The WISE Gamma-Ray Strip Parametrization: The Nature of the Gamma-Ray Active Galactic Nuclei of Uncertain Type

Journal Article - in OSTI.gov collection Massaro, F. ; /SLAC ; D'Abrusco, R. ; ... April 2012 - Submitted to Astrophysical Journal

Despite the large number of discoveries made recently by Fermi, the origins of the so called unidentified {gamma}-ray sources remain unknown. The large number of these sources suggests that among them there could be a population that significantly contributes to the isotropic gamma-ray background and is therefore crucial to understand their nature. The first step toward a complete comprehension of the unidentified {gamma}-ray source population is to identify those that can be associated with blazars, the most numerous class of extragalactic sources in the {gamma}-ray sky. Recently, we discovered that blazars can be recognized and separated from other extragalactic sourcesmore »« less

DUAL-FREQUENCY OBSERVATIONS OF 140 COMPACT, FLAT-SPECTRUM ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI FOR SCINTILLATION-INDUCED VARIABILITY

Journal Article - in OSTI.gov collection Koay, J. Y. ; Macquart, J.-P. ; Bignall, H. E. ; ... October 2011 - Astronomical Journal (New York, N.Y. Online)

The 4.9 GHz Micro-Arcsecond Scintillation-Induced Variability (MASIV) Survey detected a drop in interstellar scintillation (ISS) for sources at redshifts z {approx}> 2, indicating an apparent increase in angular diameter or a decrease in flux density of the most compact components of these sources relative to their extended emission. This can result from intrinsic source size effects or scatter broadening in the intergalactic medium (IGM) in excess of the expected (1 + z){sup 1/2} angular diameter scaling of brightness temperature limited sources resulting from cosmological expansion. We report here 4.9 GHz and 8.4 GHz observations and data analysis for a samplemore »« less

Production of the diffuse X-ray background spectrum by active galactic nuclei

Journal Article - in OSTI.gov collection Schwartz, D.A. ; Tucker, W.H. September 1988 - Astrophys. J.; (United States)

This paper proposes a class of models in which the intensity and spectrum of the X-ray background radiation between 0.2 and 160 keV can be produced by active galactic nuclei. The key assumption of these models is that the spectra of active galactic nuclei are not described by a single power law. No evolution of the X-ray spectra of active galactic nuclei is required. 37 references.

Nonthermal electron-positron pair production and the ''universal'' X-ray spectrum of active galactic nuclei

Journal Article - in OSTI.gov collection Zdziarski, A.A. ; Lightman, A.P. July 1985 - Astrophys. J., Lett. Ed.; (United States)

We consider a nonthermal model for power-law X-ray and ..gamma..-ray sources. An initial, primary distribution of relativistic electrons is injected and cooled via Compton scattering of soft photons (produced either externally or by the synchrotron mechanism). The scattered photons, constituting a primary ..gamma..-ray source, produce electron-positron pairs that act as a secondary electron injection, which in turn produce a secondary photon spectrum. In contrast to the treatment of this problem presented by Bonometto and Rees in 1971 and Kazanas in 1984, we take into account pairs formed by a part of the photon spectrum optically thin to pair production.
