High energy properties of PKS 1830-211
Abstract
We report on an analysis of X- and -ray observations of PKS 1830-211, based on the long-term campaigns carried out by \emph{INTEGRAL} and COMPTEL. The \emph{INTEGRAL} data currently available present a significance detection in the 20-100 keV band, while the COMPTEL 6-years data provide a significance detection in the 1-3 MeV energy band. At hard X-rays, \emph{INTEGRAL} and supplementary \emph{SWIFT} observations show flux variability on timescales of months. At -rays, the source shows persistent emission over years. The hard X-ray spectrum is well represented by a power-law model, with in the 20-250 keV band. This photon index is well consistent with the previous report of obtained at keV from the best fit of \emph{XMM-Newton} data with a broken power law model. The joint \emph{XMM-Newton}/\emph{INTEGRAL} spectrum presented here is then fit with a broken power-law model and the parameters are refined compared to the previous. The results show the photon index changes from to at a break energy keV. At MeV energies, the spectrum softens to . These results, together with the EGRET measurement at MeV, constitute a broad-band spectrum containing the peak of the power output at MeV energies, similar to most high-luminosity -ray blazars. The measured spectral characterstics are then discussed in the framework of the gravitational lens effects.
