活动星系核在z ~ 3以来亮红外星系相中的作用

Role of AGNs in the Luminous Infrared Galaxy phase since z ~ 3

摘要:

为了了解星系演化过程中活动星系核(AGN)与恒星形成之间的相互作用,我们对COSMOS(Cosmic Evolution Survey)观测场的142个星系进行了X射线和70μm观测。我们的数据来自Chandra和XMM-Newton观测的X射线点源星表和Spitzer-MIPS观测的远红外70μm点源星表。虽然我们样品的IRAC [3.6μm]-[4.5μm]和[5.8μm]-[8.0μm]的颜色表明,只有约63%的源可以被归类为活动星系,但静止框架2-10 keV的光度占总红外光度的比例(8-1000μm)表明,所有样品的X射线光度都比纯恒星形成星系的预期值高,说明活动星系核存在于我们所有的来源中通过对X射线硬度比的分析,我们发现同时具有70μm和X射线探测的源相对于整个X射线选择源总体具有更高的硬度比,这表明在70μm探测源中存在更多的X射线吸收。此外,我们发现,70μm探测到的有和没有X射线发射的源的远红外颜色是相似的,这表明远红外发射可能主要由恒星形成提供动力。

英文摘要:

In order to understand the interactions between active galactic nuclei (AGN) and star formation during the evolution of galaxies, we investigate 142 galaxies detected in both X-ray and 70μm observations in the COSMOS (Cosmic Evolution Survey) field. All of our data are obtained from the archive, X-ray point source catalogs from Chandra and XMM-Newton observations; far-infrared 70μm point source catalog from Spitzer-MIPS observations. Although the IRAC [3.6μm]-[4.5μm] vs. [5.8μm]-[8.0μm] colours of our sample indicate that only ~63% of our sources would be classified as AGN, the ratio of the rest-frame 2-10 keV luminosity to the total infrared luminosity (8-1000μm) shows that all of the sample has comparatively higher X-ray luminosity than that expected from pure star-forming galaxies, suggesting the presence of an AGN in all of our sources. From the analysis of the X-ray hardness ratio, we find that sources with both 70μm and X-ray detection tend to have a higher hardness ratio relative to the whole X-ray selected source population, suggesting the presence of more X-ray absorption in the 70μm detected sources. In addition, we find that the observed far-infrared colours of 70μm detected sources with and without X-ray emission are similar, suggesting the far-infrared emission could be mainly powered by star formation.
