摘要:

我们研究了窄线区域的光发射线通量比,以确定活动星系核喷流的形成是否需要特定的吸积条件。我们发现,明亮的致密射电星系,这是强大的射电星系在早期阶段的喷流活动,与无线电静默(RQ)相比,系统地显示出较大的[O{\sc i}] $λ$ 6300/[O{ \sc iii}] $λ$ 5007的通量比和较小的[O {\sc iii}] $λ$ 5007/[O{ \sc iii}] $λ$ 4363的通量比塞弗特2星系。将观察到的线比率与光电离模型进行比较,发现低电离线与高电离线的通量比率的差异(例如,[O{\sc i}] $λ$ 6300/[O{ \sc iii}] $λ$ 5007)之间的关系可以通过电离源的光谱能量分布(SED)的差异来很好地理解。强大的年轻射电大声(YRL)活动星系核有利于SED没有一个强大的大蓝色隆起,即,辐射低效吸积流(RIAF),而RQ AGN与采用强蓝色大凸起的SED模型一致,即,一种几何上薄而光学上厚的圆盘。这些发现意味着,强大的活动星系核喷流的形成需要吸积盘具有更硬的电离SED(即,a RIAF)。我们讨论了YRL活动星系核的模糊结构作为[O{ \sc iii}] $ λ$ 5007/[O{ \sc iii}] $λ$ 4363流量比差异的可能来源。

英文摘要:

We investigate the optical emission-line flux ratios of narrow-line regions, in order to determine whether the formation of AGN jets requires specific accretion conditions. We find that bright compact radio galaxies, which are powerful radio galaxies in the early stage of the jet activity, exhibit systematically larger flux ratios of [O{\sc i}]$λ$6300/[O{\sc iii}]$λ$5007 and smaller flux ratios of [O{\sc iii}]$λ$5007/[O{\sc iii}]$λ$4363 than radio-quiet (RQ) Seyfert 2 galaxies. Comparing the observed line ratios with photoionization models, it is found that the difference in the flux ratio of low- to high-ionization lines (e.g., [O{\sc i}]$λ$6300/[O{\sc iii}]$λ$5007) can be well understood by the difference in the spectral energy distribution (SED) of ionizing sources. Powerful young radio-loud (YRL) AGNs favor SED without a strong big blue bump, i.e., a radiatively inefficient accretion flow (RIAF), while RQ AGNs are consistent with the models adopting SED with a strong big blue bump, i.e., a geometrically thin, optically thick disk. These findings imply that the formation of powerful AGN jets requires the accretion disk with harder ionizing SED (i.e., a RIAF). We discuss the obscuring structure of YRL AGNs as a plausible origin of the difference in flux ratios of [O{\sc iii}]$ λ$5007/[O{\sc iii}]$λ$4363.
