Veritas Observations of a Very High Energy Γ -ray Flare from the Blazar 3c 66a
The intermediate-frequency peaked BL Lacertae (IBL) object 3C 66A is detected during 2007–2008 in VHE (very high energy; E > 100 GeV) γ rays with the VERITAS stereoscopic array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. An excess of 1791 events is detected, corresponding to a significance of 21.2 standard deviations (σ ), in these observations (32.8 hr live time). The observed integral flux a...
متن کاملProduction of the High Energy-momentum Spectra of Quasars 3c 279 and 3c 273 Using the Penrose Mechanism
Theoretical and numerical (Monte Carlo) N-particle computer model simulations show that Penrose Compton scattering (PCS) near the event horizon and Penrose pair production (PPP) at or near the photon orbit, in the ergosphere of a supermassive (M = 10M⊙) rotating black hole, can generate the necessary energy-momentum spectra to explain the origin of the mysterious fluxes of ultrarelativistic ele...
متن کاملOn the application of the mirror model for gamma-ray flare in 3C 279
Multiwavelength observations of high energy flare in 1996 from 3C 279 seems to favour the so called mirror model between different inverse Compton scattering models proposed as a possible explanation of gamma-ray emission in blazars. We performed kinematic analysis of the relativistic blob mirror system and found that only part of the mirror located very close to the jet axis (very likely insid...
متن کاملTime Variable Faraday Rotation Measures of 3c 273 & 3c 279
Multifrequency polarimetry with the VLBA confirms the previously reported timevarying Faraday rotation measure (RM) in the quasar 3C 279. Variability in the RM and electric vector position angle (EVPA) of the jet component (C4) is seen making it an unreliable absolute EVPA calibrator. 3C 273 is also shown to vary its RM structure on 1.5 year time-scales. Variation in the RM properties of quasar...
متن کاملFull Polarization Spectra of 3c 279
We report the results of parsec-scale, multi-frequency VLBA observations of the core region of 3C 279 in Stokes I, linear polarization, and circular polarization. These full polarization spectra are modeled by radiative transfer simulations to constrain the magnetic field and particle properties of the parsec-scale jet in 3C 279. We find that the polarization properties of the core region, incl...
