走向射电强AGN统一及其与吸积联系的新范式

Toward a New Paradigm for the Unification of Radio Loud AGN and its Connection to Accretion

Markos Georganopoulos, Eileen T. Meyer, Giovanni Fossati, Matthew L. Lister

摘要:

我们最近认为(Meyer 2011),射电响亮的活动星系核的集体属性指向两个家庭的源的存在,一个强大的源与单一的速度射流和一个较弱的喷流与显着的速度梯度在辐射等离子体。这些家庭也对应于不同的吸积模式,因此不同的热和发射线的内在属性:强大的源有辐射有效的吸积盘,而在弱源吸积必须是辐射效率低下。在这里,我们简要回顾了我们最近的工作后,我们提出了以下发现,支持我们的统一方案:(i)沿断裂的序列对齐的对象,喷流动能增加。(ii)在对准物体序列的强分支中,BLL的分数随着喷射功率的增加而减小。(iii)对于强大的源,BLL的分数随着更多的未对准物体而增加,如通过核心到扩展的无线电发射所测量的。我们的研究结果也是兼容的可能性,一个给定的吸积功率产生类似的动能喷流。

英文摘要:

We recently argued (Meyer 2011) that the collective properties of radio loud active galactic nuclei point to the existence of two families of sources, one of powerful sources with single velocity jets and one of weaker jets with significant velocity gradients in the radiating plasma. These families also correspond to different accretion modes and therefore different thermal and emission line intrinsic properties: powerful sources have radiatively efficient accretion disks, while in weak sources accretion must be radiatively inefficient. Here, after we briefly review of our recent work, we present the following findings that support our unification scheme: (i) along the broken sequence of aligned objects, the jet kinetic power increases. (ii) in the powerful branch of the sequence of aligned objects the fraction of BLLs decreases with increasing jet power. (iii) for powerful sources, the fraction of BLLs increases for more un-aligned objects, as measured by the core to extended radio emission. Our results are also compatible with the possibility that a given accretion power produces jets of comparable kinetic power.
