摘要:

本文研究了当一部分类星体辐射经过一个不参与形成吸收线系统的云时,类星体宽线区被含H $_2$的云部分覆盖的效应。这导致可观察到的吸收线轮廓的修改,从而导致从标准吸收线分析得出的物理参数的偏差。在H $_2$ {吸收}系统的应用中,在Q~1232+082光谱中H $_2$吸收系统的分析中揭示了该效应(Ivanchik等人,2010年; Balashev等人,2011年)。我们估计在类星体光谱中检测到这种效应的概率。为此,我们从斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)数据发布9(DR 9)目录推导出高z类星体的BLR大小分布,并假设不同的云大小分布。我们得出结论,概率的下限约为$11\%$。最新的研究表明,约五分之一的观测到的H $_2$吸收系统可以部分覆盖。考虑到这种影响,可以对光谱分析得到的星际云的物理参数进行显著的修正。

英文摘要:

We consider the effect of a partial coverage of quasar broad-line regions (QSO BLRs) by intervening H$_2$-bearing clouds when a part of quasar (QSO) radiation passes by a cloud not taking part in formation of an absorption-line system in the QSO spectrum. That leads to modification of observable absorption line profiles and consequently to a bias in physical parameters derived from standard absorption line analysis. In application to the H$_2$ {absorption} systems the effect has been revealed in the analysis of H$_2$ absorption system in the spectrum of Q~1232+082 (Ivanchik et al. 2010, Balashev et al. 2011). We estimate a probability of the effect to be detected in QSO spectra. To do this we derive distribution of BLR sizes of high-z QSOs from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 9 (DR9) catalogue and assume different distributions of cloud sizes. We conclude that the low limit of the probability is about $11\%$. The latest researches shows that about a fifth of observed H$_2$ absorption systems can be partially covered. Accounting of the effect may allow to revise significantly physical parameters of interstellar clouds obtained by the spectral analysis.
