极宽吸收线类星体的物理性质

The Physical Nature of Polar Broad Absorption Line Quasars

Kajal K. Ghosh, Brian Punsly

摘要:

Zhou等人最近的文章基于射电变率论证指出,某些宽吸收线类星体(BALQSO)是沿极轴(垂直于吸积盘)观测的。这些论证是基于亮温$T_{b}$超过$10^{12} ^{\circ}$ K,这将导致著名的逆康普顿灾变,除非射电喷流是相对论的,并沿其轴观测。在这封信中,我们扩大周等人的极性BALQSO的样本,整个SDSS DR 5。在此过程中,我们澄清了他们计算亮温时的一个错误。高$T_{b}$ BALQSO的扩展样本具有非常大的LoBALQSO(低电离BALQSO)分数。我们认为这是了解极地BALQSO性质的重要线索。这是预期在极BALQSO分析/数值模型的Punsly中LoBALQSO发生时,视线非常接近极轴,流出密度是最高的。

英文摘要:

It has been shown based on radio variability arguments that some BALQSOs (broad absorption line quasars) are viewed along the polar axis (orthogonal to accretion disk) in the recent article of Zhou et al. These arguments are based on the brightness temperature, $T_{b}$ exceeding $10^{12} ^{\circ}$ K which leads to the well-known inverse Compton catastrophe unless the radio jet is relativistic and is viewed along its axis. In this letter, we expand the Zhou et al sample of polar BALQSOs to the entire SDSS DR5. In the process, we clarify a mistake in their calculation of brightness temperature. The expanded sample of high $T_{b}$ BALQSOS, has an inordinately large fraction of LoBALQSOs (low ionization BALQSOs). We consider this an important clue to understanding the nature of the polar BALQSOs. This is expected in the polar BALQSO analytical/numerical models of Punsly in which LoBALQSOs occur when the line of sight is very close to the polar axis, where the outflow density is the highest.
