摘要:

本文给出了IC 2560的Seyfert 2核的一个新的XMM-牛顿能谱,该核是倾斜的开普勒吸积盘中H $_{2}$ O脉泽发射的宿主。X射线光谱显示出由于多温度电离等离子体的软过剩,硬连续和来自Mg、Si、S、Ca、Fe和Ni的强发射特征,主要是由于荧光。这与来自大部分中性介质的连续谱的反射和由于高柱密度$>$ 10 $^{24}$ cm $^{-2}$引起的遮蔽一致。反射分量的幅度可能超过中心未被遮蔽的亮度的10%。这比在其他Seyfert 2源(如NGC 4945)中观察到的反射分数高出几个百分点。我们观察到一个发射线在6.7千电子伏,可能是由于FeXXV,未检测到在以前的钱德拉观测。与这条线相关的吸收柱密度小于10 $^{23}$ cm $^{-2}$,低于中心源的遮蔽。我们假设,这种高度电离的Fe线发射起源于温暖的气体,也负责的散射成分的连续发射,可能占主导地位的光谱之间的1和3千电子伏。我们比较了IC 2560和其他活动星系核的X射线和脉泽发射特性,这些活动星系核表现出起源于中心引擎周围的盘结构的水脉泽发射。与脉泽作用相关的盘区域的温度与预期的400- 1000 K范围一致。盘状结构的块状性(从脉泽分布推断)可能取决于中心引擎的未被遮蔽的光度。

英文摘要:

We present a new XMM-Newton spectrum of the Seyfert 2 nucleus of IC 2560, which hosts H$_{2}$O maser emission from an inclined Keplerian accretion disk. The X-ray spectrum shows soft excess due to multi-temperature ionized plasma, a hard continuum and strong emission features, from Mg, Si, S, Ca, Fe and Ni, mainly due to fluorescence. It is consistent with reflection of the continuum from a mostly neutral medium and obscuration due to a high column density, $>$ 10$^{24}$ cm$^{-2}$. The amplitude of the reflected component may exceed 10% of the central unobscured luminosity. This is higher than the reflected fraction, of a few percent, observed in other Seyfert 2 sources like NGC 4945. We observe an emission line at 6.7 keV, possibly due to FeXXV, undetected in previous Chandra observations. The absorption column density associated with this line is less than 10$^{23}$ cm$^{-2}$, lower than the obscuration of the central source. We hypothesize that this highly ionized Fe line emission originates in warm gas, also responsible for a scattered component of continuum emission that may dominate the spectrum between 1 and 3 keV. We compare X-ray and maser emission characteristics of IC 2560 and other AGN that exhibit water maser emission originating in disk structures around central engines. The temperature for the region of the disk associated with maser action is consistent with the expected 400-1000K range. The clumpiness of disk structures (inferred from the maser distribution) may depend on the unobscured luminosities of the central engines.
