Variability studies of the LHAASO triggered flares in blazar 1ES 1959+650

After the real-time monitoring system based on LHAASO-WCDA was established at the end of 2023, a few flaring events from active galactic nuclei at Teraelectronvolt (TeV) energies have been triggered. The first event from blazar 1ES 1959+650, so-called “Dragon flare”, was triggered on February 9th, 2024, the eve of the Year of the Dragon. Another flaring event from 1ES 1959+650 was triggered about 40 days later, with relative lower luminosity. Detail analysis at multi-wavelength was carried in this work. We report a rare and significant time delay of approximately 6.6 days between the TeV and GeV emissions during the second triggered flaring event, suggesting an acceleration process within the jet.

Abstract

After the real-time monitoring system based on LHAASO-WCDA was established at the end of 2023, a few flaring events from active galactic nuclei at Teraelectronvolt (TeV) energies have been triggered. The first event from blazar 1ES 1959+650, so-called “Dragon flare”, was triggered on February 9th, 2024, the eve of the Year of the Dragon. Another flaring event from 1ES 1959+650 was triggered about 40 days later, with relative lower luminosity. Detail analysis at multi-wavelength was carried in this work. We report a rare and significant time delay of approximately 6.6 days between the TeV and GeV emissions during the second triggered flaring event, suggesting an acceleration process within the jet.
