黑洞质量、宿主星系分类和AGN活动

Black Hole Mass, Host galaxy classification and AGN activity

Barry McKernan, K. E. Saavik Ford, Chris Reynolds

摘要:

我们在一个276个大部分在X射线和红外选择的活动星系核附近(z<0.1)的异质样本中研究了宿主星系分类和黑洞质量的作用。在观测到的12 μ m与2- 10 keV的光度比范围内(1< R_{IR/X} <7),膨胀支配型主星系(无盘污染)中约90%的Seyfert 1活动星系核的活动星系核分布在一个很窄的范围内。这种狭窄的分散性包含了活动星系核中心引擎之间所有可能的变化,包括吸积机制和效率,圆盘张开角,视线方向,吸收材料的覆盖率,X射线日冕的斑块性和测量的可变性。因此,活动星系核中X射线和红外产生的所有模型都受到很强的约束。在Seyfert 1活动星系核中,X射线和红外线亮度的中值随着黑洞质量的增加而增加,置信度大于99%。利用主星系的环形态作为缺乏潮汐相互作用的代用指标,我们发现主星系中活动星系核的光度在70 Mpc以内与主星系相互作用对$\sim$陀螺的影响无关,这表明长期演化引起的活动星系核活动的时间尺度比潮汐相互作用引起的活动星系核活动的时间尺度要短得多.我们发现,LINER主机有较低的12微米的光度比正常的磁盘和膨胀为主的星系,这可能是过去时代的反馈,抑制恒星形成LINER主机星系的观测证据的中位数12微米的光度。我们建议,核ULXs可以解释没有平谱,紧凑的无线电核心的LINER 2s的X射线发射。我们证实了我们的结果在X射线的鲁棒性,通过比较它们与14- 195 keV的22个月的BAT调查AGN,这是全天空和光电吸收无偏。

英文摘要:

We investigate the role of host galaxy classification and black hole mass in a heterogeneous sample of 276 mostly nearby (z<0.1) X-ray and IR selected AGN. Around 90% of Seyfert 1 AGN in bulge-dominated host galaxies (without disk contamination) span a very narrow range in the observed 12um to 2-10keV luminosity ratio (1<R_{IR/X}<7). This narrow dispersion incorporates all possible variations among AGN central engines, including accretion mechanism and efficiency, disk opening angle, orientation to sightline, covering fraction of absorbing material, patchiness of X-ray corona and measured variability. As a result, all models of X-ray and IR production in AGN are very strongly constrained. Among Seyfert 1 AGN, median X-ray and IR luminosities increase with black hole mass at >99% confidence. Using ring morphology of the host galaxy as a proxy for lack of tidal interaction, we find that AGN luminosity in host galaxies within 70Mpc is independent of host galaxy interaction for $\sim$ Gyrs, suggesting that the timescale of AGN activity due to secular evolution is much shorter than that due to tidal interactions. We find that LINER hosts have lower 12um luminosity than the median 12um luminosity of normal disk- and bulge-dominated galaxies which may represent observational evidence for past epochs of feedback that supressed star formation in LINER host galaxies. We propose that nuclear ULXs may account for the X-ray emission from LINER 2s without flat-spectrum, compact radio cores. We confirmed the robustness of our results in X-rays by comparing them with the 14-195keV 22-month BAT survey of AGN, which is all-sky and unbiased by photoelectric absorption.
