类星体的近中红外光谱

The near-to-mid infrared spectrum of quasars

Antonio Hernán-Caballero, Evanthia Hatziminaoglou, Almudena Alonso-Herrero, Silvia Mateos

摘要:

我们用AKARI和Spitzer的restframe ~2-11 \um光谱仪分析了85个(log(nuLnu(3 \um)/erg s-1)>45.5)发光类星体的样品。它们的高光度允许直接测定不受宿主星系辐射影响的近红外类星体光谱。一个半经验模型,包括一个单一的吸积盘和两个黑体的尘埃排放的模板成功地再现了0.1-10 \um光谱能量分布(SED)。超过最佳拟合模型的1-2 \um处的过量发射表明,除了~1200 K黑体和圆盘之外,还需要更热的尘埃来再现整个近红外光谱。在影响磁盘和磁盘和尘埃成分的相对强度的灭绝的变化占个别SED的多样性。具有更高尘埃-星盘光度比的类星体,其红外线的连续谱会稍微偏红,硅酸盐的辐射也不那么突出。我们发现,平均红外类星体光谱的形状没有光度依赖性。我们生成了一个新的类星体模板,涵盖了restframe范围0.1-11 \um,并单独的磁盘和尘埃组件的模板。与其他红外类星体合成物的比较表明,以前的合成物在2-4 \um范围内的可靠性较低。我们的模板是第一个提供4 \um凸起两侧红外发射详细视图的模板。

英文摘要:

We analyse a sample of 85 luminous (log(nuLnu(3\um)/erg s-1)>45.5) quasars with restframe ~2-11 \um spectroscopy from AKARI and Spitzer. Their high luminosity allows a direct determination of the near-infrared quasar spectrum free from host galaxy emission. A semi-empirical model consisting of a single template for the accretion disk and two blackbodies for the dust emission successfully reproduces the 0.1-10 \um spectral energy distributions (SEDs). Excess emission at 1-2 \um over the best-fitting model suggests that hotter dust is necessary in addition to the ~1200 K blackbody and the disk to reproduce the entire near-infrared spectrum. Variation in the extinction affecting the disk and in the relative strength of the disk and dust components accounts for the diversity of individual SEDs. Quasars with higher dust-to-disk luminosity ratios show slightly redder infrared continua and less prominent silicate emission. We find no luminosity dependence in the shape of the average infrared quasar spectrum. We generate a new quasar template that covers the restframe range 0.1-11 \um, and separate templates for the disk and dust components. Comparison with other infrared quasar composites suggests that previous ones are less reliable in the 2-4 \um range. Our template is the first one to provide a detailed view of the infrared emission on both sides of the 4 \um bump.
