摘要:

本文报道了在红移范围1<z<2.2的zCOSMOS巡天中探测到的89个宽线活动星系核的静止坐标系K波段光度和恒星总质量的测量结果。前所未有的多波长覆盖的调查领域,使我们能够解开从核黑洞的光谱能量分布的主机星系的排放。我们通过分析在中分辨率光谱中观察到的广泛的Mg II发射线与VIMOS/VLT作为zCOSMOS项目的一部分,得出黑洞质量的估计。我们发现,与局部值相比,黑洞与宿主星系的平均质量比似乎随着红移的增加而正向演化,最佳拟合演化形式为(1+z)^{0.68 \pm 0.12 +0.6 -0.3},其中较大的非对称系统误差源于IMF选择的不确定性,在维里关系的校准用于估计BH质量和在平均类星体SED通过。对标度关系中由内禀散射引起的观测偏差的彻底分析加强了这样一个结论,即对于早期活跃生长的黑洞,MBH-M* 关系必然随之演变:它的总体归一化或其内禀散射(或两者)似乎随着红移而增加。这可以被解释为要么是一个更快速的增长超大质量黑洞在高红移,在早期的活动星系核主机的结构特性的变化,或显着的不匹配之间的典型的增长时间的核黑洞和主机星系的签名。

英文摘要:

(Abriged) We report on the measurement of the rest frame K-band luminosity and total stellar mass of the hosts of 89 broad line Active Galactic Nuclei detected in the zCOSMOS survey in the redshift range 1<z<2.2. The unprecedented multiwavelength coverage of the survey field allows us to disentangle the emission of the host galaxy from that of the nuclear black hole in their Spectral Energy Distributions. We derive an estimate of black hole masses through the analysis of the broad Mg II emission lines observed in the medium-resolution spectra taken with VIMOS/VLT as part of the zCOSMOS project. We found that, as compared to the local value, the average black hole to host galaxy mass ratio appears to evolve positively with redshift, with a best fit evolution of the form (1+z)^{0.68 \pm0.12 +0.6 -0.3}, where the large asymmetric systematic errors stem from the uncertainties in the choice of IMF, in the calibration of the virial relation used to estimate BH masses and in the mean QSO SED adopted. A thorough analysis of observational biases induced by intrinsic scatter in the scaling relations reinforces the conclusion that an evolution of the MBH-M* relation must ensue for actively growing black holes at early times: either its overall normalization, or its intrinsic scatter (or both) appear to increase with redshift. This can be interpreted as signature of either a more rapid growth of supermassive black holes at high redshift, a change of structural properties of AGN hosts at earlier times, or a significant mismatch between the typical growth times of nuclear black holes and host galaxies.
