摘要:

我们提出了19个附近的(z<0.3)3CR射电星系在低和高激发成像的一部分,周期15哈勃太空望远镜快照调查与先进的相机调查。这些图像包括H-α(6563,加上[NII]污染)和[OIII] 5007发射线的曝光,使用根据目标红移调整的窄带线性斜坡滤波器。为了便于连续减法,单点60秒无线曝光,采用适合目标红移的中频滤波器。我们讨论了独立于自动重新校准管道减少这些图像所采取的步骤,以便使用更近期的ACS平场数据以及更好地拒绝宇宙射线。我们描述了用于产生连续无(纯线发射)图像的方法,并提出这些图像以及我们观察到的窄线区域形态的定性描述。我们目前的H-α +[NII]和[OIII]线通量从孔径测光,找到的值落在红移光度的趋势,从过去的HST/WFPC 2发射线研究的一个更大的,通常更高的红移子集的3CR。我们还发现预期的趋势之间的发射线亮度和总的无线电功率,以及发射线区域的大小和红移之间的正相关性。我们讨论了这些结果的相关解释,并总结了该数据集支持的未来工作。

英文摘要:

We present 19 nearby (z<0.3) 3CR radio galaxies imaged at low- and high-excitation as part of a Cycle 15 Hubble Space Telescope snapshot survey with the Advanced Camera for Surveys. These images consist of exposures of the H-alpha (6563 Å, plus [NII] contamination) and [OIII] 5007 Åemission lines using narrow-band linear ramp filters adjusted according to the redshift of the target. To facilitate continuum subtraction, a single-pointing 60 s line-free exposure was taken with a medium-band filter appropriate for the target's redshift. We discuss the steps taken to reduce these images independently of the automated recalibration pipeline so as to use more recent ACS flat-field data as well as to better reject cosmic rays. We describe the method used to produce continuum-free (pure line-emission) images, and present these images along with qualitative descriptions of the narrow-line region morphologies we observe. We present H-alpha+[NII] and [OIII] line fluxes from aperture photometry, finding the values to fall expectedly on the redshift-luminosity trend from a past HST/WFPC2 emission line study of a larger, generally higher redshift subset of the 3CR. We also find expected trends between emission line luminosity and total radio power, as well as a positive correlation between the size of the emission line region and redshift. We discuss the associated interpretation of these results, and conclude with a summary of future work enabled by this dataset.
