摘要:

自引力吸积盘坍缩成恒星形成区,一直延伸到活动星系核(AGN)的尘埃环内缘。给出了包含恒星形成反馈的完整方程组来描述这些区域的动力学。我们探讨的超新星爆炸(SNexp)的作用,激发湍流粘度,在运输的角动量在1 pc尺度内的区域。我们发现,在活动星系核中,具有典型速率的吸积盘可以被区域内的SNexp驱动,并且金属可以自发产生。本模型预测的金属丰度-光度关系与活动星系核中观察到的一致。作为SF区的遗迹,在每一次超大质量黑洞活动中都会留下一个由老恒星组成的环(或带)。我们认为,多个恒星环与随机方向相互作用,形成一个核星团后,恒星形成的驱动插曲。

英文摘要:

Self-gravitating accretion disks collapse to star-forming(SF) regions extending to the inner edge of the dusty torus in active galactic nuclei (AGNs). A full set of equations including feedback of star formation is given to describe the dynamics of the regions. We explore the role of supernovae explosion (SNexp), acting to excite turbulent viscosity, in the transportation of angular momentum in the regions within 1pc scale. We find that accretion disks with typical rates in AGNs can be driven by SNexp in the regions and metals are produced spontaneously. The present model predicts a metallicity--luminosity relationship consistent with that observed in AGNs. As relics of SF regions, a ring (or belt) consisting of old stars remains for every episode of supermassive black hole activity. We suggest that multiple stellar rings with random directions interact and form a nuclear star cluster after episodes driven by star formation.
