FR II类星体:红外特性、恒星形成率和扩展的电离气体

FR II Quasars: Infrared Properties, Star Formation Rates, and Extended Ionized Gas

Hai Fu, Alan Stockton

摘要:

我们提出了斯皮策IRS光谱和MIPS测光的12个射电响亮类星体FR II形态在z ~ 0.3。其中六个源被明亮的扩展发射线区域(EELR)包围,而其他六个则没有这样的扩展星云。这两个子样品在它们的中红外光谱和总体红外光谱能量分布(SED)中是不可区分的。对于这两个子样本,中红外芳香族特征在单个源或其堆叠光谱中均未检测到,并且SED与纯类星体发射一致,而没有显著的恒星形成。恒星形成率的上限足够低,因此可以排除恒星暴驱动的超级风是产生EELR的机制,而EELR很可能是伴随着射电喷流发射的冲击波将大部分气体从系统中喷出的结果。FR II类星体系统地偏离了主星系恒星形成率和黑洞吸积率之间的相关性,而射电宁静类星体明显地紧随其后,这意味着与当前强烈的黑洞增长几乎没有或没有隆起增长。我们还提出了一个新的斯皮策估计的恒星形成率的恒星暴在宿主星系的紧凑陡谱射电类星体3C 48。

英文摘要:

We present Spitzer IRS spectra and MIPS photometry of 12 radio-loud QSOs with FR II morphologies at z ~ 0.3. Six of the sources are surrounded by luminous extended emission-line regions (EELRs), while the other six do not have such extended nebulae. The two subsamples are indistinguishable in their mid-infrared spectra and overall infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs). For both subsamples, the mid-infrared aromatic features are undetected in either individual sources or their stacked spectra, and the SEDs are consistent with pure quasar emission without significant star formation. The upper limits to the star formation rate are sufficiently low that starburst-driven superwinds can be ruled out as a mechanism for producing the EELRs, which are instead likely the result of the ejection of most of the gas from the system by blast waves accompanying the launching of the radio jets. The FR II quasars deviate systematically from the correlation between host galaxy star formation rate and black hole accretion rate apparently followed by radio-quiet QSOs, implying little or no bulge growth coeval with the current intensive black hole growth. We also present a new Spitzer estimate of the star formation rate for the starburst in the host galaxy of the compact steep-spectrum radio quasar 3C 48.
