由影响范围论证导出的M-Sigma关系
The M-Sigma Relation Derived from Sphere of Influence Arguments
摘要:
观测到的超大质量黑洞(SMBH)质量(M)与球核恒星速度色散(Sigma)之间的关系可用log(M)= alpha + beta*log(Sigma/200 km/s)表示。由于这种关系对星系和SMBH形成和演化的模型具有重要意义,因此人们对将其添加到M目录中仍然有很大的兴趣。“影响范围”(r)的论点使用空间分辨率来排除一些M估计,并预先选择其他星系进行进一步的SMBH研究。这封信量化的影响,适用于人口的星系和SMBH不遵循M-西格玛关系的r参数。所有已知的西格玛值,接近100 Mpc的星系,被赋予一个随机的M,当r是空间分辨的选择。这些随机SMBH产生α =8.3,β =4.0的M-Sigma关系,与观察值一致。因此,未来提出的M估计值不应仅根据解决r来证明。这封信表明,观察到的M-西格玛关系可能只是一个可用的空间分辨率的结果。然而,这也意味着观察到的M-Sigma关系定义了上限。这可能为星系和SMBH的形成和演化过程提供有价值的新见解。
英文摘要:
The observed relation between supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass (M) and bulge stellar velocity dispersion (Sigma) is described by log(M) = alpha + beta*log(Sigma/200 km/s). As this relation has important implications for models of galaxy and SMBH formation and evolution, there continues to be great interest in adding to the M catalog. The "sphere of influence" (r) argument uses spatial resolution to exclude some M estimates and pre-select additional galaxies for further SMBH studies. This Letter quantifies the effects of applying the r argument to a population of galaxies and SMBHs that do not follow the M-Sigma relation. All galaxies with known values of Sigma, closer than 100 Mpc, are given a random M and selected when r is spatially resolved. These random SMBHs produce an M-Sigma relation of alpha=8.3, beta=4.0, consistent with observed values. Consequently, future proposed M estimates should not be justified solely on the basis of resolving r. This Letter shows the observed M-Sigma relation may simply be a result of available spatial resolution. However, it also implies the observed M-Sigma relation defines an upper limit. This potentially provides valuable new insight into the processes of galaxy and SMBH formation and evolution.
