活动星系核射电喷流的体动力学功率

The bulk kinetic power of radio jets in active galactic nuclei

Minfeng Gu, Xinwu Cao, D. R. Jiang

摘要:

基于Königl的非均匀喷流模型,假设X射线来自喷流而不是团内气体,我们利用射电VLBI和活动星系核(AGN)的X射线数据估算了喷流参数,如体洛伦兹因子$Γ$、视角$θ$和电子数密度$n_{\rm e}$。然后使用导出的射流参数计算射流的体积动力学功率。我们发现宽发射线的总光度和大量的动力学功率的喷流之间有很强的相关性。这一结果支持了吸积过程与射电喷流密切相关的假设,尽管目前的相关分析还没有揭示吸积盘和喷流之间的耦合关系。此外,我们还发现了体动力学功率和射电扩展光度之间的显著相关性。这意味着射电瓣的辐射与活动星系核中心喷流的能量输送密切相关。

英文摘要:

Based on the Königl's inhomogeneous jet model, we estimate the jet parameters, such as bulk Lorentz factor $Γ$, viewing angle $θ$ and electron number density $n_{\rm e}$ from radio VLBI and X-ray data for a sample of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) assuming that the X-rays are from the jet rather than the intracluster gas. The bulk kinetic power of jets is then calculated using the derived jet parameters. We find a strong correlation between the total luminosity of broad emission lines and the bulk kinetic power of the jets. This result supports the scenario that the accretion process are tightly linked with the radio jets, though how the disk and jet are coupled is not revealed by present correlation analysis. Moreover, we find a significant correlation between the bulk kinetic power and radio extended luminosity. This implies that the emission from the radio lobes are closely related with the energy flux transported through jets from the central part of AGNs.
