Multiwavelenth Observations Of Strong Flares From The Tev Blazar 1ES 1959+650 Reporter: 倪嘉阳 Arthor:H.Krawczynski, S.B. Hughes 2013.10.08
2
Introduction Detection of strong TeV γ-ray flares from the BL Lac object 1ES 1959+650 Intensive target of opportunity radio, optical, X-ray, and TeV γ-ray observations There was six well-established TeV Blazars at that time(see table 1)
4
Long flaring phases can be recognized in three sources Mrk 501 flared in 1997 but showed only modest fluxes thereafter Flaring phases offer ideal opportunities to study these objects
5
Data sets and data reduction Radio observations UMRAO at 4.8 and 14.5 GHz between 2002 May and August 9 Additional flux density measurements: VLA of the NRAO
6
Optical observations (two optical data sets) 0.4m telescope at Boltwood Observatory, using V, R, and I broadband filters 0.7m telescope at the Abastmani Observatory in Georgia, using an R filter for all observations
7
X-ray observations 3-25 keV data from the PCA on board the RXTE satellite Standard procedure to reduce the data to get the light curves and spectra
8
Gamma-ray observations Whipple 10 m Cerenkov telescope The HEGRA system of five Cerenkov telescopes
9
Results of the multiwavelenth campaign Analyse of every figure For analyzing the X-ray flux variability, compute the e- folding times: Shortest e-folding times Analyze photon index variations
10
Detailed light curves Divide the data into four epochs Epoch 1(May 16-25;MJD 52410-52419): γ-ray and X-ray fluxes seem to be correlated Epoch 2(May 26-June 21;MJD 52420-52446) the strong ophan γ-ray flare on June 4,shown in more detail Epoch 3(July 5-19;MJD 52460-52474) Epoch 4(July 31-August 14;MJD 52486-52500)
11
Flux correlations in different energy bands the correlation between simultaneously measured γ-ray and X-ray fluxes during the full campaign
12
X-ray hardness-intensity correlation The correlation between 3- 25keV X-ray photon index and the 10 keV flux
13
Spectral energy distribution and SSC modeling X-ray emission: synchrotron self-Compton(SSC) mechanism Γ-ray emission: inverse Compton scattering of synchrotron photons The radio-to-γ-ray SED of 1ES 1959+650, together with a simple one-zone SSC model
14
The orphan γ-ray flare in the frame of SSC models It is not possible to produce an orphan γ-ray flare by moving the high-energy cutoff of accelerated electrons to higher energies Adding a low energy electron population succeeds in producing an orphan γ-ray flare Postulating a second, dense electron population within a small emission region
15
Correlations between emission parameters and black hole mass indicators
16
conclusion Presenting evidence for an “orphan” γ-ray flare without an X-ray counterpart There are several ways to explain the orphan flare Multiple-Component SSC Models External Compton Models Magnetic Field Aligned along Jet axis Proton Models It cannot be explained with conventional one- zone SSC model
