摘要:

本文介绍了对射电中等类星体和射电强类星体(分别为RIQ和RLQ)的X射线性质的研究结果。我们将大型现代光学设备(例如,SDSS)和无线电(例如,第一)利用来自Chandra、XMM-Newton和ROSAT的存档X射线数据进行勘测,以生成包括188个RIQ和603个RLQ的光学选择样本。该样品的构造与X射线特性无关,但具有高X射线探测率(85%);它提供了广泛而密集的l-z平面覆盖,包括在高红移(22%的物体具有z=2-5),并且它扩展到高辐射响度值(33%的物体具有R*=3-5,使用对数单位)。我们测量的“过剩”X射线光度的RIQ和RLQ相对于射电宁静类星体(RQQs)作为一个函数的射电响度和光度,和参数化的X射线光度的RIQ和RLQ的光学/UV光度的函数,也作为一个联合功能的光学/UV和射电光度。RIQ相对于RQS只有适度的X射线亮度;只有在高的射电响度值(R*>3.5)和射电光度下,RLQ才变得强烈的X射线亮度。我们没有发现RIQ和RLQ的X射线性质随红移而演化的证据(这意味着与喷射相关的IC/CMB发射对核X射线连续谱没有实质性的贡献)。最后,我们考虑一个模型,其中核X射线发射包含磁盘/电晕链接和喷气链接组件,并证明X射线喷气链接的发射可能是光束,但在较小的程度上比适用于无线电喷气。该模型被用来研究在低倾角下射流关联的X射线发射的增加的优势。

英文摘要:

We present the results of an investigation into the X-ray properties of radio-intermediate and radio-loud quasars (RIQs and RLQs, respectively). We combine large, modern optical (e.g., SDSS) and radio (e.g., FIRST) surveys with archival X-ray data from Chandra, XMM-Newton, and ROSAT to generate an optically selected sample that includes 188 RIQs and 603 RLQs. This sample is constructed independently of X-ray properties but has a high X-ray detection rate (85%); it provides broad and dense coverage of the l-z plane, including at high redshifts (22% of objects have z=2-5), and it extends to high radio-loudness values (33% of objects have R*=3-5, using logarithmic units). We measure the "excess" X-ray luminosity of RIQs and RLQs relative to radio-quiet quasars (RQQs) as a function of radio loudness and luminosity, and parameterize the X-ray luminosity of RIQs and RLQs both as a function of optical/UV luminosity and also as a joint function of optical/UV and radio luminosity. RIQs are only modestly X-ray bright relative to RQQs; it is only at high values of radio-loudness (R*>3.5) and radio luminosity that RLQs become strongly X-ray bright. We find no evidence for evolution in the X-ray properties of RIQs and RLQs with redshift (implying jet-linked IC/CMB emission does not contribute substantially to the nuclear X-ray continuum). Finally, we consider a model in which the nuclear X-ray emission contains both disk/corona-linked and jet-linked components and demonstrate that the X-ray jet-linked emission is likely beamed but to a lesser degree than applies to the radio jet. This model is used to investigate the increasing dominance of jet-linked X-ray emission at low inclinations.
