蝎虎天体能谱曲率与其伽马射线辐射亮度的关系
The Curvature of Spectral Energy Distribution and γ-ray Dominance of Fermi BL Lac Objects
摘要
Abstract
The extragalactic γ-ray sky is dominated by blazars and their study plays an important role in understanding jet physics,cosmic evolution history and origin of ultra high energy cosmic rays.In this work,we study a large sample of BL Lac objects to investigate why some sources are detected in γ-rays,while others not.We selected 170 BL Lac objects,with measured synchrotron spectral curvature and Doppler factor,and divided them into Fermi-LAT detected (FBLs) and non-detected (NFBLs) sources.We show that FBLs have smaller curvature than NFBLs,even after getting rid of Doppler beaming effect.The BL Lac objects PKS 0048-09 and S5 0716+714 have similar synchrotron peak frequency and luminosity but different γ-ray dominance and their quasi-simultaneous broadband spectral energy distributions (SEDs) can be well fitted by a log-parabolic synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) model with same jet parameters except for the curvature and source size,assuming curvature being proportional to the size of emission region.Our results imply that for a given synchrotron luminosity,the different SED curvature and Compton dominance may account for the discrepancy between FBLs and NFBLs.We discuss these results in context of stochastic particle acceleration and radiation mechanisms.关键词
