云团吸积流中的AGN的UV和X射线光度

AGN's UV and X-ray luminosities in clumpy accretion flows

W. Ishibashi, T. J. -L. Courvoisier

摘要:

本文研究了活动星系核中中心大质量黑洞通过非均匀吸积流的充能问题。进行简单的分析处理,我们表明,形成吸积流的元素(块)之间的冲击可以解释活动星系核中的紫外和X射线发射。在这幅图中,预计会出现一连串的激波,其中光学厚激波引起光学/紫外辐射,而光学薄激波引起X射线辐射。由此产生的蓝色凸点温度被发现是非常相似的,在不同的活动星系核。我们得到的X射线光度比紫外线光度小于1,这一比例是小质量的物体相比,质量较小的来源。这与观察到的$L_{X}/L_{UV}$比值一致,并提示可能解释$α_{OX}-l_{UV}$的相关性。

英文摘要:

We consider the fuelling of the central massive black hole in Active Galactic Nuclei, through an inhomogeneous accretion flow. Performing simple analytical treatments, we show that shocks between elements (clumps) forming the accretion flow may account for the UV and X-ray emission in AGNs. In this picture, a cascade of shocks is expected, where optically thick shocks give rise to optical/UV emission, while optically thin shocks give rise to X-ray emission. The resulting blue bump temperature is found to be quite similar in different AGNs. We obtain that the ratio of X-ray luminosity to UV luminosity is smaller than unity, and that this ratio is smaller in massive objects compared to less massive sources. This is in agreement with the observed $L_{X}/L_{UV}$ ratio and suggests a possible interpretation of the $α_{OX}-l_{UV}$ anticorrelation.
