Bl Lac Objects
SUMMARY: We present the radio detection of 18 BL Lac objects from our survey of over 575 deg 2 of sky. These 18 objects are located within 20 ′′ of the X-ray position, of which 11 have a measured red-shift. All candidates are radio emitters above ∼1 mJy and fall within the range of existing samples on the two colour, α ro vs α ox , diagram with a transitional population of three (3) evident. Tw...
متن کاملOn the Nature of BL Lac Objects
The BL Lacertae objects, or BL Lacs, have multi-wavelength continua dominated by non-thermal emission from a relativistic jet, and are characterised by a lack of optical emission lines. We find, through observations and modelling that the dominant factor in a source being called a BL Lac is the intrinsic lack of flux from the broad-line region – likely connected with a weak accretion disc – rat...
متن کاملTeV candidate BL Lac objects
The TeV emission of low power BL Lac objects has been established by the detection of an handful of them. The knowledge of the level of the TeV emission and its spectrum can shed light on the particle acceleration mechanisms, and it is especially important to assess the still uncertain level of the far infrared background radiation, which can absorb the TeV photons through photon–photon interac...
متن کاملConstraining the Cosmic Background Light with four BL Lac TeV spectra
The intrinsic BL Lac spectra above few hundreds GeV can be very different from the observed ones due to the absorption effects by the diffuse Extragalactic Background Light (EBL), at present poorly known. With the recent results, there are now 4 sources with good spectral information: Mkn 421 (z=0.031), Mkn 501 (z=0.034), 1ES 1426+428 (z=0.129) and 1ES 1959+650 (z=0.047). Making simple assumpti...
متن کاملBL Lac Identification for the Ultraluminous X-ray Source Observed in the Direction of NGC 4698
We report the identification of the optical and radio counterparts of the ultraluminous X-ray (ULX) source XMMU J124825.9+083020 (NGC4698-ULX1). The optical spectrum taken with the VLT yields a redshift of z = 0.43, which implies that the ULX is not associated with the nearby galaxy NGC 4698. The spectral energy distribution calculated from the available data indicates that the source is likely...
