超大质量黑洞生长的环境效应与AGN反馈

Environmental effects on the growth of super massive black holes and AGN feedback

Min-Su Shin, Jeremiah P. Ostriker, Luca Ciotti

摘要:

我们研究如何通过气体剥离环境效应改变超大质量黑洞(SMBH)的生长和它的宿主星系的演化,通过一维流体动力学模拟,包括机械和辐射AGN反馈效应。通过改变气体分布的截断半径(R_t),我们模拟了星系团和星系群中卫星星系和中心星系的可能环境。截断半径外的气体的持续逃逸强烈抑制了恒星的形成,而SMBH的生长受气体剥离的影响较小,因为SMBH吸积主要由中心区域的密度决定。考虑到环境影响的增加--截断半径从410 kpc减小到50 kpc --我们发现最终SMBH的质量从10^9下降到8 x 10^8 Msol,但流出的质量大致保持不变,约为2 x 10^10 Msol。随着环境剥离的增加,形成的恒星质量变化较大,从2 x 10^10下降到2 x 10^9 Msol,最终的热X射线气体从10^9下降到5 x 10^8 Msol。最引人注目的是,这些天体被视为类星体的总时间从5200万年(R_t = 377 kpc)下降到7900万年(R_t = 51 kpc)。典型的情况可能被解释为红色和死亡星系具有间歇性冷却流,随后是AGN反馈效应,导致整个星系颜色从红色暂时转变为绿色或蓝色,其中(星系团)中心星系花费了更大的时间比卫星星系处于升高状态的时间。(节录)

英文摘要:

We investigate how environmental effects by gas stripping alter the growth of a super massive black hole (SMBH) and its host galaxy evolution, by means of 1D hydrodynamical simulations that include both mechanical and radiative AGN feedback effects. By changing the truncation radius of the gas distribution (R_t), beyond which gas stripping is assumed to be effective, we simulate possible environments for satellite and central galaxies in galaxy clusters and groups. The continuous escape of gas outside the truncation radius strongly suppresses star formation, while the growth of the SMBH is less affected by gas stripping because the SMBH accretion is primarily ruled by the density of the central region. As we allow for increasing environmental effects - the truncation radius decreasing from about 410 to 50 kpc - we find that the final SMBH mass declines from about 10^9 to 8 x 10^8 Msol, but the outflowing mass is roughly constant at about 2 x 10^10 Msol. There are larger change in the mass of stars formed, which declines from about 2 x 10^10 to 2 x 10^9 Msol, and the final thermal X-ray gas, which declines from about 10^9 to 5 x 10^8 Msol, with increasing environmental stripping. Most dramatic is the decline in the total time that the objects would be seen as quasars, which declines from 52 Myr (for R_t = 377 kpc) to 7.9 Myr (for R_t = 51 kpc). The typical case might be interpreted as a red and dead galaxy having episodic cooling flows followed by AGN feedback effects resulting in temporary transitions of the overall galaxy color from red to green or to blue, with (cluster) central galaxies spending a much larger fraction of their time in the elevated state than do satellite galaxies.(Abridged)
