活动星系核吸积盘冕的各向异性辐射

Anisotropic radiation from accretion disc-coronae in active galactic nuclei

摘要:

在活动星系核的统一方案中,Seyfert 1 s和Seyfert 2 s本质上是相同的,只是从不同的角度来看。然而,在先前的工作中,在给定的X射线连续发光度下,塞弗特1 s的Fe Kα发射线发光度平均约为塞弗特2s的两倍(Ricci et al. 2014)。我们建立了一个吸积盘-日冕模型,其中一部分耗散在吸积盘中的能量被提取出来加热吸积盘上方的日冕。包含康普顿散射过程的辐射传输方程是一个积分-微分方程,对平行平面几何的日冕进行数值求解。我们发现,当视角θ较小时(近正面),日冕X射线辐射的比强度随视角θ的变化很小,而当视角θ较大时(θ> 40 °),日冕X射线辐射的比强度对视角θ的变化很敏感。当θ< 40度时,来自冷盘的辐射,主要在红外/光学/紫外波段,几乎与cosθ成正比,而当θ> 40度时,由于在这种情况下日冕中的强吸收,它比cosθ下降得更快。对于Seyfert星系,Fe-K α线可能是由X射线连续辐射照射的盘状星系发出的。在Seyfert 1 s和Seyfert 2s的平均倾角为65度的条件下,观测到的Seyfert 1 s和Seyfert 2s的等效宽度(EW)之差可以通过我们的模式计算重现。

英文摘要:

In the unification scheme of active galactic nuclei (AGN), Seyfert 1s and Seyfert 2s are intrinsically same, but they are viewed at different angles. However, the Fe Kαemission line luminosity of Seyfert 1s was found in average to be about twice of that of Seyfert 2s at given X-ray continuum luminosity in the previous work (Ricci et al. 2014). We construct an accretion disc-corona model, in which a fraction of energy dissipated in the disc is extracted to heat the corona above the disc. The radiation transfer equation containing Compton scattering processes is an integro-differential equation, which is solved numerically for the corona with a parallel plane geometry. We find that the specific intensity of X-ray radiation from the corona changes little with the viewing angle θwhen θis small (nearly face-on), and it is sensitive to θif the viewing angle is large (θ> 40 degrees). The radiation from the cold disc, mostly in infrared/optical/UV bands, is almost proportional to cosθwhen θ< 40 degrees, while it decreases more rapidly than cosθwhen θ> 40 degrees because of strong absorption in the corona in this case. For seyfert galaxies, the Fe Kαline may probably be emitted from the disc irradiated by the X-ray continuum emission. The observed equivalent width (EW) difference between Seyfert 1s and Seyfert 2s can be reproduced by our model calculations, provided Seyfert 1s are observed in nearly face-on direction and the average inclination angle of Seyfert 2s ~65 dgrees.
