摘要:

我们分析了用双子座GNIRS IFU获得的塞弗特星系NGC 7582内部660 × 315 pc ^2的二维近红外K带光谱。核中有一个未分辨的辐射源,它可以被温度为1050 K的黑体很好地再现,我们认为这是由离核25秒差距以内的环核尘埃发射的,总质量约为3 × 10 ^{-3}M_Sun。在核心周围,我们观察到一个半径约为190 pc,年龄约为500万年的活跃恒星形成环。环中年轻恒星的辐射至少占在Br伽马发射气体中观测到的电离的80%,其余的是由于活动核发射的辐射。恒星运动学揭示了:(1)径向速度场中的扭曲旋转模式,运动中心明显偏离核源几十秒差距;(2)在σ =170 km/s的凸起中的高速色散;(3)σ =50 km/s的部分环,解释为由于在先前的恒星形成爆发中由冷气体形成的恒星。电离气体的运动学显示了一个额外的蓝移分量,其速度> 100 km/s,解释为由于沿电离锥的外流。电离气体的质量外流速率约为0.05MSun/yr,比活动星系核的吸积速率大一个数量级。由H2l2.22um发射线追踪的热分子气体的通量分布和运动学表明,大部分气体位于银道面。沿PA~-70的过量蓝移可以解释为向核的流入。NGC 7582的质量吸积率与恒星形成率之比约为0.26%,这与Magorrian关系接近,这支持了NGC 7582核内AGN-Starburst的联系。

英文摘要:

We analyse two-dimensional near-IR K-band spectra from the inner 660x315 pc^2 of the Seyfert galaxy NGC7582 obtained with the Gemini GNIRS IFU. The nucleus harbors an unresolved source well reproduced by a blackbody of temperature T 1050 K, which we attribute to emission by circumnuclear dust located closer than 25 pc from the nucleus, with total mass of ~3x10^{-3}M_Sun. Surrounding the nucleus, we observe a ring of active star formation with radius of ~190 pc, an age of ~5 Myr. The radiation of the young stars in the ring accounts for at least 80 % of the ionization observed in the Brgamma emitting gas, the remaining being due to radiation emitted by the active nucleus. The stellar kinematics reveals: (1) a distorted rotation pattern in the radial velocity field with kinematic center apparently displaced from the nuclear source by a few tens of parsecs; (2) a high velocity dispersion in the bulge of sigma=170 km/s; (3) a partial ring of sigma=50 km/s interpreted as due to stars formed from cold gas in a previous burst of star formation. The kinematics of the ionized gas shows an additional blueshifted component with velocities > 100 km/s interpreted as due to an outflow along the ionization cone. The mass outflow rate in the ionized gas was estimated as ~0.05 M_Sun/yr, which is one order of magnitude larger than the accretion rate to the AGN. The flux distribution and kinematics of the hot molecular gas, traced by the H2l2.22um emission line, suggests that most of this gas is in the galactic plane. An excess blueshift along PA~-70 can be interpreted as an inflow towards the nucleus. An AGN-Starburst connection in the nucleus of NGC7582 is supported by the ratio between the mass accretion rate and the star formation rate in the circumnuclear region of ~0.26%, which is close to the Magorrian relation.
