摘要:

作为巨脉泽宇宙学计划(MCP)的一部分,我们提出了VLBI地图的核水脉泽朝向五个星系。脉泽起源于次秒差距的环核盘。对于其中三个星系,我们拟合开普勒旋转曲线来估计它们的超大质量黑洞(SMBH)质量,并确定J 0437 +2456的(2.9 $\pm$ 0.3)$\times~10^{6}M_\odot$,ESO 558 $-$ G 009的(1.7 $\pm$ 0.1)$\times~10^{7}M_\odot$,NGC 5495的(1.1 $\pm$ 0.2)$\times~10^{7}M_\odot$。在另外两个星系Mrk 1029和NGC 1320中,几何和动力学更加复杂,无法对黑洞质量进行可靠的估计。包括我们的新结果,我们编制了一份15个VLBI确认的盘脉泽星系的列表,这些星系具有强大的SMBH质量测量。通过该样本,我们确认了Wardle & Yusef-Zadeh(2012)中报道的$R_{out} \propto 0.3 M_{SMBH}$的经验关系。我们还发现了脉泽盘外半径与WISE光度之间的初步相关性。我们没有发现脉泽盘大小与X射线2-10 keV光度或[O III]光度的相关性。

英文摘要:

As part of the Megamaser Cosmology Project (MCP), we present VLBI maps of nuclear water masers toward five galaxies. The masers originate in sub-parsec circumnuclear disks. For three of the galaxies, we fit Keplerian rotation curves to estimate their supermassive black hole (SMBH) masses, and determine (2.9 $\pm$ 0.3) $\times~10^{6}M_\odot$ for J0437+2456, (1.7 $\pm$ 0.1) $\times~10^{7}M_\odot$ for ESO 558$-$G009, and (1.1 $\pm$ 0.2) $\times~10^{7}M_\odot$ for NGC 5495. In the other two galaxies, Mrk 1029 and NGC 1320, the geometry and dynamics are more complicated and preclude robust black hole mass estimates. Including our new results, we compiled a list of 15 VLBI-confirmed disk maser galaxies with robust SMBH mass measurements. With this sample, we confirm the empirical relation of $R_{out} \propto 0.3 M_{SMBH}$ reported in Wardle & Yusef-Zadeh (2012). We also find a tentative correlation between maser disk outer radii and WISE luminosity. We find no correlations of maser disk size with X-ray 2-10 keV luminosity or [O III] luminosity.
