LINERS中低光度活动星系核的光谱模型:平流主导的吸积和喷流的作用

Spectral Models for Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei in LINERs: The Role of Advection-dominated Accretion and Jets

Rodrigo S. Nemmen, Thaisa Storchi-Bergmann, Michael Eracleous

摘要:

通过模拟12个低光度活动星系核(LLAGN)在低电离核发射线区(LINER)的光谱能量分布(SED),对低光度活动星系核(LLAGN)吸积流和喷流的物理性质进行了探索性研究。这些SED是我们从黑洞附近的高分辨率无线电、X射线和光学/紫外线观测中构建的。我们采用了一个吸积-喷流耦合模型,该模型包括一个内部对流主导的吸积流(ADAF)和一个外部标准薄盘。我们提出了最适合的模型,其中无论是ADAF或射流占主导地位的X射线发射。在我们的样本中的六个源显示相对于ADAF和喷气模型的光学紫外线过剩,这种过剩可以解释为从截断盘的发射与过渡半径30-225 Rs在其中四个。在几乎所有的光源中,光辐射也可以归因于质量约为1 E7 - 1 E8 Msun的未分辨的老星团。我们发现的吸积率和喷流功率之间的相关性和反相关的射电响度和吸积率的证据。我们证实了以前的研究结果,无线电发射是严重低估ADAF模型和解释的相对论性喷流。我们发现的X射线和热光度和轻微的红外过量的平均模型SED相比,类星体之间的非线性关系的证据。我们认为,硬度的X射线光谱可以用来识别X射线发射机制和讨论的方向,在理解的X射线的起源进展。

英文摘要:

We perform an exploratory study of the physical properties of accretion flows and jets in low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs) by modeling the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 12 LLAGNs in low-ionization nuclear emission-line regions (LINERs). These SEDs we constructed from high-resolution radio, X-ray and optical/UV observations of the immediate vicinity of the black hole. We adopt a coupled accretion-jet model comprising an inner advection-dominated accretion flow (ADAF) and an outer standard thin disk. We present best-fit models in which either the ADAF or the jet dominate the X-ray emission. Six sources in our sample display an optical-UV excess with respect to ADAF and jet models; this excess can be explained as emission from the truncated disk with transition radii 30-225 Rs in four of them. In almost all sources the optical emission can also be attributed to unresolved, old stellar clusters with masses ~1E7-1E8 Msun. We find evidence for a correlation between the accretion rate and jet power and an anti-correlation between the radio-loudness and the accretion rate. We confirm previous findings that the radio emission is severely underpredicted by ADAF models and explained by the relativistic jet. We find evidence for a nonlinear relation between the X-ray and bolometric luminosities and a slight IR excess in the average model SED compared to that of quasars. We suggest that the hardness of the X-ray spectrum can be used to identify the X-ray emission mechanism and discuss directions for progress in understanding the origin of the X-rays.
