γ射线辐射机制,认为γ射线的辐射机制主要是同步自康普顿散射.而逆康普顿散射来自绕中心核且温度约为2000K的尘埃,这些尘埃的区域大约有r=3pc,聚束的相对论电子也可能是这种尘埃模型辐射机制的一个重要补充.平谱射电类星体和BL Lac天体的γ辐射机制可能有些不同. 关键词： Blazar天体 星系γ射线观测辐射机制 非热辐射

基于聚合经验模态分解方法的OJ 287 射电流量变化周期分析

BL Lac 天体OJ 287 是一个重要的Blazar天体, 光变具有准周期特点. 本文从密歇根大学射电天文台数据库收集了OJ 287射电波段4.8, 8.0和 14.5 GHz超过30年时间的观测数据. 由于天文观测资料的复杂性, 一些传统寻找周期的方法不是太理想. 近几年迅速发展起来的聚合经验模态分解(EEMD) 特别适合于具有非线性和非平稳动态变化特性的Blazar天体光变规律的研究. 运用EEMD方法对OJ 287 的3个射电波段流量分别进行多时间尺度分解, 各获得6个代表不同时间尺度局部特征信息的本征模态函数分量和一个趋势项. 研究结果表明: 4.8 GHz射电流量变化的主要周期是18.9, 11.9, 5.7 和2.4年; 8.0 GHz 的主要周期是12.2, 5.2和2.4 年; 14.5 GHz的主要周期是21.8, 12.0, 4.3和 2.4 年. 尽管3个波段流量变化主要周期大小有一定的差别, 但是存在着近似相同的变化周期12.0 和2.4年, 说明这3个波段可能来源于相同的辐射机制, 也证实了OJ 287 射电波段和光学波段具有相同的长光变周期12.0 年. 这些结论表明: EEMD 作为一种全新的非线性、非平稳信号处理方法, 可以更精确地提取Blazar天体中不同光变周期的分量. 关键词： OJ 287 光变周期 聚合经验模态分解

Long-term optical and radio variability analysis of BL Lacertae 2200+420

Based on the radio light curves in 22 GHz and 37 GHz from the Metsahovi monitoring program and the optical light curves in BVRI bands from previously published results and the"Whole Earth Blazar Telescope"(WEBT)archives,we analyze the time delay among 22 GHz,37 GHz and optical bands(B,V,R,I)of BL Lacertae by means of discrete correlation method.The results suggest there exist strong correlation among 22 GHz,37 GHz and optical bands(B,V,R,I)with zero-lag.The 37 GHz lags behind R band by 11 months.The correlation of brightness and color index among BVRI bands,brightness and spectral index between 37GHz and 22 GHz are also investigated.The results show a clear trend of bluer-when-brighter.     

Effective spectral index properties for Fermi blazars

Blazars are a special subclass of active galactic nuclei with extreme observation properties. This subclass can be divided into two further subclasses of flat spectrum radio quasars(FSRQs) and BL Lacertae objects(BL Lacs) according to their emission line features. To compare the spectral properties of FSRQs and BL Lacs, the 1.4 GHz radio, optical R-band, 1 keV X-ray, and 1 GeVy-ray flux densities for 1108 Fermi blazars are calculated to discuss the properties of the six effective spectral indices of radio to optical(α_(RO)), radio to X-ray(α_(RX)), radio to y ray(α_(Ry)), optical to X-ray(α_(OX)), optical to y ray(α_(Oy)), and X-ray to y ray(α_(Xy)).The main results are as follows: For the averaged effective spectral indices, α_(OX_ α_(Oy) α_(Xy) α_(Ry) α_(RX) α_(RO) for samples of whole blazars and BL Lacs; α_(Xy)≈α_(Ry)≈α_(RX) for FSRQs and low-frequency-peaked BL Lacs(LBLs); and α_(OX)≈α_(Oy)≈α_(Xy) for high-synchrotron-frequency-peaked BL Lacs(HBLs). The distributions of the effective spectral indices involving optical emission(α_(RO), α_(OX), and α_(Oy)) for LBLs are different from those for FSRQs, but if the effective spectral index does not involve optical emission(α_(RX), α_(Ry), and α_(Xy)), the distributions for LBLs and FSRQs almost come from the same parent population. X-ray emissions from blazars include both synchrotron and inverse Compton (IC) components; the IC component for FSRQs and LBLs accounts for a larger proportion than that for HBLs; and the radiation mechanism for LBLs is similar to that for FSRQs, but the radiation mechanism for HBLs is different from that for both FSRQs and LBLs in X-ray bands. The tendency of α_(Ry) decreasing from LBLs to HBLs suggests that the synchrotron self-Compton model explains the main process for highly energetic y rays in BL Lacs.     

Relativistic beaming effect for blazars

In this paper, we revisit the relationship between the spectral index and the core-dominance parameter using a larger sample of 157 blazars (23 BL Lacertae objects and 134 flat spectrum radio quasars), compiled from the available literature. From the relevant data, we find the spectral index associated with the core-dominance parameter, for which a relativistic beaming effect is responsible. In addition, we make a comparison of the properties between BL Lacertae objects and flat spectrum radio quasars.     

GAMMA-RAY AND X-RAY EMISSION FROM GAMMA-RAY-LOUD BLAZARS

We present a strong correlation of the gamma-ray (above 100 MeV) mean spectral indices α_γ and X-ray (1 keV) mean spectral indices α_X for 34 gamma-ray-loud blazars (16 BL Lac objects and 18 flat spectrum radio quasars). A strong correlation is also found between the gamma-ray flux densities F_γ and X-ray flux densities F_X in the low state for 47 blazars (17 BL Lac and 30 flat spectrum radio quasars). Possible correlation on the gamma-ray emission mechanism is discussed. We suggest that the main gamma-ray radiation mechanism is probably the synchrotron process. The gamma-ray emission may be somewhat different from that of BL Lac objects and flat spectrum radio quasars.     

Some statistical correlation analyses for Fermi/LAT Blazars

A sample including 664 blazars(301 Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars and 363 BL Lacs) with γ-ray data in both 1FGL and 2FGL catalogues were selected. The average values of both γ-photon average energy and the photon spectral index for FSRQs, LBLs, IBLs and HBLs, follow the blazars sequence, FSRQs → LBLs →IBLs → HBLs. The slopes of correlation between photon spectral index and γ-ray luminosity for 4 the sub-classes of blazars also follow the blazars sequence. Also, there was close anti-correlations between the difference of two γ-ray photon spectral indices and the logarithm of the ratio of two γ-ray luminosities from 2FGL and 1FGL catalogs. It implies that the spectrum becomes flat when the source becomes brighter in high energetic γ-ray band. Lastly, the Kolmogolov-Smirnov test(KS test) of the average γ-photon energy showed that HBLs differs from LBLs and FSRQs, while there was no clear difference between LBLs and FSRQs, which implied that the γ-ray emissions in LBLs and FSRQs may be a result of the same emission mechanism.     

Statistical properties of extragalactic radio sources

In this paper, a large sample of extragalactic radio sources is analysed to show their statistical properties. The core and total radio powers are used to determine the core-dominance parameter for galaxies, BL Lacertae objects and quasars; mutual correlations between core radio power, total radio power, redshift and core dominance parameter are examined for different subclasses. A statistically significant correlation between the total and core radio power is confirmed. There are no obvious correlations between core-dominance parameter and the total power for our whole sample and quasars, but there is a statistically significant anti-correlation for our galaxy sample. Some discussions and comparison of the correlations with those obtained by other authors are also given.     

The line emissions and polarization in blazars

The correlations between broad-line emission,polarization,and core-dominance parameters are investigated for a sample of 148 blazars(BL Lacertae objects-BLs and flat spectrum radio quasars-FSRQs). An anti-correlation between the broad-line luminosity and the linear polarization is found. The broad-line and polarization relation can be explained by using a relativistic beaming model,which perhaps suggests that BL Lacs and FSRQs are a single class. We also investigated the relation between the ratio of the broad-line luminosity to the Eddington luminosity and linear polarization,and that between the ratio of the broad-line luminosity to the Eddington luminosity and the core-dominance parameter.
