摘要:

我们给出了六个在z ~ 2处的发光类星体的光谱,覆盖了其余波长1600-3200埃.从光谱中获得了UV Fe II发射线和Mg II 2798双峰的通量、Mg II的线宽和3000 A的光度。在Fe II(UV)/Mg II流量比与中心黑洞质量的关系图中,我们的z ~ 2类星体中的Fe II(UV)/Mg II系统地大于低红移类星体中的Fe II(UV)/Mg II。我们认为,亮度不是造成这种过剩的原因。目前还不清楚这种过量是由于z ~ 2处的Fe丰度超过低红移还是由于非丰度效应如高气体密度、强辐射场和高微湍流速度引起的。

英文摘要:

We present spectra of six luminous quasars at z ~ 2, covering rest wavelengths 1600-3200 A. The fluxes of the UV Fe II emission lines and Mg II 2798 doublet, the line widths of Mg II, and the 3000 A luminosity were obtained from the spectra. These quantities were compared with those of low-redshift quasars at z = 0.06 - 0.55 studied by Tsuzuki et al. In a plot of the Fe II(UV)/Mg II flux ratio as a function of the cental black hole mass, Fe II(UV)/Mg II in our z ~ 2 quasars is systematically greater than in the low-redshift quasars. We confermed that luminosity is not responsible for this excess. It is unclear whether this excess is caused by rich Fe abundance at z ~ 2 over low-redshift or by non-abundance effects such as high gas density, strong radiation field, and high microturbulent velocity.
