Kohonen选择的具有弱发射线的SDSS类星体的大样本:选择效应和统计性质

A large sample of Kohonen-selected SDSS quasars with weak emission lines: selection effects and statistical properties

H. Meusinger, N. Balafkan

摘要:

我们在斯隆数字巡天数据发布7的光谱数据中进行了WLQ搜索,该数据基于Kohonen自组织地图,用于近10^5个类星体光谱。最终的样本由365个类星体组成,特别是包括46个WLQ的子样本,其等效宽度W(Mg II)< 11 A,W(CIV)< 4.8 A。我们比较了WLQ的各种性质与普通类星体的控制样本。特别注意选择效应。平均而言,WLQ有着更高的光度、爱丁顿比和吸积率。大约一半的过剩来自选择偏差,但内在的过剩仍然可能主要是由较高的吸积率。光谱能量分布在静止帧波长> 1500 A处显示出更蓝的连续谱。在光学和UV的可变性是相对较低的,即使考虑到可变性光度反相关。无线电探测到的类星体和核心主导的无线电源的百分比显着高于对照样品,而平均无线电响度较低。我们的WLQ样本的属性可以一致地理解,假设它由一个混合的类星体在一个阶段的增加吸积活动和波束射电安静类星体的开始。(修改摘要以匹配arXiv格式)

英文摘要:

We performed a search for WLQs in the spectroscopic data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 based on Kohonen self-organising maps for nearly 10^5 quasar spectra. The final sample consists of 365 quasars and includes in particular a subsample of 46 WLQs with equivalent widths W(MgII) < 11 A and W(CIV) < 4.8 A. We compared various properties of the WLQs with those of control samples of ordinary quasars. Particular attention was paid to selection effects. The WLQs have, on average, significantly higher luminosities, Eddington ratios, and accretion rates. About half of the excess comes from a selection bias, but an intrinsic excess remains probably caused primarily by higher accretion rates. The spectral energy distribution shows a bluer continuum at rest-frame wavelengths > 1500 A. The variability in the optical and UV is relatively low, even taking the variability-luminosity anti-correlation into account. The percentage of radio detected quasars and of core-dominant radio sources is significantly higher than for the control sample, whereas the mean radio-loudness is lower. The properties of our WLQ sample can be consistently understood assuming that it consists of a mix of quasars at the beginning of a stage of increased accretion activity and of beamed radio-quiet quasars.
