活动星系核中相对论喷流的洛伦兹因子分布和光度函数

The Lorentz factor distribution and luminosity function of relativistic jets in AGNs

Yuan Liu, Shuang Nan Zhang

摘要:

由于强烈的特殊相对论效应,活动星系核中相对论喷流的视速度和视亮度与其本征值有很大的差异。我们采用极大似然法同时确定了一个活动星系核样本的内禀光度函数和洛伦兹因子分布。最佳估计参数的值与以前的结果是一致的,但具有更好的精度。在以往的研究中,我们假设Fanaroff-Riley II型射电星系的观测光度函数与射电大声类星体的内禀光度函数形状相同。我们的结果证明了这一假设的有效性。我们还发现,低和高红移组除以z=0.1可能是来自不同的父母群体。

英文摘要:

The observed apparent velocities and luminosities of the relativistic jets in AGNs are significantly different from their intrinsic values due to strong special relativistic effects. We adopt the maximum likelihood method to determine simultaneously the intrinsic luminosity function and the Lorentz factor distribution of a sample of AGNs. The values of the best estimated parameters are consistent with the previous results, but with much better accuracy. In previous study, it was assumed that the shape of the observed luminosity function of Fanaroff-Riley type II radio galaxies is the same with the intrinsic luminosity function of radio loud quasars. Our results prove the validity of this assumption. We also find that low and high redshift groups divided by z=0.1 are likely to be from different parent populations.
