RATAN-600 multi-frequency data for the BL Lacertae objects

We present a new catalogue of the RATAN-600 multi-frequency measurements for BL Lac objects. The purpose of this catalogue is to compile the BL Lac multi-frequency data that is acquired with the RATAN-600 simultaneously at several frequencies. The BL Lac objects emit a strongly variable and polarized non-thermal radiation across the entire electromagnetic spectrum from radio to gamma rays and represent about 1% of known AGNs. They belong to the blazar population and differ from other blazars&#39; featureless optical spectrum, which sometimes have absorption lines, or have weak and narrow emission lines. One of the most effective ways of studying the physics of BL Lacs is the use of simultaneous multi-frequency data. The multi-frequency broadband radio spectrum was obtained simultaneously with an accuracy of up to 1-2 min for four to six frequencies: 1.1, 2.3, 4.8, 7.7, 11.2, and 21.7 GHz. The catalogue is based on the RATAN-600 observations and on the data from: equatorial coordinate and redshift, R-band magnitude, synchrotron peak frequency, SED classes, and object type literature. The present version of the catalogue contains RATAN-600 flux densities measurements over nine years (2006-2014), radio spectra at different epochs, and their parameters of the catalogue for more than 300 BL Lacs objects and candidates. The BL Lacs list is constantly updated with new observational data of RATAN-600.</p

Multifrequency quasi-simultaneous observations of six low-synchrotron peaked blazars

© Pleiades Publishing, Ltd., 2015. We made an estimation of the synchrotron peak frequency (νspeak) of the spectral energy distribution (SED) for six blazars. These objects were selected as very-low-synchrotron peaked (VLSP) blazar candidates (with νspeak ≤ 1013 Hz).We have built the SED of the studied objects using quasi-simultaneous observations on the SAO RAS Zeiss-1000 and RATAN-600 telescopes and made an estimation of the synchrotron peak frequency. As a result, three sources (PKS0446+11, [HB89] 1308+326, and 3C345) were confirmed as VLSP, for the three remaining blazars the calculations have shown νspeak > 1013 Hz

Study of the relation between the jet and accretion-disk emission in Blazars using RATAN-600 multifrequency data

We study the correlation between the emission from the broad-line region (BLR) and the emission in other wavelength ranges (from radio to x-ray) for the sample of 37 blazars (25 flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) and 10 BLLac blazars). Studying the relation between luminosities in various wavebands and the BLR luminosity is an effective method to examine the connection between the accretion rate and the luminosity of the jet.We used simultaneous RATAN-600measurements of blazar flux densities at six frequencies: 1.1, 2.3, 4.8, 7.7, 11.2, and 21.7 GHz. The observational data from other bands was taken from the literature. To determine the effect produced by the state of the object on the correlation, for the radio data we used the measurements obtained with the RATAN-600 in two states-namely, the maximum and minimum flux density values.We show that at some frequencies of the radio band, there exists a correlation of emission with the emission in the BLR for two types of blazars. In the FSRQ and BL Lac blazars, the correlation between the flux from the BLR and the flux in the radio band is indistinguishable in all cases, except for the case when a strong flux density variation was considered for the BL Lac-type of blazars (tens of percent). At the same time, the levels of significance for BL Lac (at certain frequencies p is worse than 0.05) in the active state indicate only the probable presence of connection. On the example of the sample, we show that the variability of emission significantly affects the level of correlation. Our results are consistent with the theoretical predictions about the close relationship of the accretion disk and the jet in blazars. © 2014 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd

Optoelectronic Methods of IR-Photometry in Solving Thermal and Physical Problems

Results of the application of optoelectronic IR-photometry methods for solving the actual thermophysical problems using high-speed photodiode temperature (pyrometric) sensors are presented. The latest achievements of the Ioffe Institute in the field of middle IR spectral range (3-6 μm) photodiode production technology are used in the sensor development. The above-mentioned middle-IR photodiode sensors are based on heterostructures from A3B5 solid solutions and they do not require forced cooling. New data on thermophysical processes taking place under the complex experimental conditions, including dynamically changing properties of the object, have been obtained. The new experimental results are based on high-speed non-contact measurements of the absolute temperature of objects directly in the exposure region of laser radiation and / or powerful electromagnetic fields. In the context of creating new experimental techniques for determining the thermophysical parameters of new promising materials the efficiency of middle- IR photodiode temperature sensors has been shown. In particular, a simple and effective measuring method for determining the heat transfer coefficient of solid objects and the pyroelectric coefficient of ferro- and pyroelectric materials is offered. The measuring method is based on laser thermowave techniques and direct noncontact measurements of the sample surface temperature under the pulsed / periodic laser action. The proposed experimental techniques make it possible to significantly improve the accuracy of measurements of thermophysical parameters of materials, and in particular, to eliminate a considerable spread of data on the parameters of the pyroelectric effect in ferroelectric materials. Keywords: Pyrometric sensors, mid-IR photodiodes, laser thermowave techniques, heat transfer coefficient, pyroelectric coefficien

A study of the synchrotron component in the blazar spectral energy distributions

© Pleiades Publishing, Ltd., 2015. We study the synchrotron component of nonthermal radiation of blazars using the spectral energy distribution (SED). The sample contains a total of 877 blazars, including 423 flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs), 361 BL Lac objects and candidates, and 93 blazars of uncertain type. Using the ASDC SED Builder Tool, we have made an estimation of the synchrotron peak frequency νspeak using archive data of different catalogs. The position of the synchrotron peak frequency was determined for 875 objects, which were further classified as follows: 611 low-synchrotron peaked (LSP) blazars (νspeak 14.5 Hz), 222 intermediate-synchrotron peaked (ISP) blazars (1014.5 s peak speak > 1016.5 Hz). For the FSRQs the average νspeak is 1013.4±1.0 Hz, for the BL Lac-type blazars it equals 1014.6±1.4 Hz. We found that νs peak values and the spectral flux density at 4.8 GHz form different distributions for two types of blazars—FSRQ and BL Lac— and for the radio-selected (RBLs) and x-ray-selected (XBLs) blazars. The distribution of νspeak values is broader for BL Lac objects than for FSRQs. There are no ultra-high-energy synchrotron-peak BL Lac objects (UHBLs, with νspeak > 1019 Hz) in our sample. We have found very-low-synchrotron peaked (VLSP) blazar candidates (with νspeak < 1013 Hz). Most of them are the FSRQs (41% of the total number) and only 9%are the BL Lac objects. Our results confirm the results of other authors, made on the samples with a significantly smaller number of objects
