摘要:

我们报告的结果,同时监测活动采用8钱德拉X射线(0.5-10千电子伏)和6 VLA/EVLA(8.4 GHz)的射电观测NGC 4051超过7个月。在8.4 GHz无线电波段观察到紧凑型喷气机的证据;这是建立在越来越多的证据上的,即喷气机的产生即使在无线电安静的塞弗茨也可能是普遍的。假设核中的局部漫发射相对可忽略,结果还表明L_radio与L_X射线^(-0.72+/-0.04)成正比的逆相关性。目前的研究将“低/硬”状态下的超大质量黑洞和恒星质量黑洞的质量与X射线光度和射电光度联系起来,提出了一个“吸积到黑洞上的基本平面“,它具有L_radio正比于L_X射线^(0.67+/-0.12)的正相关性。我们的同步结果不同于这个关系超过11西格玛,表明一个单独的模式的吸积和喷射可能在这个系统中运行。对文献的回顾表明,在NGC 4051中看到的逆相关在其他三个黑洞系统中也可以看到,所有这些系统都在其爱丁顿光度的10%附近吸积,这可能表明在高爱丁顿分数下存在一种独特的盘喷流耦合模式。我们讨论了我们的结果的背景下,磁盘和射流在黑洞和吸积整个黑洞质量尺度。

英文摘要:

We report on the results of a simultaneous monitoring campaign employing eight Chandra X-ray (0.5-10 keV) and six VLA/EVLA (8.4 GHz) radio observations of NGC 4051 over seven months. Evidence for compact jets is observed in the 8.4 GHz radio band; This builds on mounting evidence that jet production may be prevalent even in radio-quiet Seyferts. Assuming comparatively negligible local diffuse emission in the nucleus, the results also demonstrate an inverse correlation of L_radio proportional to L_X-ray ^(-0.72+/-0.04) . Current research linking the mass of supermassive black holes and stellar-mass black holes in the "low/hard" state to X-ray luminosities and radio luminosities suggest a "fundamental plane of accretion onto black holes" that has a positive correlation of L_radio proportional to L_X-ray^(0.67+/-0.12) . Our simultaneous results differ from this relation by more than 11 sigma, indicating that a separate mode of accretion and ejection may operate in this system. A review of the literature shows that the inverse correlation seen in NGC 4051 is seen in three other black hole systems, all of which accrete at near 10% of their Eddington luminosity, perhaps suggesting a distinct mode of disk-jet coupling at high Eddington fractions. We discuss our results in the context of disk and jets in black holes and accretion across the black hole mass scale.
