NGC 2110 Seyfert 2核的瞬态高极化双峰H α发射

Transient and Highly Polarized Double-Peaked H-alpha Emission in the Seyfert 2 Nucleus of NGC 2110

摘要:

我们在NGC 2110的偏振通量谱中发现了一条非常宽的双峰H-α发射线,确定了这个经过充分研究的Seyfert 2星系包含一个盘状隐藏宽线区(BLR)。NGC 2110的一些性质表明它是Arp 102 B的一个模糊的孪生子,Arp 102 B是典型的双峰发射线活动星系核(AGN)。我们的数据和NGC 2110以前的光谱之间的比较表明,双峰H-α功能是短暂的。NGC 2110中盘状BLR的存在对活动星系核具有重要意义:它扩展了Seyfert 2星系所表现出的性质范围,并且BLR被环形结构所掩盖的事实提供了第一个证据,证明双峰发射体和经典Seyfert核可能具有相同的基本秒差距尺度几何形状。

英文摘要:

We have discovered an extremely broad, double-peaked H-alpha emission line in the polarized flux spectrum of NGC 2110, establishing that this well-studied Seyfert 2 galaxy contains a disk-like hidden broad-line region (BLR). Several properties of NGC 2110 suggest that it is an obscured twin of Arp 102B, the prototypical double-peaked emission-line active galactic nucleus (AGN). A comparison between our data and previous spectra of NGC 2110 indicates that the double-peaked H-alpha feature is transient. The presence of a disk-like BLR in NGC 2110 has important implications for AGNs: it expands the range of properties exhibited by Seyfert 2 galaxies, and the fact that the BLR is obscured by a torus-like structure provides the first evidence that double-peaked emitters and classical Seyfert nuclei may have the same basic parsec-scale geometry.
