低红移类星体中扩展的发射线区域:对核光谱性质的依赖

Extended emission-line regions in low-redshift quasars: Dependence on nuclear spectral properties

B. Husemann, L. Wisotzki, S. F. Sánchez, K. Jahnke

摘要:

我们寻找存在的扩展发射线区域(EELRs)周围的低红移类星体。我们用积分场光谱方法观测了20个射电宁静的低红移类星体(z<0.3)。在分解扩展和核发射分量后,我们构建了EELR的[OIII] 5007窄带图像来测量总通量。从相同的数据中,我们获得了高S/N(>50)的核谱,以测量[OIII]/H β通量比,Fe II等效宽度和H β线宽等特性。相当一部分类星体(8/20)显示出明亮的EELR,检测到的线性尺寸为几kpc。类星体是否具有发光的EELR与核性质密切相关,在这个意义上,EELR在具有低Fe II等效宽度和大H β FWHM的物体中被检测到。在具有较大黑洞质量的类星体中优先检测到EELR。然而,EELR探测与类星体光度和爱丁顿比之间没有明显的关系。

英文摘要:

We searched for the presence of extended emission-line regions (EELRs) around low-redshift QSOs. We observed a sample of 20 mainly radio-quiet low-redshift quasars (z<0.3) by means of integral field spectroscopy. After decomposing the extended and nuclear emission components, we constructed [OIII] 5007 narrow-band images of the EELR to measure the total flux. From the same data we obtained high S/N (>50) nuclear spectra to measure properties such as [OIII]/Hbeta flux ratios, FeII equivalent widths and Hbeta line widths. A significant fraction of the quasars (8/20) show a luminous EELR, with detected linear sizes of several kpc. Whether or not a QSO has a luminous EELR is strongly related with nuclear properties, in the sense that an EELR was detected in objects with low FeII equivalent width and large Hbeta FWHM. The EELRs were detected preferentially in QSOs with larger black hole masses. There is no discernible relation, however, between EELR detection and QSO luminosity and Eddington ratio.
