孤立星系的核活动

Nuclear Activity In Isolated Galaxies

Francisco Hernandez-Ibarra, Deborah Dultzin, Yair Krongold, Ascencion Del Olmo, Jaime Perea, Jesus Gonzalez

摘要:

我们提出了一个光谱研究的事件活动星系核活动在两个样本的孤立星系(Karachentseva,V.E. & Varela,J.)。我们的结果表明,对于有发射线的星系,非热核活动的发生率分别为43%和31%,而对于总的样品,非热核活动的发生率分别为40%和27%。这是我们第一次拥有大量真正的孤立星系(513个物体),统计上所有类型的数量都很可观。我们发现一个明确的关系之间的隆起质量和发生率的核活动的样品发射线。当我们考虑到没有发射线星系的完整样本时,这种关系变得更加平坦。大部分(约70%)的椭圆星系或早期型旋涡星系都有一个活动星系核,其中约70%是LINER。只有3%的活动星系核显示出宽线的存在(没有一个可以被归类为1型活动星系核)。这是一个值得注意的结果,即使我们考虑翘曲或clupletori,它也与统一模型完全不一致。最后,我们将孤立星系中活动星系核的大部分解释为超大质量黑洞长期演化的结果。

英文摘要:

We present a spectroscopic study of the incidence of AGN nuclear activity in two samples of isolated galaxies (Karachentseva, V.E. & Varela, J.). Our results show that the incidence of non-thermal nuclear activity is about 43% and 31% for galaxies with emission lines and for the total sample 40% and 27% respectively. For the first time we have a large number of bona-fide isolated galaxies (513 objects), with statistically significant number of all types. We find a clear relation between bulge mass and the incidence of nuclear activity in the sample with emission lines. This relation becomes flatter when we take into account the complete sample with no emission line galaxies. A large fraction (~70%) of elliptical galaxies or early type spirals have an active galactic nucleus and ~70% of them are LINERs. Only 3% of the AGN show the presence of broad lines (a not a single one can be classified as type 1 AGN). This is a remarkable result which is completely at odds with the unified model even if we consider warped or clumpy tori. Finally, we interpret the large fraction of AGN in isolated galaxies as the result of secular evolution of their supermasive black holes.
