X射线选择性AGN的聚集、偏倚和聚集模式

Clustering, Bias and the Accretion Mode of X-ray selected AGN

L. Koutoulidis, M. Plionis, I. Georgantopoulos, N. Fanidakis

摘要:

本文研究了Chandra CDF-N、CDF-S、eCDF-S、COSMOS和AEGIS在0.5-8 keV波段的1466个X射线选择活动星系核的空间成团特性。X射线源的红移区间为0<z<3,中值为Med{z}= 0.976。我们采用投影两点关联函数来推断空间聚类,发现聚类长度为r 0 = 7.2+-0.6 h^{-1} Mpc,斜率为γ=1.48+-0.12,对应的偏差为b=2.26+-0.16。使用两种不同的晕偏差模型,我们一致地估计出暗物质宿主晕的平均质量为Mh \sim 1.3(+-0.3)x 10^{13} h^{-1} M_sun。活动星系核的X射线偏置和相应的暗物质宿主晕质量,明显高于光学选择活动星系核的相应值(在相同的红移)。%表示活动星系核的不同群体。X射线选择活动星系核偏置的红移演化表明,与其他最近的研究一致,一个独特的暗物质晕质量并不适合在所有不同的红移探测偏置。此外,我们还研究了团簇强度是否与X射线亮度有关。为此,我们认为只有650个源周围的z~1和我们应用的程序来解开的依赖集群红移。我们发现一个积极的集群长度依赖于X射线亮度的迹象,在这个意义上说,更明亮的源有一个更大的集群长度,因此更高的暗物质晕质量。详细地说,我们发现,当平均光度差为δ \log_{10} L_x ~ 1时,晕的质量差约为3倍。这些发现似乎与一个星系形成模型相一致,在这个模型中,吸积到中等光度活动星系核中的超大质量黑洞上的气体主要来自宿主星系周围的热晕大气。

英文摘要:

We present the spatial clustering properties of 1466 X-ray selected AGN compiled from the Chandra CDF-N, CDF-S, eCDF-S, COSMOS and AEGIS fields in the 0.5-8 keV band. The X-ray sources span the redshift interval 0<z<3 and have a median value of Med{z}=0.976.We employ the projected two-point correlation function to infer the spatial clustering and find a clustering length of r0= 7.2+-0.6 h^{-1} Mpc and a slope of γ=1.48+-0.12, which corresponds to a bias of b=2.26+-0.16. Using two different halo bias models, we consistently estimate an average dark-matter host halo mass of Mh\sim 1.3 (+-0.3) x 10^{13} h^{-1} M_sun. The X-ray AGN bias and the corresponding dark-matter host halo mass, are significantly higher than the corresponding values of optically selected AGN (at the same redshifts). %indicating different populations of AGN. The redshift evolution of the X-ray selected AGN bias indicates, in agreement with other recent studies, that a unique dark-matter halo mass does not fit well the bias at all the different redshifts probed. Furthermore, we investigate if there is a dependence of the clustering strength on X-ray luminosity. To this end we consider only 650 sources around z~1 and we apply a procedure to disentangle the dependence of clustering on redshift. We find indications for a positive dependence of the clustering length on X-ray luminosity, in the sense that the more luminous sources have a larger clustering length and hence a higher dark-matter halo mass. In detail we find for an average luminosity difference of δ\log_{10} L_x ~ 1 a halo mass difference of a factor of ~3. These findings appear to be consistent with a galaxy-formation model where the gas accreted onto the supermassive black hole in intermediate luminosity AGN comes mostly from the hot-halo atmosphere around the host galaxy.
