摘要:

我们提出了一个分析的5-8微米的斯皮策-IRS光谱的68个局部超铝红外线镓(ULIRGs)的样品。我们的诊断技术允许一个清晰的分离的活动星系核(AGN)和星暴(SB)的组成部分,在所观察到的中红外辐射,和一个简单的分析模型提供了一个定量估计的AGN/星暴的贡献的热光度。我们发现,活动星系核在6微米处比具有相同热光度的星爆亮约30倍,因此即使是微弱的活动星系核也能被探测到。恒星形成事件被确认为极端红外活动的主要动力来源,因为ULIRG光度的约85%来自SB分量。尽管如此,活动星系核还是出现在我们的大多数(46/68)来源中。

英文摘要:

We present an analysis of the 5-8 micron Spitzer-IRS spectra of a sample of 68 local Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs). Our diagnostic technique allows a clear separation of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) and starburst (SB) components in the observed mid-IR emission, and a simple analytic model provides a quantitative estimate of the AGN/starburst contribution to the bolometric luminosity. We show that AGNs are ~30 times brighter at 6 micron than starbursts with the same bolometric luminosity, so that even faint AGNs can be detected. Star formation events are confirmed as the dominant power source for extreme infrared activity, since ~85% of ULIRG luminosity arises from the SB component. Nonetheless an AGN is present in the majority (46/68) of our sources.
