近距离射电强AGN的中红外成像

Mid-Infrared Imaging of Nearby Radio-Loud AGN

Eric S. Perlman, Matthew Merlo, Christopher Packham, Rachel Mason, Los Piratas

摘要:

我们提出了高空间分辨率的MIR观测几个附近的射电大声活动星系核(RLAGN),这是使用双子座南北望远镜。在观测到的六个物体中,我们在Si-2(8.7微米)和Si-6(12.3微米)过滤器中检测到了五个,其中两个物体显示出围绕未解析核的低水平扩展发射的一些证据。在Pictor A中,我们还获得了Qs(18.3微米)的图像,其通量仅为Spitzer图像中所见的一半,这表明结构在弧秒尺度上。我们还使用了Si-6(12.3微米)通量测量我们的MIR通量和X射线光度之间的相关性进行调查,并比较这对AGN的结果一般。这项工作也为未来这些物体的高分辨率成像和光谱学奠定了基础。

英文摘要:

We present high spatial resolution MIR observations for several nearby radio loud active galactic nuclei (RLAGN), which were obtained using the Gemini North and South telescopes. Of the six observed objects, we detected five in the Si-2 (8.7 microns) and Si-6 (12.3 microns) filters, of which two objects show some evidence of low level extended emission surrounding the unresolved nucleus. In Pictor A, we also obtained an image in Qs (18.3 microns) that has a flux of only half that seen in the Spitzer image, suggesting structure on arcsecond scales. We also used the Si-6 (12.3 microns) flux measurement to investigate correlation between our MIR flux and xray luminosity and compare this to results for AGN in general. This work also forms a basis for future high resolution imaging and spectroscopy of these objects.
