论文摘要
我们使用Metsähovi,Swift,Fermi-Lat,Fermi-Lat,Magic,Fact,Fact,Fact和其他合作和其他乐器的数据,在2014年6月至2014年6月的MRK 421中没有活动的活动,该活动均未进行过活动,但在2016年6月的其他活动中,弗洛尔(MRK 421)的活动均未进行过舞会活动,我们报告了附近的多个频率变异性(z = 0.031)Blazar Markarian 421(MRK 421)的表征的表征(f $ _ {> 1 \ mathrm {tev}} <$ 1.7 $ \ times $ 10 $^{ - 12} $ ph cm $^{ - 2} $ s $ s $^{ - 1} $),在2-10 kev(x射线)中\ Mathrm {Kev}} <$ 3.6 $ \ times $ 10 $^{ - 11} $ erg cm $^{ - 2} $ s $^{ - 1} $)在此期间,Swift-BAT数据表明超出了常规同步器发射以外的其他频谱组件。最高的通量变异性发生在X射线和非常高的能量(E $> $> $ 0.1 TEV)$γ$ - 节目中,尽管活动较低,但它显示出显着的正相关,并且没有时间滞后。 HR $ _ \ MATHRM {KEV} $和HR $ _ \ MATHRM {TEV} $在许多Blazars中观察到了更难的潮流趋势时,但这种趋势以最高的磁通量变平,这表明在占主导地位的Blazar可变性过程中的变化。通过从2007年到2014年的数据扩大数据集,我们在大约60天的范围内测量了光学与GEV排放之间的正相关性,以零时间为中心,光学/GEV与无线电排放之间的正相关与无线电排放之间的正相关,范围内,大约60天的范围为$ 43^^{+9} _ 6} $ 6} $ 6} $ 6} $ 6} $ 6} $ { - 6} $ {-6} $ {-6}。位于射流的光学/GEV发射区域下游约0.2 parsec。在大多数探测的能带中,用对数正态函数更好地描述了通量分布,这表明MRK 421的可变性可能是由乘法过程产生的。
We report a characterization of the multi-band flux variability and correlations of the nearby (z=0.031) blazar Markarian 421 (Mrk 421) using data from Metsähovi, Swift, Fermi-LAT, MAGIC, FACT and other collaborations and instruments from November 2014 till June 2016. Mrk 421 did not show any prominent flaring activity, but exhibited periods of historically low activity above 1 TeV (F$_{>1\mathrm{TeV}}<$ 1.7$\times$10$^{-12}$ ph cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$) and in the 2-10 keV (X-ray) band (F$_{2-10 \mathrm{keV}}<$3.6$\times$10$^{-11}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$), during which the Swift-BAT data suggests an additional spectral component beyond the regular synchrotron emission. The highest flux variability occurs in X-rays and very-high-energy (E$>$0.1 TeV) $γ$-rays, which, despite the low activity, show a significant positive correlation with no time lag. The HR$_\mathrm{keV}$ and HR$_\mathrm{TeV}$ show the harder-when-brighter trend observed in many blazars, but the trend flattens at the highest fluxes, which suggests a change in the processes dominating the blazar variability. Enlarging our data set with data from years 2007 to 2014, we measured a positive correlation between the optical and the GeV emission over a range of about 60 days centered at time lag zero, and a positive correlation between the optical/GeV and the radio emission over a range of about 60 days centered at a time lag of $43^{+9}_{-6}$ days.This observation is consistent with the radio-bright zone being located about 0.2 parsec downstream from the optical/GeV emission regions of the jet. The flux distributions are better described with a LogNormal function in most of the energy bands probed, indicating that the variability in Mrk 421 is likely produced by a multiplicative process.
