Correlations of the IR Luminosity and Eddington Ratio with a Hard X-ray Selected Sample of AGN

R. F. Mushotzky, L. M. Winter, D. H. McIntosh, J. Tueller

摘要:

利用SWIFT暴告警望远镜(BAT)选取的中位红移为0.03的活动星系核(AGN)硬X射线样品和2 MASS J、K波段光度计,研究了活动星系核硬X射线辐射与爱丁顿比的关系以及J、K波段核光度与硬X射线光度的关系。BAT样本几乎不受遮蔽效应的影响,因此为检查不同波长带之间的相关性提供了第一个大的无偏样本。我们发现,近红外核J和K带的光度与BAT(14 - 195 keV)的光度的$10^3$在光度($L_{IR} \approx L_{BAT}^{1.25}$)的一个因素,因此是不太可能是由于灰尘。我们还发现爱丁顿比与X射线亮度成正比。这一新的结果应该是一个强有力的约束模型的宽带连续的形成。

英文摘要:

We use the SWIFT Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) sample of hard x-ray selected active galactic nuclei (AGN) with a median redshift of 0.03 and the 2MASS J and K band photometry to examine the correlation of hard x-ray emission to Eddington ratio as well as the relationship of the J and K band nuclear luminosity to the hard x-ray luminosity. The BAT sample is almost unbiased by the effects of obscuration and thus offers the first large unbiased sample for the examination of correlations between different wavelength bands. We find that the near-IR nuclear J and K band luminosity is related to the BAT (14 - 195 keV) luminosity over a factor of $10^3$ in luminosity ($L_{IR} \approx L_{BAT}^{1.25}$)and thus is unlikely to be due to dust. We also find that the Eddington ratio is proportional to the x-ray luminosity. This new result should be a strong constraint on models of the formation of the broad band continuum.
