摘要:

钱德拉最近对附近星系团阿贝尔585的观测发现了一个与高红移背景类星体B3 0727+409有关的扩展X射线喷流,这是一个红移z=2.5的发光射电源。这是迄今为止已知的少数几个高红移X射线喷流之一。它有一个大约12”的明显延伸,对应于大约100 kpc的投影长度,可能有一个热点位于距离类星体35”的地方。档案高分辨率VLA地图令人惊讶地显示,除了距离类星体约1.4”的一个结外,没有延伸的喷流发射。高X射线,无线电光度比为这个来源出现符合$\propto (1+z)^{4}$放大预期从逆康普顿辐射模型。这一偶然的发现可能标志着整个人口的类似系统的存在,明亮的X射线和微弱的射电喷流在高红移,选择的偏见,必须考虑到任何结论时,红移演变的喷流属性,甚至宇宙学演化的超大质量黑洞和活动星系核一般。

英文摘要:

A recent Chandra observation of the nearby galaxy cluster Abell 585 has led to the discovery of an extended X-ray jet associated with the high-redshift background quasar B3 0727+409, a luminous radio source at redshift z=2.5. This is one of only few examples of high-redshift X-ray jets known to date. It has a clear extension of about 12", corresponding to a projected length of ~100 kpc, with a possible hot spot located 35" from the quasar. The archival high resolution VLA maps surprisingly reveal no extended jet emission, except for one knot about 1.4" from the quasar. The high X-ray to radio luminosity ratio for this source appears consistent with the $\propto (1+z)^{4}$ amplification expected from the inverse Compton radiative model. This serendipitous discovery may signal the existence of an entire population of similar systems with bright X-ray and faint radio jets at high redshift, a selection bias which must be accounted for when drawing any conclusions about the redshift evolution of jet properties and indeed about the cosmological evolution of supermassive black holes and active galactic nuclei in general.
