摘要 | The current understanding of the kinetics of known TeV BL Lac objects' jets is that they substantially decelerate from a subparsec scale with a large Lorentz factor, emitting TeV radiation to a parsec scale, where the observed radio component is predominantly subluminal or mildly relativistic. A decelerating jet model of TeV BL Lac objects including jet dynamics and particle injection is proposed. The jet plasma is assumed to be continuously injected at the base of the jet and to dissipate at some distance from the central core. It is found that the deceleration profile of the jet depends on the density distribution of the external medium, showing slower variation in an external medium with a fast-falling density profile. The dissipated kinetic energy of the jet is assumed to be transferred to electron acceleration. The relativistic electrons are injected along the jet and then produce synchrotron and inverse Compton emission. The general characteristics of the physical quantities of the jet are discussed. It is shown that the resulting spectral energy distributions (SEDs) mainly depend on the energy distribution of injected electrons in the dissipation region, the magnetic structure, and the viewing angle of the jet. The model describes the underlying undisturbed jet and is applied to fit the quiescent infrared to X-ray spectra of several TeV BL Lac objects. In this scenario, the dissipated bulk kinetic energy of TeV BL Lac objects can provide relativistic electrons for radiation, and their initial magnetic fields are under equipartition with the emitting electrons. |
