NGC 1566:从光学和近红外积分场单元光谱学分析核区域

NGC 1566: analysis of the nuclear region from optical and near-infrared Integral Field Unit spectroscopy

Patrícia da Silva, J. E. Steiner, R. B. Menezes

摘要:

我们分析了NGC 1566的中心,该中心拥有一个经过充分研究的活动星系核(AGN),以其可变性而闻名。借助主成分分析层析成像、发射线光谱分析、通道图、惩罚像素拟合和光谱合成等技术应用于光学和近红外数据立方体,除了分析哈勃太空望远镜图像外,我们发现:(1)活动星系核有一个Seyfert 1辐射,具有非常强的无特征连续谱,我们将其描述为幂律谱指数为1.7。然而,这种辐射可能不仅来自活动星系核[因为活动星系核的点扩散函数(PSF)比宽线区(BLR)的PSF更宽],而且来自年轻的热恒星,这些恒星可能解释了观测到的σ下降。(2)BLR谱线的半峰全宽与红移有一定的相关性。在假设引力红移的简单模型下,我们将它描述为一个发射半径变化、倾角较小的发射环。(3)在活动星系核附近存在一个H Ⅱ区,它由许多亚结构组成,形成一个速度梯度明显的螺旋。(4)我们还探测到一个可能来自活动星系核的外流,它似乎污染了H Ⅱ区的辐射。(5)我们确定了一个H2旋转盘的方向大致垂直于这个流出。这表明,旋转盘是一个内部的圆环/盘结构,准直流出的排放,根据统一模型的延伸。

英文摘要:

We analysed the centre of NGC 1566, which hosts a well-studied active galactic nucleus (AGN), known for its variability. With the aid of techniques such as Principal Component Analysis Tomography, analysis of the emission-line spectra, channel maps, Penalized Pixel Fitting and spectral synthesis applied to the optical and near-infrared data cubes, besides the analysis of Hubble Space Telescope images, we found that: (1) the AGN has a Seyfert 1 emission, with a very strong featureless continuum that we described as a power law with spectral index of 1.7. However, this emission may come not only from the AGN [as its point spread function (PSF) is broader than the PSF of the broad-line region (BLR)], but from hot and young stars, the same ones that probably account for the observed sigma-drop. (2) There is a correlation between redshift and the full width at half-maximum of the BLR emission lines. With a simple model assuming gravitational redshift, we described it as an emitting ring with varying emitting radii and small inclination angles. (3) There is an H II region close to the AGN, which is composed of many substructures forming an apparent spiral with a velocity gradient. (4) We also detected a probable outflow coming from the AGN and it seems to contaminate the H II region emission. (5) We identified an H2 rotating disc with orientation approximately perpendicular to this outflow. This suggests that the rotating disc is an extension of an inner torus/disc structure, which collimates the outflow emission, according to the Unified Model.
