VLBI在候选双星黑洞SDSS J1536 +0441中探测到AGN对

VLBI detection of an AGN pair in the binary black hole candidate SDSS J1536+0441

摘要:

我们提出了第一个pc规模的无线电成像的无线电安静的候选人二进制黑洞系统SDSS J1536+0441。观测由欧洲VLBI网络在5 GHz的频率下进行,并允许以约10 mas(50 pc)的分辨率对SDSS J1536+0441进行成像。在kpc尺度分量VLA-A和VLA-B的位置探测到两个致密的射电核,证明存在两个致密的活动核,其射电光度约为10^{40} erg/s,从而排除了这两个射电源都是由一个0.1 pc双星黑洞提供能量的可能性。从与公布的8.5 GHz的通量密度的比较,我们得出的无线电频谱指数的两个PC规模的核心的估计。两个核心都有平坦或倒置的光谱指数,至少对于VLA-A的情况,我们可以排除同步加速器自吸收是导致倒置无线电频谱的可能性。我们认为,从X射线加热盘风的热自由-自由发射可能是在VLA-A的无线电发射供电。

英文摘要:

We present first pc-scale radio imaging of the radio-quiet candidate binary black hole system SDSS J1536+0441. The observations were carried out by the European VLBI Network at the frequency of 5 GHz and allowed to image SDSS J1536+0441 with a resolution of about 10 mas (50 pc). Two compact radio cores are detected at the position of the kpc-scale components VLA-A and VLA-B, proving the presence of two compact active nuclei with radio luminosity about 10^{40} erg/s, thus ruling out the possibility that the two radio sources are both powered by one 0.1 pc binary black hole. From a comparison with published 8.5 GHz flux densities we derived an estimate of the radio spectral index of the two pc-scale cores. Both cores have flat or inverted spectral index and, at least for the case of VLA-A, we can rule out the possibility that synchrotron self-absorption is responsible for the inverted radio spectrum. We suggest that thermal free-free emission from an X-ray heated disk wind may be powering the radio emission in VLA-A.
