An XMM-Newton look at the strongly variable radio-weak BL Lac Fermi J1544–0639

Abstract: Context. Fermi J1544-0639/ASASSN-17gs/AT2017egv was identified as a gamma-ray/optical transient on May 15, 2017. Subsequent multiwavelength observations suggest that this source may belong to the new class of radio-weak BL Lacs. Aims. We studied the X-ray spectral properties and short-term variability of Fermi J1544-0639 to constrain the X-ray continuum emission mechanism of this peculiar source. Methods. We present the analysis of an XMM-Newton observation, 56 ks in length, performed on February 21, 2018. Res… Show more

“…During the brightening, the 2-10 keV X-ray flux strongly varies increasing from (1.0 − 5.0) × 10 −12 erg cm −2 s −1 to (1.28 ± 0.05) × 10 −10 erg cm −2 s −1 . This variability, which is even larger when the flux is estimated in each Swift orbit, is clearly associated to a harderwhen-brighter behavior, as also noted by Ursini et al (2019) based on XMM observations. Such flux and photon index correlation is well known in HBL blazars (e.g.…”

“…Considering the post-burst data at 5 GHz, the radio to X-ray flux ratio is log (F 1.4 GHz /F 1 kev ) = -4.3 typical of HBL Blazars. Follow up XMM-Newtown (XMM) observations showed that the source exhibits strong variability both in the X-ray flux and spectral shape on timescales of ∼ 10 ks and the X-ray spectrum is described by a broken powerlaw (Ursini et al 2019).…”

“…In the first case, the soft excess would be due the relativistic reflection and it has been successfully tested on a number of different sources (see, e.g.,Walton et al 2013b). On the other hand, the warm Comptonization scenario has proved to be a viable explanation from the ultraviolet to soft X-rays of a number of nearby Seyfert galaxies for which simultaneous broadband data were used (see, e.g.,Porquet et al 2018, Ursini et al 2019, Matzeu et al 2020a).…”

“…Sin embargo, recientemente se ha puesto en discusión si todos los blazares emisores de rayos-γ son brillantes en radio, como sugiere dicha conexión. Se han encontrado un número pequeño pero creciente de BZBs Fermi mediante correlaciones posicionales con relevamientos de rayos-X, que no muestran emisión fuerte en radio, siendo, de hecho, al menos un order de magnitud más débil en ondas de radio de lo que se espera (Massaro et al, 2017;Bruni et al, 2018;Ursini et al, 2019). Este debate continúa a la fecha (Cao et al, 2019).…”
