The largest mid-infrared atlas of active galactic nuclei at sub-arcsecond spatial scales
摘要:
我们提出了最大的中红外活动星系核图集在亚弧秒空间尺度包含249个对象。它包括迄今为止进行的所有地基高分辨和平号观测。这个星表包含了大量的新观测。多个滤光片中的光度测量允许表征大多数物体的灰尘排放特性。由于它的大小和特性,这个样本非常适合AGN统一研究。特别是,我们讨论了扩大的MIR-X射线相关延伸超过六个数量级的光度和潜在的探针不同的物理机制。最后,测试活动星系核类型之间的内在差异,我们讨论的MIR-X射线性质的依赖关系,相对于基本的活动星系核参数,如吸积率和柱密度和覆盖因子的遮蔽材料。
英文摘要:
We present the largest mid-infrared atlas of active galactic nuclei at sub-arcsecond spatial scales containing 249 objects. It comprises all ground-based HR MIR observations performed to date. This catalog includes a large number of new observations. The photometry in multiple filters allows for characterizing the properties of the dust emission for most objects. Because of its size and characteristics, this sample is very well-suited for AGN unification studies. In particular, we discuss the enlarged MIR--X-ray correlation which extends over six orders of magnitude in luminosity and potentially probes different physical mechanisms. Finally, tests for intrinsic differences between the AGN types are presented and we discuss dependencies of MIR--X-ray properties with respect to fundamental AGN parameters such as accretion rate and the column density and covering factor of obscuring material.
