SDSS/FIRST巡天中的1型活动星系核分数

Type 1 Active Galactic Nucleus Fraction in SDSS/FIRST Survey

摘要:

在统一方案中,窄线(类型2)活动星系核(AGN)本质上与宽线(类型1)活动星系核相似,不同之处在于宽发射线区域和吸积盘的视线被尘埃环阻挡。第1型活动星系核的分数度量了环面的平均覆盖因子。本文通过对Sloan数字巡天光谱星表和20 cm射电天空暗像射电源表的匹配,选取了一个低红移(z <0.35)强射电(P_{1.4GHz} >10^{23}W/Hz)活动星系核样本,探讨了这一比值与核性质的关系。在对几种选择效应进行校正后,我们发现:(1)在[O III] 5007光度范围40.7< log(L_{[O III]} / erg/s)<43.5内,第一型组分$f_1$保持在约20%的常数。这一结果与以往的研究结果有显著差异,这种差异可以通过消光校正和选择效应的不同处理来解释。(2)随着黑洞质量的增加,$f_1$从约20%(M_bh小于10^8 Msun)增加到约30%(M_bh大于10^8 Msun)。这与具有黑洞质量的高度倾斜盘星系比例的减少相吻合,这意味着当宿主星系类型从膨胀主导转移到盘主导时,由于盘中的星系尺度遮蔽,Seyfert星系的人口被视为2型。(3)$f_1$与爱丁顿比无关,其值在0.01和1之间;(4)在23< log(P_{1.4GHz} / W/Hz)<24的无线电功率范围内,$f_1$从15%上升到30%,然后保持恒定,约为30%,直到10^{26} W/Hz。

英文摘要:

In the unification scheme, narrow-lined (type 2) active galactic nuclei (AGN) are intrinsically similar to broad-lined (type 1) AGN with the exception that the line of sight to the broad emission line region and accretion disk is blocked by a dusty torus. The fraction of type 1 AGN measures the average covering factor of the torus. In this paper, we explore the dependence of this fraction on nuclear properties for a sample of low redshift (z <0.35) radio strong (P_{1.4GHz} >10^{23}W/Hz) AGN selected by matching the spectroscopic catalog of Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the radio source catalog of Faint Image of Radio Sky at Twenty cm. After correcting for several selection effects, we find that : (1) type 1 fraction $f_1$ keeps at a constant of ~20 per cent in the [O III] 5007 luminosity range of 40.7< log(L_{[O III]}/ erg/s) <43.5 . This result is significantly different from previous studies, and the difference can be explained by extinction correction and different treatment of selection effects. (2) $f_1$ rises with black hole mass from ~20 per cent (M_bh below 10^8 Msun) to ~30 per cent (M_bh above that). This coincides with the decrease of the fraction of highly-inclined disk galaxies with black hole mass, implying a population of Seyfert galaxies seen as type 2 due to galaxy-scale obscuration in disk when the host galaxy type transfer from bulge-dominant to disk-dominant. (3) $f_1$ is independent of the Eddington ratio for its value between 0.01 and 1; (4) $f_1$ ascends from 15 per cent to 30 per cent in the radio power range of 23< log(P_{1.4GHz}/ W/Hz) <24, then remain a constant at ~30 per cent up to 10^{26} W/Hz.
