AGN环境中的微波激射器

Masers in AGN environments

L. J. Greenhill

摘要:

星系核是众所周知的OH和H2O脉泽发射源。看来,在超亮红外星系中强烈的恒星形成驱动了大多数OH源。相比之下,核活动似乎驱动大多数H2O源。当H2O发射起源于吸积盘结构时,受约束的几何形状和动力学使得能够对光谱和成像数据进行稳健的解释。主要科学包括研究活动星系核在秒差距和次秒差距半径的几何形状,以及测量哈勃流中的几何距离。从脉泽距离获得的哈勃常数“Ho”的新的高精度估计可能使对基本宇宙学参数的新的实质性改进的约束成为可能(例如,暗能量)。

英文摘要:

Galactic nuclei are well known sources of OH and H2O maser emission. It appears that intense star formation in ultra-luminous infrared galaxies drives most OH sources. In contrast, nuclear activity appears to drive most H2O sources. When H2O emission originates in accretion disk structures, constrained geometry and dynamics enable robust interpretation of spectroscopic and imaging data. The principal science includes study of AGN geometry at parsec and sub-parsec radii and measurement of geometric distances in the Hubble Flow. New high accuracy estimates of the Hubble constant, "Ho," obtained from maser distances may enable new substantively improved constraints on fundamental cosmological parameters (e.g., dark energy).
