摘要:

最近对活动星系核的研究表明,X射线的变化与中心SMBH的质量和吸积速率有关。在这里,我们提出的应用程序的变化,光度关系高红移活动星系核的CDFS,利用XMM-牛顿观测。我们使用蒙特卡罗模拟,以适当地考虑稀疏采样和非常低的统计引入的偏差和不确定性。我们的初步结果表明,BH的质量跨度从10^5到10^9太阳质量,而吸积率的范围从10^-3到大于1(以爱丁顿吸积率为单位)。

英文摘要:

Recent work on nearby AGNs has shown that X-ray variability is correlated with the mass and accretion rate onto the central SMBH. Here we present the application of the variability-luminosity relation to high redshift AGNs in the CDFS, making use of XMM-Newton observations. We use Monte Carlo simulations in order to properly account for bias and uncertainties introduced by the sparse sampling and the very low statistics. Our preliminary results indicate that BH masses span over the range from 10^5 to 10^9 solar mass while accretion rates range from 10^-3 up to values greater than 1, in unit of Eddington accretion rate.
