摘要:

弱发射线类星体是一类罕见而令人费解的天体。在本文中,我们提出了一个在斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)中发现的此类对象。位于z = 1.66的类星体SDSS J094533.99+100950.1实际上没有C IV发射线,这是一个红色连续谱,与Richards等人的第二陡类星体复合光谱非常相似,的吸收和镁II线,虽然相对较弱,是强大到足以测量黑洞的质量没有强烈的影响。该天体的爱丁顿比约为0.45,其谱线特性与高吸积率下的预期趋势不一致。我们提出,在这个对象中的线属性的最可能的解释,也许在所有的弱发射线类星体,是类星体的活动刚刚开始。盘风是刚刚发射的,所以已经观察到了靠近盘表面形成的低电离线,但风还没有到达形成高电离线或窄线分量的区域。这种现象的发生率相对较高,可能还表明类星体活动阶段由几个子阶段组成,每个子阶段都以宽线区的新建立开始。

英文摘要:

Weak emission line quasars are a rare and puzzling group of objects. In this paper we present one more object of this class found in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The quasar SDSS J094533.99+100950.1, lying at z = 1.66, has practically no C IV emission line, a red continuum very similar to the second steepest of the quasar composite spectra of Richards et al., is not strongly affected by absorption and the Mg II line, although relatively weak, is strong enough to measure the black hole mass. The Eddington ratio in this object is about 0.45, and the line properties are not consistent with the trends expected at high accretion rates. We propose that the most probable explanation of the line properties in this object, and perhaps in all weak emission line quasars, is that the quasar activity has just started. A disk wind is freshly launched so the low ionization lines which form close to the disk surface are already observed but the wind has not yet reached the regions where high ionization lines or narrow line components are formed. The relatively high occurrence of such a phenomenon may additionally indicate that the quasar active phase consists of several sub-phases, each starting with a fresh build-up of the Broad Line Region.
