摘要:

在Garcia-Rissmann等人2005年的一篇论文中,我们给出了64个活动星系、9个正常星系和5个星暴星系在近红外钙三重态吸收线和[SIII]9069线附近区域的光谱。在本文中,我们分析了CaT强度(WCaT),并在该研究中,即恒星和电离气体的速度色散的运动学产品。我们的主要结果可以概括如下:(1)Seyfert 2s的WCaT值与正常星系的WCaT值相比没有稀释的迹象,即使在3933 A处的CaII K带的光吸收线比老的、球状的恒星星族弱得多的情况下也是如此。(2)Seyfert 2s在WCaT-WCaK平面上的位置与演化合成模型一致。这意味着,在这些活动星系核中的光线稀释的来源是一个年轻的恒星星族,而不是一个活动星系核的无特征的连续体,证实了Terlevich,Diaz和Terlevich的先驱研究的结论。(3)在Seyfert 1 s中,W[SIII]和WCaT都倾向于由于非恒星成分的存在而被稀释,这与统一范式一致。(4)恒星和气体的速度色散的比较证实了存在的相关性的典型速度的恒星和云的窄线区域。围绕该相关性的强度和分散类似于先前从[OIII]5007线宽获得的那些。

英文摘要:

In a former paper (Garcia-Rissmann et al. 2005; hereafter Paper I), we have presented spectra of 64 active, 9 normal and 5 Starburst galaxies in the region around the near-IR Calcium triplet absorption lines and the [SIII]9069 line. In the present paper we analyze the CaT strength (WCaT), and kinematical products derived in that study, namely stellar and ionized gas velocity dispersions. Our main results may be summarized as follows: (1) Seyfert 2s show no sign of dilution in WCaT with respect to the values spanned by normal galaxies, even when optical absorption lines such as the CaII K band at 3933 A are much weaker than in old, bulge-like stellar populations. (2) The location of Seyfert 2s in the WCaT-WCaK plane is consistent with evolutionary synthesis models. The implication is that the source responsible for the dilution of optical lines in these AGN is a young stellar population, rather than an AGN featureless continuum, confirming the conclusion of the pioneer study of Terlevich, Diaz & Terlevich. (3) In Seyfert 1s, both W[SIII] and WCaT tend to be diluted due to the presence of a non-stellar component, in agreement with the unification paradigm. (4) A comparison of stellar and gas velocity dispersions confirms the existence of a correlation between the typical velocities of stars and clouds of the Narrow Line Region. The strength and scatter around this correlation are similar to those previously obtained from the [OIII]5007 line width.
