类星体光变特征向量1空间的扩展

Extending the Eigenvector 1 Space to the Optical Variability of Quasars

Yufeng Mao, Jing Wang, Jianyan Wei

摘要:

我们在类星体的本征矢量1空间中引入了一个新的物理参数--光变幅度,并对Giveon等人(1999)观测到的42个PG类星体的长期B波段光变曲线进行了测试。我们发现,光变幅度与Fe II与H $β$的强度比、H $β$的宽度和5007 $\rmÅ$处的峰值亮度密切相关。我们简要讨论了我们的研究结果的物理意义,并建议爱丁顿比可能是一个关键因素,在确定类星体的可变性。

英文摘要:

We introduce a new physical parameter, the optical variability amplitude, to the well-established Eigenvector 1 space of quasars and test a sample of long-term B-band light curves of 42 PG quasars monitored by Giveon et al. (1999). We find that the optical variability amplitude strongly correlates with the intensity ratio of Fe II to H$β$, H$β$ width and peak luminosity at 5007$\rmÅ$. We briefly discuss the physical meaning of our findings and suggest that the Eddington ratio may be a key factor in determining a quasar's variability.
