摘要:

我们目前的结果从一个运动学研究的气体在一个样本的三个LINER星系的核,从档案HST/STIS长缝光谱。我们发现,虽然对于椭圆星系NGC 5077,观测到的速度曲线与围绕星系中心有规律旋转的气体一致,但其余两个物体的情况并非如此。通过对NGC 5077的表面亮度分布和自转曲线的模拟,我们发现在恒星质量分量中加入一个质量为M_bh = 6.8的黑洞,可以精确地再现环核气体的运动学(-2.8,+4.3)10**8 M_sun(1 sigma水平的不确定性);其影响范围的半径(R_sph ~ 0-.34)在HST分辨率下得到很好的分辨。NGC 5077的BH质量估计值与M_bh-M_bul(向上离散度约为0.4 dex)和M_bh-sigma相关性(在Tremaine等人的形式中向上散射为0.5 dex,而在Ferrarese等人的形式中基本上没有散射),并进一步支持了M_bh-σ相关性和凸起有效半径。这表明存在一个黑洞的“基本面”,在这个意义上,至少西格玛和R_e的组合驱动M_bh和主机凸起属性之间的相关性。

英文摘要:

We present results from a kinematical study of the gas in the nucleus of a sample of three LINER galaxies, obtained from archival HST/STIS long-slit spectra. We found that, while for the elliptical galaxy NGC 5077, the observed velocity curves are consistent with gas in regular rotation around the galaxy's center, this is not the case for the two remaining objects. By modeling the surface brightness distribution and rotation curve from the emission lines in NGC 5077, we found that the observed kinematics of the circumnuclear gas can be accurately reproduced by adding to the stellar mass component a black hole mass of M_bh = 6.8 (-2.8,+4.3) 10**8 M_sun (uncertainties at a 1 sigma level); the radius of its sphere of influence (R_sph ~ 0".34) is well-resolved at the HST resolution. The BH mass estimate in NGC 5077 is in fairly good agreement with both the M_bh-M_bul (with an upward scatter of ~ 0.4 dex) and M_bh-sigma correlations (with an upward scatter of 0.5 dex in the Tremaine et al. form and essentially no scatter using the Ferrarese et al. form) and provides further support for the presence of a connection between the ``residuals'' from the M_bh-sigma correlation and the bulge effective radius. This indicates the presence of a black hole's ``fundamental plane'' in the sense that a combination of at least sigma and R_e drives the correlations between M_bh and host bulge properties.
