摘要:

大质量黑洞(MBH)双星的合并导致了系统的引力波反冲和从星系核心的弹射。我们已经在Via Lactea I模拟中对MBH = 3.7x10^6 Msun MBH残留物的运动进行了N体模拟,这是一个银河系大小的暗物质晕。在红移1.5时,黑洞的反冲速度为Vkick = 80、120、200、300和400 km/s,其轨道在一个活的宿主晕内超过1 Gyr,只受重力和与暗物质背景的动力学摩擦的影响。我们表明,由于在暗物质潜力的非球面性,MBH的轨道是高度非径向的,导致在一个显着增加的衰减时间尺度相比,球形晕。的模拟被用来构建一个半解析模型的MBH的运动在随时间变化的三轴Navarro-Frenk-White暗物质晕加上一个球形的恒星凸起,其中的动力学摩擦力直接从速度色散张量计算。这样一个模型应该能提供一幅被踢出的MBH的真实动态图像,在这些情况下,气体阻力、盘星的摩擦力以及返回的黑洞对中心尖点的压平都是可以忽略的影响。我们发现,MBH喷出的初始反冲速度Vkick > 500公里/秒不返回到主机中心在哈勃时间。在一个银河系大小的星系中,一个携带着初始质量约为MBH的气体盘的反冲洞可能会在其游荡阶段的很大一部分作为类星体发光。因此,这项研究预测的踢MBH的长衰变时间尺度可能有利于检测核外类星体活动。

英文摘要:

The coalescence of a massive black hole (MBH) binary leads to the gravitational-wave recoil of the system and its ejection from the galaxy core. We have carried out N-body simulations of the motion of a MBH = 3.7x10^6 Msun MBH remnant in the Via Lactea I simulation, a Milky Way sized dark matter halo. The black hole receives a recoil velocity of Vkick = 80, 120, 200, 300, and 400 km/s at redshift 1.5, and its orbit is followed for over 1 Gyr within a live host halo, subject only to gravity and dynamical friction against the dark matter background. We show that, owing to asphericities in the dark matter potential, the orbit of the MBH is hightly non-radial, resulting in a significantly increased decay timescale compared to a spherical halo. The simulations are used to construct a semi-analytic model of the motion of the MBH in a time-varying triaxial Navarro-Frenk-White dark matter halo plus a spherical stellar bulge, where the dynamical friction force is calculated directly from the velocity dispersion tensor. Such a model should offer a realistic picture of the dynamics of kicked MBHs in situations where gas drag, friction by disk stars, and the flattening of the central cusp by the returning black hole are all negligible effects. We find that MBHs ejected with initial recoil velocities Vkick > 500 km/s do not return to the host center within Hubble time. In a Milky Way-sized galaxy, a recoiling hole carrying a gaseous disk of initial mass ~MBH may shine as a quasar for a substantial fraction of its wandering phase. The long decay timescales of kicked MBHs predicted by this study may thus be favorable to the detection of off-nuclear quasar activity.
