用电离气体盘测量黑洞质量:系统尘埃效应

Black hole mass measurements using ionized gas discs: systematic dust effects

Maarten Baes

摘要:

在真实的星系核模型中使用详细的Monte Carlo辐射转移模拟,我们研究了电离气体盘中星际尘埃对旋转曲线和由此产生的黑洞质量测量的影响。我们发现,吸收和散射的星际尘埃离开的旋转曲线的形状基本不变,但略有降低旋转曲线的中心斜率。因此,“观测到的”黑洞质量被系统地低估了约10%至20%的实际光学深度。因此,我们认为,系统的尘埃衰减的影响时,应考虑估计SMBH质量使用电离气体运动学。

英文摘要:

Using detailed Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulations in realistic models for galactic nuclei, we investigate the influence of interstellar dust in ionized gas discs on the rotation curves and the resulting black hole mass measurements. We find that absorption and scattering by interstellar dust leaves the shape of the rotation curves basically unaltered, but slightly decreases the central slope of the rotation curves. As a result, the "observed" black hole masses are systematically underestimated by some 10 to 20% for realistic optical depths. We therefore argue that the systematic effect of dust attenuation should be taken into account when estimating SMBH masses using ionized gas kinematics.
