X-Ray Observation of the BL Lac Object OJ287 with ASCA
Preliminary abstract (12 lines max.):
We present ASCA observation results of OJ287 in November 1994.
Observed X-ray flux was fainter than those from previous observations.
The X-ray spectrum is described well with a single power law model,
although, convex broken power law model is also acceptable.
The slope is flatter than those previously reported,
and X-rays exceeds the extrapolation from radio/IR/optical/UV spectrum.
This suggests strongly that X-rays include an additional component to
radio to UV single synchrotron emission.
It is likely that the X-rays from OJ287 contain synchrotron-self-Compton emission.
A few hours scale variability was also detected with a
soft-lagged behavior known as a characteristic of synchrotron emission.
