吸积盘中的恒星形成:从银河系中心到活动星系核

Star formation in accretion discs : from the Galactic Center to Active Galactic Nuclei

Suzy Collin, Jean-Paul Zahn

摘要:

大质量黑洞(MBH)周围的开普勒吸积盘在超过百分之几秒差距的引力下是不稳定的,应该会坍缩形成恒星。事实上,几百万年前在银河系中心(GC)发生了一次吸积/恒星形成事件。这就提出了一个问题,即圆盘如何在活动星系核和类星体中生存下来,并继续向黑洞输送物质。我们研究的吸积/恒星形成过程中,一个目标在脑海中,显示的光谱类似于所观察到的活动星系核一个可以产生的光盘。我们计算模型的固定吸积盘,连续和clueries。连续的圆盘必须保持在一个边缘稳定的状态,以保持适度的恒星形成速率,因此它们需要额外的加热和角动量的传输。非粘性加热可以由恒星照明提供,但超新星的动量传输不足以维持边缘状态,除了在盘的边缘。在星云盘中,可以通过云之间的相互作用来解释所需的吸积速率,但这个模型并不令人满意,因为它的参数受到严格的限制,没有任何物理依据。最后,我们必须求助于像GC中发生的那些具有间歇性吸积事件的非静止盘,但这样的模型可能不适用于发光的高红移类星体,也不适用于射电噪声类星体。

英文摘要:

Keplerian accretion discs around massive black holes (MBHs) are gravitationally unstable beyond a few hundredths of parsec and should collapse to form stars. Indeed an accretion/star formation episode took place a few millions years ago in the Galactic Center (GC). This raises the question of how the disc can survive in AGN and quasars and continue to transport matter towards the black hole. We study the accretion/star formation process, with one aim in mind, to show that a spectrum similar to the observed AGN one can be produced by the disc. We compute models of stationary accretion discs, both continuous and clumpy. Continuous discs must be maintained in a state of marginal stability for the rate of star formation to remain modest, so they require additional heating and transport of angular momentum. Non-viscous heating can be provided by stellar illumination, but momentum transport by supernovae is insufficient to sustain a marginal state, except at the very periphery of the disc. In clumpy discs it is possible to account for the required accretion rate through interactions between clouds, but this model is unsatisfactory as its parameters are tightly constrained without any physical justification. Finally one must appeal to non-stationary discs with intermittent accretion episodes like those that occurred in the GC, but such a model is probably not applicable to luminous high redshift quasars neither to radio-loud quasars.
