AGN射电中的冷、暖气体外流

Cold and Warm Gas Outflows in Radio AGN

Raffaella Morganti, Joanna Holt, Clive Tadhunter, Tom Oosterloo

摘要:

对活动星系核中心区域气体的条件和运动学的研究提供了与核活动有关的反馈效应的重要信息。量化这些影响是限制星系演化模型的关键。在这里,我们提出了一个简短的总结,我们最近的努力,研究的发生和影响的气体外流的射电响亮AGN,在其演变的第一阶段。在这些年轻的射电源中,大多数都发现了活动星系核引起的外流的明确证据。流出检测(温暖)电离以及(冷)原子中性气体,它们很可能是驱动(至少在大多数情况下)之间的相互作用,扩大射流和介质。冷气体(HI)的质量流出率似乎系统地高于电离气体。前者可达约50兆太阳/年,与ULIRG中“温和”的恒星爆发驱动的超级风范围相同,而后者目前估计每年只有几个太阳质量。然而,与这些气体外流相关的动能只是该星系爱丁顿光度的一个相对较小的部分(几× 10^-4)。因此,它们似乎不符合星系演化反馈模型的要求。

英文摘要:

The study of the conditions and the kinematics of the gas in the central region of AGN provides important information on the relevance of feedback effects connected to the nuclear activity. Quantifying these effects is key for constraining galaxy evolution models. Here we present a short summary of our recent efforts to study the occurrence and the impact of gas outflows in radio-loud AGN that are in their first phase of their evolution. Clear evidence for AGN-induced outflows have been found for the majority of these young radio sources. The outflows are detected both in (warm) ionized as well in (cold) atomic neutral gas and they are likely to be driven (at least in most of the cases) by the interaction between the expanding jet and the medium. The mass outflow rates of the cold gas (HI) appear to be systematically higher than those of the ionized gas. The former reach up to ~50 Msun/yr, and are in the same range as "mild" starburst-driven superwinds in ULIRGs, whilst the latter are currently estimated to be a few solar masses per year. However, the kinetic powers associated with these gaseous outflow are a relatively small fraction (a few x 10^-4) of the Eddington luminosity of the galaxy. Thus, they do not appear to match the requirements of the galaxy evolution feedback models.
