16 Jun 2000 | | Journal: | Astrophysical Journal, vol.544, p.545 (2000) | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Abstract: | A BeppoSAX observation of the z=2.34 quasar PKS2149-306 produced a strong signal in the high energy PDS instrument up to a maximum observed energy of nearly 50 keV, 150 keV in the quasar frame. The Beppo-SAX spectrum spans almost 3 decades (0.3-150 keV, quasar frame) and shows an extremely hard (alpha=0.4+/-0.05) X-ray spectrum above 3 keV (comparable to the X-ray background slope), and either a softer (alpha=1.0(+0.6, -0.3)) low energy component, or an ionized absorber at zero redshift. No evidence is seen of an Fe-K emission line (EW<167 eV at 6.5 keV quasar frame) or a Compton hump (R<0.3). A bremsstrahlung fit gives kT(rest)=46(+32, -16) keV, similar to the X-ray background value, and a high energy cut-off power law requires E(cut)>120 keV (quasar frame). The SED of PKS 2149-306 shows two peaks at ~ 10(12+/-0.5}Hz and ~10(21+/-1.0)Hz (~ 0.3 mm and ~ 4 MeV), strongly resembling a low energy cutoff BL~Lac object (LBL). The ratio of the two peaks shows an extreme Compton dominance (C_D=1.4+/- 0.4), as in flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs). The presence of an additional `optical/UV big bump’ component may provide photons that cool the jet, suppressing the radio emission. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0006225 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
