与Subaru/IRCS+ AO和GTC/CanariCam合并的邻近星系NGC 6240的两个掩埋活动星系核的近中红外成像和光谱学
Near- to Mid- Infrared Imaging and Spectroscopy of Two Buried AGNs of the Nearby Merging Galaxy NGC 6240 with Subaru/IRCS+AO and GTC/CanariCam
摘要：
本文报道了利用斯巴鲁望远镜上的红外照相机和摄谱仪对邻近合并星系NGC 6240进行的近红外K '、L'和M'波段成像观测。观测是在Subaru自适应光学系统的帮助下进行的，获得的空间分辨率约为0.10- 0.20 $^{\prime\prime}$。我们还获得了新的中红外图像的Si-2过滤带（8.7 $μ$ m）和N-波段（7.5- 13 $μ$ m）光谱与加那利大望远镜上的加那利凸轮的空间分辨率为0.4- 0.5 $^{\prime\prime}$。在K'波段的图像中，星系的两个核都显示出双峰，表明了源的复杂几何结构，而L'，M '和Si-2波段的图像显示了两个核中的单个紧凑结构。假设中心核在波长大于3.8 $μ$ m处被观测到与被掩埋的活动星系核加热的尘埃有关，我们用额外的文献值重新评估了南核2 - 30 $μ$ m的光谱能量分布（SED），并使用Nenkova等人（2008）的cluristorus模型和贝叶斯拟合方法进行了SED+光谱拟合。模型拟合表明，在南核的高覆盖因子环面发射也被宿主星系中的前景尘埃所掩盖。活动星系核南核的热光度估计值$L_{\rm bol}({\rm AGN})\sim1\times10^{45}$ [erg $\cdot$ s $^{-1}$ ]约占系统总光度的40%。
英文摘要：
We report near-infrared K', L', and M' band imaging observations of the nearby merging galaxy NGC 6240 with the Infrared Camera and Spectrograph on the Subaru telescope. The observations were performed with the assistance of the Subaru Adaptive Optics System, and the achieved spatial resolutions were around 0.10--0.20$^{\prime\prime}$. We also obtained new mid-infrared imaging in the Si-2 filter band (8.7$μ$m) and N-band (7.5--13$μ$m) spectroscopy of this galaxy with the CanariCam on the Gran Telescopio Canarias with a spatial resolution of 0.4--0.5$^{\prime\prime}$. In the K' band image the two nuclei of the galaxy each show a double-peak suggesting the complex geometry of the source, while the L', M', and Si-2 band images show single compact structures in each of the two nuclei. Assuming that the center core observed at wavelengths longer than 3.8$μ$m is associated with dust heated by the buried AGN, we re-evaluated the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the southern nucleus from 2 to 30$μ$m with the additional literature values, and performed the SED+spectroscopy fitting using the clumpy torus models of Nenkova et al. (2008) and a Bayesian fitting approach. The model fit suggests that the high covering factor torus emission in the southern nucleus is also obscured by foreground dust in the host galaxy. The estimated AGN bolometric luminosity of the southern nucleus, $L_{\rm bol}({\rm AGN})\sim1\times10^{45}$ [erg$\cdot$s$^{-1}$], accounts for approximately 40% of the whole luminosity of the system.
