- W2009496166 abstract "The X-ray luminosity of 3C 120 is variable by a factor of 2.5 on time scales of days to months. The spectral slope of the 2-10 keV X-rays changes systematically in the sense that the higher intensity states are steeper. Simple power laws fitted to the data are consistent with an energy index alpha of 0.51 + or - 0.13 at minimum intensity and 0.83 + or - 0.03 at maximum, with a continuous variation in between. A more complicated spectral shape cannot be ruled out, but changes in absorbing column density alone cannot explain the data. The results are interpreted in terms of beamed synchrotron emission from a relativistic jet, a model which has been invoked previously for the spectra of BL Lac objects. The spectral variability is in marked contrast to the behavior of 3C 273, another superluminal source in which the X-ray spectral index is constant to a high degree of accuracy despite variability in time scales and amplitudes which are quite similar to those of 3C 120. The difference may be due to the degree of beaming of the respective core components. Another model which is consistent with the data involves thermal emission from isothermal shocks in a hot (approximately 10 to the 8th K) medium. Thermal Compton and spherical accretion X-ray source models do not reproduce the correct behavior of alpha versus flux." @default.
