摘要:

我们研究的运动学和激发机制的H2和[Fe II]线在67个发射线星系的样本与红外望远镜设施SpeX近红外(NIR,0.8-2.4微米)光谱与新的光电离模型。H2发射线比窄线区(NLR)线窄,这表明两者很可能在运动学上不相连。新的模型和发射线比表明,热激发不仅在活动星系核中起重要作用,而且在恒星形成星系中也起重要作用。在恒星形成星系的热激发的重要性可能与超新星遗迹的存在接近的区域发射H2线。这一假设进一步得到了H2的振动和转动温度之间的相似性的支持。我们确认,涉及线比H2 2.121/Br_gamma和[Fe II] 1.257/Pa_beta的图是根据发射线物体的主要活动类型分离发射线物体的有效工具。我们建议新的限制线的比率,以区分不同类型的核活动。

英文摘要:

We study the kinematics and excitation mechanisms of H2 and [Fe II] lines in a sample of 67 emission-line galaxies with Infrared Telescope Facility SpeX near-infrared (NIR, 0.8-2.4 micrometers) spectroscopy together with new photoionisation models. H2 emission lines are systematically narrower than narrow-line region (NLR) lines, suggesting that the two are, very likely, kinematically disconnected. The new models and emission-line ratios show that the thermal excitation plays an important role not only in active galactic nuclei but also in star forming galaxies. The importance of the thermal excitation in star forming galaxies may be associated with the presence of supernova remnants close to the region emitting H2 lines. This hypothesis is further supported by the similarity between the vibrational and rotational temperatures of H2. We confirm that the diagram involving the line ratios H2 2.121/Br_gamma and [Fe II] 1.257/Pa_beta is an efficient tool for separating emission-line objects according to their dominant type of activity. We suggest new limits to the line ratios in order to discriminate between the different types of nuclear activity.
