摘要:

我们提出了一个修正的测量中心黑洞(Mbh)在塞弗特1星系NGC 4151。新的恒星动力学质量的测量是通过应用轴对称轨道叠加代码获得的近红外积分场数据使用自适应光学与双子座NIFS摄谱仪。当我们的模型试图同时拟合NIFS运动学和其他低空间分辨率运动学时,我们的结果敏感地依赖于卡方的计算方式-可能是核区域外立即出现的复杂棒运动学的结果。当仅在核区域中的高空间分辨率运动学约束被包括在拟合中时,获得最鲁棒的结果。我们对BH质量和H带质光比的最佳估计分别为Mbh~(3.76+/-1.15 E7 Msun(1-sigma误差)和M/L(H带)~0.34+/-0.03 Msun/Lsun(3-sigma误差)(引用的误差反映了模型的不确定性)。我们的BH质量测量与混响映射(3.57[+0.45/-0.37 E7 Msun])和气体运动学(3.0[+0.75/-2.2 E7 Msun; 1-sigma误差)的估计一致,我们的最佳拟合质光比与M/L(H波段)=0.4+/-0.2 Msun/Lsun的光度估计一致。NIFS的运动学给出了一个中心球速度色散σ_c=116+/-3 km/s,使这个对象稍微接近静止星系的M-sigma关系。虽然NGC 4151是仅有的几个Seyfert 1星系之一,其中有可能获得直接的动态BH质量测量-因此,混响映射质量尺度的独立校准-复杂的酒吧运动学使它不太适合于这一目的。

英文摘要:

We present a revised measurement of the mass of the central black hole (Mbh) in the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4151. The new stellar dynamical mass measurement is derived by applying an axisymmetric orbit-superposition code to near-infrared integral field data obtained using adaptive optics with the Gemini NIFS spectrograph. When our models attempt to fit both the NIFS kinematics and additional low spatial resolution kinematics, our results depend sensitively on how chi-squared is computed--probably a consequence of complex bar kinematics that manifest immediately outside the nuclear region. The most robust results are obtained when only the high spatial resolution kinematic constraints in the nuclear region are included in the fit. Our best estimates for the BH mass and H-band mass-to-light ratio are Mbh~(3.76+/-1.15)E7 Msun (1-sigma error) and M/L(H-band)~0.34+/-0.03 Msun/Lsun (3-sigma error), respectively (the quoted errors reflect the model uncertainties). Our BH mass measurement is consistent with estimates from both reverberation mapping (3.57[+0.45/-0.37]E7 Msun) and gas kinematics (3.0[+0.75/-2.2]E7 Msun; 1-sigma errors), and our best-fit mass-to-light ratio is consistent with the photometric estimate of M/L(H-band)=0.4+/-0.2 Msun/Lsun. The NIFS kinematics give a central bulge velocity dispersion sigma_c=116+/-3 km/s, bringing this object slightly closer to the M-sigma relation for quiescent galaxies. Although NGC 4151 is one of only a few Seyfert 1 galaxies in which it is possible to obtain a direct dynamical BH mass measurement--and thus, an independent calibration of the reverberation mapping mass scale--the complex bar kinematics makes it less than ideally suited for this purpose.
