摘要:

本文对斯隆数字巡天观测到的900多个宽线活动星系核(AGN)进行了恒星速度色散(σ_*)测量和中心黑洞(BH)质量估算。样本包括红移z=0.452的天体,高质量的光谱,以及由早期类型(凸起)成分主导的宿主星系光谱。AGN和宿主星系的光谱成分分解使用本征谱技术。BH质量(M_BH)由AGN宽线宽估算,速度色散由宿主星系的恒星吸收光谱测量。样本覆盖的黑洞质量范围约为10^6 < M_BH < 10^9 M_Sun。宿主星系的光度-速度色散关系遵循早型星系著名的Faber-Jackson关系,斜率为4.33 ± 0.21。估计的BH质量与宿主光度(L_{H})和恒星速度色散(σ_*)相关,类似于在低红移、膨胀主导星系中发现的关系。相关性中的内在分散性很大(~0.4 dex),但非常大的样本量允许对平均值关系进行严格约束:M_BH ~ L_H^{0.73+-0.05}和M_BH ~ σ_*^{3.34+-0.24}。M_BH-σ_* 关系的振幅依赖于估计的爱丁顿比,使得具有较大爱丁顿比的物体在给定速度色散下具有比预期小的黑洞质量。

英文摘要:

We have measured the stellar velocity dispersions (σ_*) and estimated the central black hole (BH) masses for over 900 broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) observed with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The sample includes objects which have redshifts up to z=0.452, high quality spectra, and host galaxy spectra dominated by an early-type (bulge) component. The AGN and host galaxy spectral components were decomposed using an eigenspectrum technique. The BH masses (M_BH) were estimated from the AGN broad-line widths, and the velocity dispersions were measured from the stellar absorption spectra of the host galaxies. The range of black hole masses covered by the sample is approximately 10^6 < M_BH < 10^9 M_Sun. The host galaxy luminosity-velocity dispersion relationship follows the well-known Faber-Jackson relation for early-type galaxies, with a power-law slope 4.33+-0.21. The estimated BH masses are correlated with both the host luminosities (L_{H}) and the stellar velocity dispersions (σ_*), similar to the relationships found for low-redshift, bulge-dominated galaxies. The intrinsic scatter in the correlations are large (~0.4 dex), but the very large sample size allows tight constraints to be placed on the mean relationships: M_BH ~ L_H^{0.73+-0.05} and M_BH ~ σ_*^{3.34+-0.24}. The amplitude of the M_BH-σ_* relation depends on the estimated Eddington ratio, such that objects with larger Eddington ratios have smaller black hole masses than expected at a given velocity dispersion.
