类星体UV宽吸收线研究中的时变和其它复杂性:辐射驱动盘风的数值模拟结果

On time variability and other complications in studying the UV broad absorption lines of quasars: results from numerical simulations of radiation driven disk winds

Daniel Proga, Paola Rodríguez Hidalgo, Fred Hamann

摘要:

我们回顾了活动星系核中辐射驱动盘风的轴对称、含时流体动力学模拟的主要结果。我们说明了这种模拟的能力,提供有用的见解观测天文学的三个领域:光谱学,时变和成像。具体来说,模拟预测的合成线轮廓类似于类星体中观察到的宽吸收线。辐射驱动的磁盘风,已被预测的模拟的本质上依赖于时间的性质可以支持越来越多的观察到的紫外线吸收线的显着变化。最后,模拟预测的强度图给出了物理和几何的理由现象学推导的事实,一个适当的解释所观察到的线吸收需要风覆盖因子被认为是部分的,不均匀的,和速度依赖。

英文摘要:

We review the main results from axisymmetric, time-dependent hydrodynamical simulations of radiation driven disk winds in AGN. We illustrate the capability of such simulations to provide useful insights into the three domains of observational astronomy: spectroscopy, time-variability, and imaging. Specifically, the synthetic line profiles predicted by the simulations resemble the broad absorption lines observed in quasars. The intrinsically time dependent nature of radiation driven disk winds that have been predicted by the simulations can be supported by a growing number of the observed dramatic variability in the UV absorption lines. And finally, the intensity maps predicted by the simulations give physical and geometrical justification to the phenomenologically deduced fact that a proper interpretation of the observed line absorption requires the wind covering factor to be considered as being partial, inhomogeneous, and velocity dependent.
