不同吸积模式和WISE颜色的低光度射电响活动星系核对HI的吸收

HI absorption towards low luminosity radio-loud AGNs of different accretion modes and WISE colours

Yogesh Chandola, D. J. Saikia

摘要:

对活动星系H{ \sc i}吸收的研究使我们能够探测它们的环核区和一般的星际介质,并研究可能触发核活动的气体的供应。本文根据射电星系的发射线光谱,研究了H{ \sc i}吸收对射电星系性质的探测率,根据\textit{WISE}颜色及其射电结构研究了宿主星系的性质,这可能有助于了解不同的吸积模式。我们发现H{ \sc i}吸收检测和非检测源的W2 $-$ W3颜色分布有显著差异。我们报道了在具有\textit{WISE}红外色W2 $-$ W3 $>$ 2的星系中H{ \sc i}吸收的高探测率,这是典型的富气系统,以及紧凑的射电结构。对于具有W 2 $-$ W 3 $>$ 2和致密射电结构的低激发射电星系(LERG),H{ \sc i}的探测率很高(70.6 $\pm$ 20.4 \%)。在HERG中,除了星际介质中的气体外,核或环核区域中的致密射电结构也会引起尘埃环中气体的吸收。然而,具有W2 $-$ W3 $>$ 2的LERG的更高的比恒星形成率(sSFR)表明H{ \sc i}吸收可能主要是由于其宿主中的恒星形成气体。与具有紧凑结构的LERG相比,具有扩展无线电结构的LERG倾向于具有显著更低的W2 $-$ W3值。扩展射电源和具有W2 $-$ W3 $<$ 2的射电源具有低H{ \sc i}探测率。

英文摘要:

H{\sc i} absorption studies of active galaxies enable us to probe their circumnuclear regions and the general interstellar medium, and study the supply of gas which may trigger the nuclear activity. In this paper, we investigate the detection rate of H{\sc i} absorption on the nature of radio galaxies based on their emission-line spectra, nature of the host galaxies based on the \textit{WISE} colours and their radio structure, which may help understand the different accretion modes. We find significant difference in distributions of W2$-$W3 colour for sources with H{\sc i} absorption detections and non-detections. We report a high detection rate of H{\sc i} absorption in the galaxies with \textit{WISE} infrared colours W2$-$W3 $>$ 2, which is typical of gas-rich systems, along with a compact radio structure. The H{\sc i} detection rate for low-excitation radio galaxies (LERGs) with W2$-$W3 $>$ 2 and compact radio structure is high (70.6$\pm$20.4 \%). In HERGs, compact radio structure in the nuclear or circumnuclear region could give rise to absorption by gas in the dusty torus in addition to gas in the interstellar medium. However, higher specific star formation rate (sSFR) for the LERGs with W2$-$W3 $>$ 2 suggests that H{\sc i} absorption may be largely due to star-forming gas in their hosts. LERGs with extended radio structure tend to have significantly lower values of W2$-$W3 compared to those with compact structure. Extended radio sources and those with W2$-$W3 $<$ 2 have low H{\sc i} detection rates.
