活动星系核喷流功率的简化模型

A simplified model of jet power from active galactic nuclei

摘要:

目标。本文提出了一个活动星系核喷流功率的简化模型,将吸积盘与黑洞吸积盘的两种磁吸能机制结合起来,讨论了喷流功率与吸积盘光度的关系,Blandford-Payne(BP)和Blandford-Znajek(BZ)过程。方法.将BP过程纳入质量守恒、角动量守恒和能量守恒定律中,导出了BP功率和盘光度的表达式,并将喷流功率视为BZ和BP功率之和。结果我们发现,磁盘的辐射通量和光度下降,因为一小部分的吸积能量被引导到外流/喷流在BP过程。研究发现,吸积盘的主导冷却方式主要取决于极向磁场随喷注圆柱半径的减小而减小的程度。通过使用我们发现的参数空间,其中包括黑洞自旋和冻结在盘中的极向磁场配置的自相似指数,我们能够比较与喷流产生相关的以下量的相对重要性:(1)BP功率与盘亮度的关系,(2)BP功率与BZ功率的关系,(3)喷流功率与盘亮度的关系。此外,我们还拟合了11个平谱射电类星体(FSRQ)和17个陡谱射电类星体(SSRQ)的喷流功率和宽线区光度。

英文摘要:

Aims. A simplified model of jet power from active galactic nuclei is proposed in which the relationship between jet power and disk luminosity is discussed by combining disk accretion with two mechanisms of extracting energy magnetically from a black hole accretion disk, i.e., the Blandford-Payne (BP) and the Blandford-Znajek (BZ) processes. Methods. By including the BP process into the conservation laws of mass, angular momentum and energy, we derive the expressions of the BP power and disk luminosity, and the jet power is regarded as the sum of the BZ and BP powers. Results. We find that the disk radiation flux and luminosity decrease because a fraction of the accretion energy is channelled into the outflow/jet in the BP process. It is found that the dominant cooling mode of the accretion disk is determined mainly by how the poloidal magnetic field decreases with the cylindrical radius of the jet. By using the parameter space we found, which consists of the black hole spin and the self-similar index of the configuration of the poloidal magnetic field frozen in the disk, we were able to compare the relative importance of the following quantities related to the jet production: (1) the BP power versus the disk luminosity, (2) the BP power versus the BZ power, and (3) the jet power versus the disk luminosity. In addition, we fit the jet power and broad-line region luminosity of 11 flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) and 17 steep-spectrum radio quasars (SSRQs) based on our model.
