射电星系中的环核HI盘:Cen A和B2 0258+35的情况

Circumnuclear HI disks in radio galaxies: The case of Cen A and B2 0258+35

Christian Struve, Raffaella Morganti, Tom A. Oosterloo

摘要:

对附近射电强星系Centaurus A和B2 0258+35的新的HI观测表明,对未分辨的核有广泛的吸收(Delta_v= 400 km/s)。这两个来源属于蓝移和红移吸收的情况下,同时观察到。在之前的Cen A观测中,只检测到相对较窄范围的红移吸收。我们表明,数据表明,在这两种情况下,存在一个环核盘。Cen A的核吸收可能是CO和H_2中所见的分子环核盘的原子对应物。现在需要更高分辨率的观测来定位吸收并进一步研究活动星系核中心区域的结构和运动学以及活动星系核的燃料供给方式。

英文摘要:

New HI observations of the nearby radio-loud galaxies Centaurus A and B2 0258+35 show broad absorption (Delta_v=400km/s) against the unresolved nuclei. Both sources belong to the cases where blue- and redshifted absorption is observed at the same time. In previous Cen A observations only a relative narrow range of redshifted absorption was detected. We show that the data suggest in both cases the existence of a circumnuclear disk. For Cen A the nuclear absorption might be the atomic counterpart of the molecular circumnuclear disk that is seen in CO and H_2. Higher resolution observations are now needed to locate the absorption and to further investigate the structure and kinematics of the central region of the AGN and the way the AGN are fueled.
