Evidence of Relativistic Beaming in BL Lac-Type Objects
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Extract
Multifrequency observations of a variable extragalactic object, when all acquired within the inferred variability time scale of the source, can provide clues to the source's energy mechanisms. A guest observer program with the International Ultraviolet Explorer satellite has provided the focus for such measurements of a few BL Lac-type and related objects at frequencies in the radio, mm, IR, visual and UV. Earlier-epoch X-ray measurements are included in subsequent model fitting. This paper summarizes some of the observations in this program. Synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) models are then applied to the data, leading to the conclusions that the objects are relativistically beamed and that radio emission, at least below a frequency of ~20 GHz, is from a separate source region.
