宽发射选择活动星系核-宿主混合类星体中活动星系核-宿主联系的研究

Understanding the AGN-Host Connection in Broad Mgii Emission Selected AGN-Host Hybrid Qausars

J. Wang, J. Y. Wei

摘要:

本文研究了具有混合光谱的中z(1.2>z>0.4)星系(简称混合类星体)中活动星系核与宿主星系的联系问题。观测到的光谱向红的巴耳末极限的星光为主,和光谱在蓝端的AGN连续谱和MgII宽发射线。这种独特的性质使我们能够在单个星系中同时研究活动星系核和它的宿主星系。首先,从Sloan数字巡天数据Release 6中选取了15个混合类星体。然后详细分析了三个天体的光谱:SDSS J162446.49+461946.7,SDSS J102633.32+103443.8和SDSS J090036.44+381353.0。我们的光谱分析表明,目前的恒星形成活动受到强烈的抑制,最新的爆发年龄范围从400 Myr到1Gyr。基于Mg Ⅱ基黑洞质量,这三个混合类星体与先前在局部活动星系核中建立的D_n(4000)-L/ L_{Edd}序列一致。这三个混合类星体均位于活动星系核序列的中间区域,说明混合类星体不仅处于年轻活动星系核向年老活动星系核的过渡阶段,而且处于由主星系核主导阶段向活动星系核主导阶段的过渡阶段。

英文摘要:

We study the issue of AGN-host connection in intermediate-z (1.2>z>0.4) galaxies with hybrid spectra (hybrid QSOs for short). The observed spectra redward of the Balmer limit are dominated by starlight, and the spectra at blue end by both an AGN continuum and a MgII broad emission line. Such unique property allows us to examine both AGN and its host galaxy in individual galaxy simultaneously. At first, 15 hybrid QSOs are selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 6. The spectra are then analyzed in detail in three objects: SDSS J162446.49+461946.7, SDSS J102633.32+103443.8 and SDSS J090036.44+381353.0. Our spectral analyzing shows that the current star formation activities are strongly suppressed, and that the latest burst ages range from ~400Myr to 1Gyr. Basing upon the MgII-based black hole masses, the three hybrid QSOs are consistent with the D_n(4000)-L/L_{Edd} sequence that was previously established in local AGNs. The three hybrid QSOs are located in the middle range of the sequence, which implies that the hybrid QSOs are at the transition stage not only from young to old AGN, but also from host-dominated phase to AGN-dominated phase.
