活动星系核的红外光谱诊断

Infrared spectroscopic diagnostics for Active Galactic Nuclei

Luigi Spinoglio

摘要:

中红外和远红外的红外光谱为研究活动星系的发射区提供了强有力的诊断。离子精细结构线的种类繁多,可以探测各种物理条件下的气体条件,从黑洞吸积产生的光子激发的高度电离气体到年轻恒星系统的光电离气体。这些跃迁的临界密度和电离势允许完全覆盖密度电离参数空间。给出了中红外和远红外离子精细结构谱线比值图的一些例子。即将建立的赫歇尔空间天文台将能够观测本地活动星系大样本的远红外光谱。基于观测到的模板星系NGC1068的近远红外发射线谱,给出了高红移星系的线通量的预测。要观察遥远星系的光谱大样本,我们将不得不等待未来的太空任务,如SPICA和最终的FIRI。

英文摘要:

Infrared spectroscopy in the mid- and far-infrared provides powerful diagnostics for studying the emission regions in active galaxies. The large variety of ionic fine structure lines can probe gas conditions in a variety of physical conditions, from highly ionized gas excited by photons originated by black hole accretion to gas photoionized by young stellar systems. The critical density and the ionization potential of these transitions allow to fully cover the density-ionization parameter space. Some examples of line ratios diagrams using both mid-infrared and far-infrared ionic fine structure lines are presented. The upcoming space observatory Herschel will be able to observe the far-infrared spectra of large samples of local active galaxies. Based on the observed near-to-far infrared emission line spectrum of the template galaxy NGC1068, are presented the predictions for the line fluxes expected for galaxies at high redshift. To observe spectroscopically large samples of distant galaxies, we will have to wait fot the future space missions, like SPICA and, ultimately, FIRI.
