打破定律:核Sersic和Sersic星系的M_{bh} - M_{spheroid}质量关系

Breaking the law: the M_{bh}-M_{spheroid} mass relations for core-Sersic and Sersic galaxies

Alister W. Graham

摘要:

超大质量黑洞质量M_bh与宿主椭球体动力学质量M_sph之间的对数线性关系需要进行显著的修正。核心星系,通常M_bh > 2 × 10^8 M_Sun,被认为是在干合并事件中形成的,被证明可以用线性关系很好地描述,其中黑洞质量的中位数是0.36% --大约是旧的恒常值的两倍。更有意义的是,在(非伪隆起)低质量系统中,M_bh ~(M_sph)^2:具体地说,log[M_bh/M_Sun] =(1.92+/-0.38)log[M_sph/7 × 10 ^{10}M_Sun] +(8.38+/-0.17)。容纳10^6 M_Sun黑洞的“经典”球状体的M_bh/M_sph约为0.025%。这些新的关系式(i)使关系式M_bh ~ sigma ^5和L ~ sigma^x(对于明亮的,指数x等于5和2)具有一致性(M_B < -20.5等)和微弱的球状体,分别,(ii)模仿非-(iii)证明了M_bh-(Sersic n)图中的(对数线性)行为,(iii)证明了Sersic存在一个以前忽略的M_bh ~ L^{2.5}关系(即\非核心Sersic)星系,以及(iv)解决过去的冲突(在质量预测)与M_bh-sigma关系在低质量端。此外,“经典”球状体的M_bh-M_sph关系的弯曲性质将具有许多重要的含义,涉及(i)星系/黑洞形成理论,(ii)寻找基本的黑洞标度关系,(iii)其他星系中的黑洞质量预测,(iv)所谓的伪隆起探测,(v)基于光度函数的黑洞质量函数和质量密度的估计,(vi)天基引力波探测的预测,(vii)与核星团标度关系的联系,(viii)不同宇宙时代的演化研究,(ix)将不活跃的黑洞质量与低质量活动星系核数据进行比较和校准,等等。

英文摘要:

The popular log-linear relation between supermassive black hole mass, M_bh, and the dynamical mass of the host spheroid, M_sph, is shown to require a significant correction. Core galaxies, typically with M_bh > 2x10^8 M_Sun and thought to be formed in dry merger events, are shown to be well described by a linear relation for which the median black hole mass is 0.36% - roughly double the old value of constancy. Of greater significance is that M_bh ~ (M_sph)^2 among the (non-pseudobulge) lower-mass systems: specifically, log[M_bh/M_Sun] = (1.92+/-0.38)log[M_sph/7x10^{10}M_Sun] + (8.38+/-0.17). `Classical' spheroids hosting a 10^6 M_Sun black hole will have M_bh/M_sph ~ 0.025%. These new relations (i) bring consistency to the relation M_bh ~ sigma^5 and the fact that L ~ sigma^x with exponent x equal to 5 and 2 for bright (M_B < -20.5 mag) and faint spheroids, respectively, (ii) mimic the non-(log-linear) behavior in the M_bh-(Sersic n) diagram, (iii) necessitate the existence of a previously over-looked M_bh ~ L^{2.5} relation for Sersic (i.e.\ not core-Sersic) galaxies, and (iv) resolve past conflicts (in mass prediction) with the M_bh-sigma relation at the low-mass end. Furthermore, the bent nature of the M_bh-M_sph relation for `classical' spheroids will have a host of important implications that relate to (i) galaxy/black hole formation theories, (ii) searches for the fundamental black hole scaling relation, (iii) black hole mass predictions in other galaxies, (iv) alleged pseudobulge detections, (v) estimates of the black hole mass function and mass density based on luminosity functions, (vi) predictions for space-based gravitational wave detections, (vii) connections with nuclear star cluster scaling relations, (viii) evolutionary studies over different cosmic epochs, (ix) comparisons and calibrations matching inactive black hole masses with low-mass AGN data, and more.
