在AGN吸积盘中测试热后处理

Testing thermal reprocessing in AGN accretion discs

E. M. Cackett, K. Horne, H. Winkler

摘要:

活动星系核中的热再加工假设,即EUV/X射线光子被吸积盘再加工成光学/UV光子,预测了不同波长的光学连续谱之间的波长依赖的时间延迟。Sergeev等人最近的光度监测表明,在14 AGN中观察到了时间延迟,并且通常随着波长的增加而增加,正如后处理方案中所预测的那样。我们使用光盘再处理模型拟合观测到的时间延迟和光谱能量分布。该模型提供了估计的核红化,产品的黑洞质量乘以吸积率,和距离每个对象。然而,表面上的距离给出了H_0 = 44 +/- 5 km/s/Mpc --比普遍接受的小1.6倍。我们讨论了这对再加工模型的影响。

英文摘要:

The thermal reprocessing hypothesis in AGN, where EUV/X-ray photons are reprocessed by the accretion disc into optical/UV photons, predicts wavelength-dependent time delays between the optical continuum at different wavelengths. Recent photometric monitoring by Sergeev et al. has shown that the time-delay is observed in 14 AGN, and generally seen to increase with increasing wavelength, as predicted in the reprocessing scenario. We fit the observed time delays and optical spectral energy distribution using a disc reprocessing model. The model delivers estimates for the nuclear reddening, the product of black hole mass times accretion rate, and the distance to each object. However, the distances at face value give H_0 = 44 +/- 5 km/s/Mpc - a factor of 1.6 smaller than generally accepted. We discuss the implications of this on the reprocessing model.
