低光度AGN中喷流驱动的盘吸积?

Jet-Driven Disk Accretion in Low Luminosity AGN?

Erin J. D. Jolley, Zdenka Kuncic

摘要:

我们探索了一个低光度活动星系核(LLAGN)的吸积模型,该模型将低辐射输出归因于低质量吸积率而不是低辐射效率。在这个模型中,电子被假定为无碰撞等离子体微不稳定性的结果,从离子中消耗能量。因此,吸积气体在小半径处坍缩形成几何上薄的盘,并且能够在到达黑洞之前冷却。然而,吸积盘不是标准盘,因为径向盘的结构被驱动喷流的磁矩改变,并且主要负责角动量传输。我们还包括相对论效应。我们将此模型应用到著名的LLAGN M87,并计算了组合盘喷流稳态宽带谱。预测光谱和观测光谱的比较表明,M87可能是一个旋转最大的黑洞,以每年10^{-3}太阳质量的速度吸积。对于相同的辐射效率,这比爱丁顿速率低大约6个数量级。此外,我们的模型推断的总喷流功率是在非常好的协议独立推导出的值从观测的M87喷流千秒差距尺度。

英文摘要:

We explore an accretion model for low luminosity AGN (LLAGN) that attributes the low radiative output to a low mass accretion rate rather than a low radiative efficiency. In this model, electrons are assumed to drain energy from the ions as a result of collisionless plasma microinstabilities. Consequently, the accreting gas collapses to form a geometrically thin disk at small radii and is able to cool before reaching the black hole. The accretion disk is not a standard disk, however, because the radial disk structure is modified by a magnetic torque which drives a jet and which is primarily responsible for angular momentum transport. We also include relativistic effects. We apply this model to the well known LLAGN M87 and calculate the combined disk-jet steady-state broadband spectrum. A comparison between predicted and observed spectra indicates that M87 may be a maximally spinning black hole accreting at a rate of 10^{-3} solar masses per year. This is about 6 orders of magnitude below the Eddington rate for the same radiative efficiency. Furthermore, the total jet power inferred by our model is in remarkably good agreement with the value independently deduced from observations of the M87 jet on kiloparsec scales.
