一种新的射电宁静类星体定向指示器

A New Orientation Indicator for Radio-Quiet Quasars

Todd A. Boroson

摘要:

[O III] 5007和Fe II光学发射线的速度由Hu等人(2008)相对于2265个类星体的系统红移测量,显示出具有极性流出的盘状BLR结构的特征。具有大的[O III]流出的物体没有显示Fe II偏移速度,并且被看到是极上的。具有大的Fe II流入的物体没有显示[O III]偏移速度,并且被看到是边缘上的。这种解释得到了样本内无线电大声物体的形态以及先前对宽线和窄线区域的几何形状的确定的支持。然而,对既没有Fe II也没有[O III]速度偏移的物体的分析表明,这两组的爱丁顿比也不同,并且在这个子集内,可以识别出具有高和低爱丁顿比但具有相反方向的相应组。使用样品的这四个子集,可以分离取向和爱丁顿比的影响,并且在某些情况下,可以量化。在视连续光度和广泛的H-β的宽度和强度的变化建议一个模型,其中连续和H-β从磁盘的表面,这是不平坦的高爱丁顿比对象发出。取向对导出的性质,黑洞质量和爱丁顿比的影响,是显着的,但不是很大。[O III]流出似乎影响了这条线的宽度,以及它的质心。

英文摘要:

The velocities of the [O III] 5007 and optical Fe II emission lines, measured relative to the systemic redshifts of 2265 QSOs by Hu et al. (2008), show the signature of a disklike BLR structure with polar outflows. Objects with large [O III] outflows show no Fe II offset velocity and are seen pole-on. Objects with large Fe II inflow show no [O III] offset velocity and are seen edge-on. This interpretation is supported by the morphology of the radio-loud objects within the sample and by previous determinations of the geometry of the broad and narrow line regions. Analysis of the objects with neither Fe II or [O III] velocity offsets, however, show that the two groups also differ in Eddington ratio, and, within this subset, corresponding groups with high and low Eddington ratio but with the opposite orientation can be identified. Using these four subsets of the sample, the effects of orientation and Eddington ratio can be separated, and, in some cases, quantified. The changes in apparent continuum luminosity and broad H-beta width and strength suggest a model in which both continuum and H-beta are emitted from the surface of the disk, which is less flattened in high Eddington ratio objects. The effects of orientation on the derived properties, black hole mass and Eddington ratio, are significant, though not large. The [O III] outflow appears to influence the width of that line, as well as its centroid.
