Cosmic Neutrinos from Temporarily Gamma-suppressed Blazars

چکیده
Despite the uncovered association of a high-energy neutrino with apparent flaring state blazar TXS 0506+056 in 2017, mechanisms leading to astrophysical particle acceleration and production are still uncertain. Recent studies found that when transparent $\gamma$-rays, $\gamma$-flaring blazars do not have opacity for protons produce neutrinos. Here we present observational evidence an alternative explanation, which $\gamma$-ray emission is suppressed during efficient production. A large proton target photon density help neutrinos while temporarily suppress observable $\gamma$-emission due $\gamma \gamma$ opacity. We show Fermi-LAT $\gamma$-flux PKS 1502+106 was at local minimum IceCube recorded coincident IC-190730A. Using data from OVRO 40-meter Telescope, find radio time period IC-190730A high state, contrast earlier periods $\gamma$ fluxes correlated both low states. This points active outflow $\gamma$-suppressed similar $\gamma$-suppression other blazars, including MAGIC's TeV flux TXS\,0506+056 Fermi-LAT's B1424-418 detections. temporary $\gamma$-suppression, neutrino-blazar coincidence searches could be substantially more sensitive than previously assumed, enabling identification origin IceCube's diffuse possibly already existing data.

I describe a model of energetic gamma ray and neutrino emission in blazars which is consistent with most of the gamma-ray observations, and use this model to estimate the diffuse intensity of high energy neutrinos from blazars. ∗Accretion Phenomena and Related Outflows, IAU Colloq. 163, 1996
متن کاملCosmic Rays and High-Energy Neutrinos from Gamma-Ray Bursts
Several lines of evidence point to a relationship between gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and the high mass stars that explode as supernovae. Arguments that GRB sources accelerate cosmic rays (CRs) are summarized. High-energy neutrino detection from individual GRBs would mean that they are hadronically dominated, that is, that the amount of energy deposited in the form of nonthermal hadrons in GRB blas...
متن کاملgamma rays and neutrinos from a powerful cosmic accelerator.
Possibly, the powerful radio quasar 3C273 will reveal its nature as an efficient proton accelerator up to energies of order 10 11 GeV in the near future. It is shown in this paper that the shock accelerated protons expected to be present in the quasar's plasma jet induce an unsaturated synchrotron cascade with electromagnetic radiation emerging in the X–ray and gamma ray range. While (including...
متن کاملCosmic Rays and Neutrinos from Gamma Ray Bursts
We review the hypothesis that the acceleration of protons at internal shocks in Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) could be the origin of the ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) observed at earth, Emax > ∼ 10 19 eV. We find that, even though protons may be accelerated to such energies, their ejection into the interstellar/intergalactic medium is problematic because it is likely to be accompanied by consi...
متن کاملGamma - Ray Bursts , Cosmic - Rays and Neutrinos ∗
The γ-ray burst (GRB) model for production of ultra-high-energy, > 10 eV, cosmic-rays is based on the hypothesis that GRBs arise from the dissipation of the kinetic energy of relativistic fireballs at cosmological distances. Recent observations of delayed low energy emission, “afterglow,” from GRB sources strongly support the validity of this hypothesis. Observations also provide quantitative s...
