摘要:

作为对低红移类星体的中心引擎和宿主星系红外诊断的一个全面综述,我们介绍了斯皮策空间望远镜对所有z < 0.5的Palomar-Green(PG)类星体和z < 0.3的2 MASS类星体的光谱(5-40 μm)和光度(24,70和160 μm)测量。我们用160 μm的Herschel测量补充了这些数据。该样品由87个光学选择的PG类星体和52个近红外选择的2 MASS类星体组成。在这里,我们提出的数据,测量突出的光谱特征,并分离发射由于恒星形成的尘埃环核环面所发出的。我们发现,环面的中红外(5-30 μm)光谱形状与类星体的红外光度基本无关,散射为~ 0.2dex的SED形状。除了硅酸盐特征外,PG类星体(无遮蔽硅酸盐发射)和2 MASS类星体(遮蔽硅酸盐吸收)之间没有太大的区别。在这两种情况下都只观察到轻微的硅酸盐特征。在发射时,硅酸盐特征的峰值波长倾向于大于9.7 μm,这可能表明活动星系核附近的颗粒性质的影响。红外线的颜色与芳族特征的等效宽度相关,表明类星体中到远红外SED的斜率是一阶驱动的恒星形成在红外波段的辐射分数。

英文摘要:

As a step toward a comprehensive overview of the infrared diagnostics of the central engines and host galaxies of quasars at low redshift, we present Spitzer Space Telescope spectroscopic (5-40 μm) and photometric (24, 70 and 160 μm) measurements of all Palomar-Green (PG) quasars at z < 0.5 and 2MASS quasars at z < 0.3. We supplement these data with Herschel measurements at 160 μm. The sample is composed of 87 optically selected PG quasars and 52 near-IR selected 2MASS quasars. Here we present the data, measure the prominent spectral features, and separate emission due to star formation from that emitted by the dusty circumnuclear torus. We find that the mid-IR (5-30 μm) spectral shape for the torus is largely independent of quasar IR luminosity with scatter in the SED shape of ~ 0.2 dex. Except for the silicate features, no large difference is observed between PG (unobscured - silicate emission) and 2MASS (obscured - silicate absorption) quasars. Only mild silicate features are observed in both cases. When in emission, the peak wavelength of the silicate feature tends to be longer than 9.7 μm, possibly indicating effects on grain properties near the AGN. The IR color is shown to correlate with the equivalent width of the aromatic features, indicating that the slope of the quasar mid- to far-IR SED is to first order driven by the fraction of radiation from star formation in the IR bands.
