Feedback from central black holes in elliptical galaxies. I: models with either radiative or mechanical feedback but not both

摘要:

由于电磁输出、黑洞质量和星系光学光度之间的良好关系,椭圆星系中心SMBH辐射反馈的重要性是毋庸置疑的。此外,由于中央SMBH周围的吸积盘发出的喷流和风的能量的机械和热沉积,预计也会发生反馈。在本文中,我们改进和扩展的吸积和反馈物理在我们以前的论文中探索,也包括一个物理动机的机械反馈。我们研究了一个孤立的椭圆星系的演化与援助的高分辨率的1-D流体动力学代码,其中的冷却和加热功能,包括光电离和康普顿效应,并限制到模型,其中只包括辐射或只机械反馈。我们证实,爱丁顿比高于0.01的吸积和辐射输出的反馈效应被迫在突发模式,因此,预计在早期的强烈的辐射,而在低红移的探索模型的特点是光滑,非常次爱丁顿质量吸积率穿插罕见的爆发。然而,探索的模型总是失败的一些观察测试。如果我们假设高机械效率为10^{-2.3},我们发现大部分气体都是从星系中喷射出来的,产生的X射线光度远低于通常观察到的,并且几乎没有SMBH生长。但机械效率足够低以适应令人满意的SMBH生长的模型往往会允许太强的冷却流,并使z=0处的星系的E+A光谱比观察到的更频繁。我们的结论是,这两种类型的反馈是必要的。在即将发表的论文中探讨了具有组合反馈的模型。

英文摘要:

The importance of the radiative feedback from SMBHs at the centers of elliptical galaxies is not in doubt, given the well established relations among electromagnetic output, black hole mass and galaxy optical luminosity. In addition, feedback due to mechanical and thermal deposition of energy from jets and winds emitted by the accretion disk around the central SMBH is also expected to occur. In this paper we improve and extend the accretion and feedback physics explored in our previous papers to include also a physically motivated mechanical feedback. We study the evolution of an isolated elliptical galaxy with the aid of a high-resolution 1-D hydrodynamical code, where the cooling and heating functions include photoionization and Compton effects, and restricting to models which include only radiative or only mechanical feedback. We confirm that for Eddington ratios above 0.01 both the accretion and radiative output are forced by feedback effects to be in burst mode, so that strong intermittencies are expected at early times, while at low redshift the explored models are characterized by smooth, very sub-Eddington mass accretion rates punctuated by rare outbursts. However, the explored models always fail some observational tests. If we assume the high mechanical efficiency of 10^{-2.3}, we find that most of the gas is ejected from the galaxy, the resulting X-ray luminosity is far less than is typically observed and little SMBH growth occurs. But models with low enough mechanical efficiency to accomodate satisfactory SMBH growth tend to allow too strong cooling flows and leave galaxies at z=0 with E+A spectra more frequently than is observed. We conclude that both types of feedback are required. Models with combined feedback are explored in a forthcoming paper [abridged]
