监测Stripe 82中的类星体颜色变化

Monitoring Quasar Colour Variability in Stripe 82

Jesse A. Rogerson, Patrick B. Hall, Chelsea MacLeod, Zeljko Ivezic

摘要:

宽吸收线(BAL)槽的变化主要是由于横向于我们视线的云运动。变化发生的速率指示云的速度,这可以提供云与中心源的距离的约束。这需要在可变性事件期间进行详细的光谱分析。这种光谱已经被证明是难以捉摸的,这表明变异的时间尺度要么太短而无法捕捉,要么太长而无法注意到,直到足够的时间过去。BAL类星体颜色的光度监测可能被用作早期预警系统,以触发BAL变化的时间分辨光谱监测。为此,我们正在分析BAL和非BAL颜色变化使用时间序列测光条纹82在斯隆数字巡天。

英文摘要:

Broad Absorption Line (BAL) trough variability is predominantly due to cloud motion transverse to our line of sight. The rate at which the variability occurs indicates the velocity of the cloud, which can provide constraints on the cloud's distance from the central source. This requires detailed spectroscopy during a variability event. Such spectra have proven elusive, suggesting either the timescale of variability is too short to be caught, or too long to notice until a sufficient amount of time has passed. Photometric monitoring of BAL quasar colours may potentially be used as an early warning system to trigger time resolved spectroscopic monitoring of BAL variability. Towards this end, we are analyzing both BAL and non-BAL colour variability using time series photometry from Stripe 82 in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.
