利用混响映射和哈勃空间望远镜成像研究活动星系核的黑洞质量-膨胀光度关系

The Black Hole Mass-Bulge Luminosity Relationship for Active Galactic Nuclei from Reverberation Mapping and Hubble Space Telescope Imaging

Misty C. Bentz, Bradley M. Peterson, Richard W. Pogge, Marianne Vestergaard

摘要:

利用哈勃空间望远镜主星系图像的二维分解数据,利用反射波测量的黑洞质量和核球光度,研究了活动星系核的黑洞质量和核球光度之间的关系.我们发现活动星系核的关系斜率为0.76-0.85,不确定度为~0.1,比用动态黑洞质量测量拟合的附近静止星系的M_BH \propto L^{1.0+/-0.1}关系略浅。这有点令人困惑,因为活动星系核黑洞质量包括一个整体的比例因子,使活动星系核的M_BH-σ关系与静止星系的一致。我们讨论了活动星系核和静止星系样本中可能固有的偏差,这些偏差可能导致它们的M_BH-L_bulge关系形式的明显不一致。

英文摘要:

We investigate the relationship between black hole mass and bulge luminosity for AGNs with reverberation-based black hole mass measurements and bulge luminosities from two-dimensional decompositions of Hubble Space Telescope host galaxy images. We find that the slope of the relationship for AGNs is 0.76-0.85 with an uncertainty of ~0.1, somewhat shallower than the M_BH \propto L^{1.0+/-0.1} relationship that has been fit to nearby quiescent galaxies with dynamical black hole mass measurements. This is somewhat perplexing, as the AGN black hole masses include an overall scaling factor that brings the AGN M_BH-sigma relationship into agreement with that of quiescent galaxies. We discuss biases that may be inherent to the AGN and quiescent galaxy samples and could cause the apparent inconsistency in the forms of their M_BH-L_bulge relationships.
