活动星系核金属丰度测量

Metallicity measurements in AGNs

Smita Mathur, Dale Fields

摘要:

在活动星系核区域测量金属丰度是困难的,因为只有少数几条线被观察到,电离校正成为一个主要问题。氮碳比已被广泛用作金属丰度的指标,但一直缺乏精确的测量。我们首次使用FUSE、HST和Chandra的宽电离态基线进行了这样的测量。OVI与FUSE的观察在这一努力中至关重要。我们测量了两个活动星系核中的超太阳金属丰度,发现N/C与金属丰度不成比例。这表明星系核区的化学富集可能不同于传统的金属富集模型。

英文摘要:

Measuring metallicity in the nuclear regions of AGNs is difficult because only a few lines are observed and ionization correction becomes a major problem. Nitrogen to carbon ratio has been widely used as an indicator for metallicity, but precise measurements have been lacking. We made such measurements for the first time using a wide baseline of ionization states with observations from FUSE, HST and Chandra. OVI observations with FUSE were crucial in this effort. We measured super-solar metallicities in two AGNs and found that N/C does not scale with metallicity. This suggests that chemical enrichment scenario in nuclear regions of galaxies may be different from traditional models of metal enrichment.
