BL Lacertae 2022 flare project[edit]

Major flare from BL Lacertae between September and November 2022, one of the (if not the) longest VHE flare observed from the source, and the brightest together with the 2021 flare.

We aim to characterize the VHE and MWL variability during the flare, both in flux and spectral variability, with focus on the intranight minute timescale variations in the VHE band, and to perform a sort of time dependent modelling of the emission to interpret the evolution of the flare in terms of physical mechanisms and paramters.

Energy threshold[edit]

Calculated from the dark MCs up to the Zd of BL Lac observations (evaluated from the MCs between 30 and 60 deg): ~80 GeV

Ethreshold dark.png

Calculated from the moon NSB-tuned MCs up to the Zd of BL Lac observations (evaluated from the MCs between 30 and 60 deg , to be re-evaluated with tuned-NSB+tuned-cleaning MCs): ~100 GeV

Ethreshold moon.png

NOTES ON THE ENERGY THRESHOLD CALCULATION:

  • For the dark data, the distribution is calculated in a rather conservative way, with MCs >32deg Zd.
  • For moon data:
    • The distribution is calculated above 10deg (~minimum of BL Lacs observations)
    • Above 30deg the Eth is ~130 GeV
    • Only 9 runs with moon above 40 deg zenith, most of the data (except ~3 hours) described by an Eth<100-130 GeV
    • 21 runs remaining <30deg Zd, where the Eth is 130 GeV or less (~100 GeV for the lowest zeniths)

Jorge's Analysis Results[edit]

We produce the stacked and daily theta2 plots and average SED.

With the average SED, a preliminary LC is also computed and a Bayesian Block analysis. We then calculate the SED of each BB to look for spectral variability (see below the BB definition).

For a more precise LC, we then use the SED of each block to calculate the LC block by block to build the long-term final LC. This is to avoid miscalculations in the integral flux caused by using the wrong spectral shape if there is strong spectral variability.

We take as reference the energy threshold estimated from the moon MCs for the minimum energy in which we integrate the flux for the LC. This energy threshold is specified above.

Configuration of the analysis:

  • E_reco=[20,20000] GeV
  • E_true=[10,50000] GeV
  • n_bins_reco=5-10 (depending on the flux level)
  • n_bins_true=10-20 (depending on the flux level)
  • E_fit=[20,20000] GeV
  • Spectral shape: Log parabola+EBL (Saldaña-Lopez21, z=0.069)
  • Analysis type: stack
  • LC energy: 3 different Emin tested to account for possible threshold increase due to moon
    • E=[100,20000] GeV
    • E=[150,20000] GeV
    • E=[200,20000] GeV

Lightcurve[edit]

Complete LC calculated as detailed above (using the SED of each BB, shown below, for the flux integration). We test different energy mins as specified above.

Flux value for Emin = 100 GeV (average flux calculated only from significant flux points, i.e. TS>4)

  • Average flux:
  • Maximum flux (nightwise): (9.9 +/- 0.2)e-10 cm-2 s-1 = 2.1 C.U.

Flux value for Emin = 150 GeV (average flux calculated only from significant flux points, i.e. TS>4)

  • Average flux:
  • Maximum flux (nightwise): (4.7 +/- 0.2)e-10 cm-2 s-1 = 1.6 C.U.

Flux value for Emin = 200 GeV (average flux calculated only from significant flux points, i.e. TS>4)

  • Average flux:
  • Maximum flux (nightwise): (2.7 +/- 0.1)e-10 cm-2 s-1 = 1.4 C.U.

We also calculate the intranight lightcurves for the nights of Oct. 20 and Nov. 13, 2022.

For the former, given that it is all dark data, we use an energy threshold of 100 GeV, and we compare a 5-min (left) and a 10-min binning (right).

  • Average flux: f = (9.9 +/- 0.2)e-10 cm-2 s-1 = 2.1 C.U.
  • Maximum flux: f = (2.0 +/- 0.2)e-9 cm-2 s-1 = 4.3 C.U.

For the latter we test as Emin 100 GeV, 150 GeV and 200 GeV due to the moon, with a 5-min binning.

Flux value for Emin = 100 GeV

  • Average flux: f = (8.4 +/- 0.3)e-10 cm-2 s-1 = 1.8 C.U.
  • Maximum flux: f = (1.8 +/- 0.1)e-9 cm-2 s-1 = 3.8 C.U.

Flux value for Emin = 150 GeV

  • Average flux: f = (4.5 +/- 0.2)e-10 cm-2 s-1 = 1.5 C.U.
  • Maximum flux: f = (9.1 +/- 0.8)e-10 cm-2 s-1 = 3.1 C.U.

Flux value for Emin = 200 GeV

  • Average flux: f = (2.7 +/- 0.1)e-10 cm-2 s-1 = 1.4 C.U.
  • Maximum flux: f = (5.1 +/- 0.5)e-10 cm-2 s-1 = 2.5 C.U.

Spectral results[edit]

Average SED (parameters correspond to the EBL-corrected spectrum using the EBL model from Saldaña-Lopez 2021)

BLLac average SED.png

  • f0 = (4.28 +/- 0.17)e-13 GeV-1 cm-2 s-1
  • E0 = 223 GeV
  • alpha = 2.97 +/- 0.04
  • beta = 0.13 +/- 0.04
  • alpha_norm = 1
  • redshift = 0.069

We calculate also the SED of each Bayesian Block (also considering a log-parabola plus EBL). BB4 and BB8 correspond to the nights of Oct. 20 and Nov. 13, 2022, respectively.
