摘要:

我们研究了XMM-牛顿广角巡天中的六个X射线选择宽吸收线类星体。所有六个对象被归类为BALQSO使用经典的balnicity指数,它们一起形成的最大的样本的X射线选择BALQSO。我们在所有六个物体的X射线光谱中发现了吸收的证据。电离吸收模型适用于X射线光谱形状,这将是典型的非BAL类星体(能量指数α =0.98的幂律)提供了可接受的适合所有六个对象的X射线光谱。X射线选定的BALQSO的光学到X射线光谱指数α_OX的平均值为1.69 ± 0.05,这与紫外光度相似的X射线选定和光学选定的非BAL QSO的平均值相似。相比之下,光学选择的BALQSO通常具有大得多的α_OX,因此被表征为X射线弱。结果表明,X射线选择产生内在的X射线明亮的BALQSO,但它们的X射线光谱吸收的程度类似于在光学选择BALQSO样品中看到的; X射线吸收似乎是无处不在的BALQSO,但X射线弱点不是。我们认为,BALQSO坐在一个频谱的一端的X射线吸收性质的QSO有关的紫外线吸收的程度在C IV 1550。

英文摘要:

We study a sample of six X-ray selected broad absorption line (BAL) quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) from the XMM-Newton Wide Angle Survey. All six objects are classified as BALQSOs using the classic balnicity index, and together they form the largest sample of X-ray selected BALQSOs. We find evidence for absorption in the X-ray spectra of all six objects. An ionized absorption model applied to an X-ray spectral shape that would be typical for non-BAL QSOs (a power law with energy index alpha=0.98) provides acceptable fits to the X-ray spectra of all six objects. The optical to X-ray spectral indices, alpha_OX, of the X-ray selected BALQSOs, have a mean value of 1.69 +- 0.05, which is similar to that found for X-ray selected and optically selected non-BAL QSOs of similar ultraviolet luminosity. In contrast, optically-selected BALQSOs typically have much larger alpha_OX and so are characterised as being X-ray weak. The results imply that X-ray selection yields intrinsically X-ray bright BALQSOs, but their X-ray spectra are absorbed by a similar degree to that seen in optically-selected BALQSO samples; X-ray absorption appears to be ubiquitous in BALQSOs, but X-ray weakness is not. We argue that BALQSOs sit at one end of a spectrum of X-ray absorption properties in QSOs related to the degree of ultraviolet absorption in C IV 1550.
