摘要:

我们结合哈勃空间望远镜从大天文台起源深巡天的图像与档案甚大望远镜和凯克光谱的样本11个X射线选择宽线活动星系核的红移范围1<z<2研究黑洞质量-恒星质量的关系了10 Gyrs的回望时间。球状分量的恒星质量是由多滤光片表面光度法导出的。黑洞的质量估计从宽MgII发射线的宽度和3000 A的核光度。与均匀测量的局域样本比较,考虑选择效应,我们发现演化形式为M_BH/M_spheroid ~(1+z)^(1.96+/-0.55),与我们以前基于球体光度的研究结果一致。然而,这个结果更准确,因为它不需要对光度演化进行校正,因此避免了相关的和主要的系统不确定性。我们也测量恒星的总质量。结合我们的样本和文献中的数据,我们发现M_BH/M_host ~(1+z)^(1.15+/-0.15),与黑洞(在M_BH ~ 10^8-9 M_sun范围内)先于其宿主星系形成的假设一致。大约三分之一的天体位于螺旋星系中;没有一个宿主星系显示出相互作用或主要合并活动的迹象。结合较慢的主机恒星质量的演变相比,球状体恒星质量,我们的研究结果表明,长期的演变或未成年人合并中发挥不可忽视的作用,在生长的BH和球状体。

英文摘要:

We combine Hubble Space Telescope images from the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey with archival Very Large Telescope and Keck spectra of a sample of 11 X-ray selected broad-line active galactic nuclei in the redshift range 1<z<2 to study the black hole mass - stellar mass relation out to a lookback time of 10 Gyrs. Stellar masses of the spheroidal component are derived from multi-filter surface photometry. Black hole masses are estimated from the width of the broad MgII emission line and the 3000A nuclear luminosity. Comparing with a uniformly measured local sample and taking into account selection effects, we find evolution in the form M_BH/M_spheroid ~ (1+z)^(1.96+/-0.55), in agreement with our earlier studies based on spheroid luminosity. However, this result is more accurate because it does not require a correction for luminosity evolution and therefore avoids the related and dominant systematic uncertainty. We also measure total stellar masses. Combining our sample with data from the literature, we find M_BH/M_host ~ (1+z)^(1.15+/-0.15), consistent with the hypothesis that black holes (in the range M_BH ~ 10^8-9 M_sun) predate the formation of their host galaxies. Roughly one third of our objects reside in spiral galaxies; none of the host galaxies reveal signs of interaction or major merger activity. Combined with the slower evolution in host stellar masses compared to spheroid stellar masses, our results indicate that secular evolution or minor mergers play a non-negligible role in growing both BHs and spheroids.
