摘要:

朱雀观测到附近的塞弗特2星系NGC 4945,它拥有20 keV以上最明亮的活动星系核之一。结合X射线CCD相机(XIS)和硬X射线探测器(HXD)的数据,同时观测活动星系核的本征核发射及其再处理信号。本征发射被$\sim 5 \times 10^{24}$ cm $^{-2}$的吸收柱高度遮蔽,并且仅在高于$\sim 10$ keV时可检测到。低于10 keV的光谱主要由反射连续谱和中性/电离材料的发射线组成。与中性铁K $α$线一起,首次从该来源检测到中性铁K $β$和中性镍K $α$线。中性线和冷反射连续谱是一致的,两者都起源于同一位置。中性Fe-K $α$线的康普顿下散射肩是窄芯磁通量中的$\sim 10%$,这证实该线起源于反射而不是透射。康普顿肩的弱点也表明,反射体可能几乎是从侧面看到的。本征发射的通量在$\sim 20$ ks内以$\sim 2$的因子变化,这要求遮蔽材料在几何上是薄的。宽带光谱模拟表明,中性反射体的立体角小于几个$\times 10^{-2} \times 2π$。所有这些关于再处理信号的证据表明,从近边缘角度观察到的是盘状吸收器/反射器。

英文摘要:

Suzaku observed a nearby Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC4945, which hosts one of the brightest active galactic nuclei above 20 keV. Combining data from the X-ray CCD camera (XIS) and the Hard X-ray Detector (HXD), the AGN intrinsic nuclear emission and its reprocessed signals were observed simultaneously. The intrinsic emission is highly obscured with an absorbing column of $\sim 5 \times 10^{24}$ cm$^{-2}$, and was detectable only above $\sim 10$ keV. The spectrum below 10 keV is dominated by reflection continuum and emission lines from neutral/ionized material. Along with a neutral iron K$α$ line, a neutral iron K$β$ and a neutral nickel K$α$ line were detected for the first time from this source. The neutral lines and the cold reflection continuum are consistent with both originating in the same location. The Compton down-scattered shoulder in the neutral Fe-K$α$ line is $\sim 10%$ in flux of the narrow core, which confirms that the line originates from reflection rather than transmission. The weakness of the Compton shoulder also indicates that the reflector is probably seen nearly edge-on. Flux of the intrinsic emission varied by a factor of $\sim 2$ within $\sim 20$ ks, which requires the obscuring material to be geometrically thin. Broadband spectral modeling showed that the solid angle of the neutral reflector is less than a few $\times 10^{-2} \times 2π$. All this evidence regarding the reprocessed signals suggests that a disk-like absorber/reflector is viewed from a near edge-on angle.
