摘要:

在X射线域中,具有GHz峰值谱(GPS)和/或致密对称天体(CSO)形态的致密射电星系越来越多地被探测到。它们的无线电和X射线发射受到显着吸收的影响。然而,X射线和无线电吸收器的位置仍然存在争议。我们研究了总($N_{\mathrm{H}}$)和中性($N_{\mathrm{HI}}$)氢的柱密度之间的关系,以统计约束的图片。我们编制了一个GPS/CSO样本,包括文献数据和新的无线电数据,我们获得了与韦斯特博克合成射电望远镜的来源,其X射线发射要么建立或正在调查。在这个样本中,我们比较了X射线和射电氢柱密度,发现$N_{\mathrm{H}}$和$N_{\mathrm{HI}}$显示出显著的正相关性,其中$N_{\mathrm{HI}} \propto N_{\mathrm{H}}^b$,$b=0.47$和$b=0.35$,取决于子样本。$N_{\mathrm{H}}$ - $N_{\mathrm{HI}}$相关性表明,X射线和无线电吸收体是一个连续结构的共空间或不同的组件。的相关性显示了一个大的内在的传播,我们建议起源于波动,周围的平均值,自旋温度和覆盖因子的无线电吸收体,$T_{\rm s}/C_{\rm f}$之间的比率。

英文摘要:

Compact radio galaxies with a GHz-peaked spectrum (GPS) and/or compact-symmetric-object (CSO) morphology (GPS/CSOs) are increasingly detected in the X-ray domain. Their radio and X-ray emissions are affected by significant absorption. However, the locations of the X-ray and radio absorbers are still debated. We investigated the relationship between the column densities of the total ($N_{\mathrm{H}}$) and neutral ($N_{\mathrm{HI}}$) hydrogen to statistically constrain the picture. We compiled a sample of GPS/CSOs including both literature data and new radio data that we acquired with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope for sources whose X-ray emission was either established or under investigation. In this sample, we compared the X-ray and radio hydrogen column densities, and found that $N_{\mathrm{H}}$ and $N_{\mathrm{HI}}$ display a significant positive correlation, with $N_{\mathrm{HI}} \propto N_{\mathrm{H}}^b$, where $b=0.47$ and $b=0.35$, depending on the subsample. The $N_{\mathrm{H}}$ - $N_{\mathrm{HI}}$ correlation suggests that the X-ray and radio absorbers are either co-spatial or different components of a continuous structure. The correlation displays a large intrinsic spread that we suggest to originate from fluctuations, around a mean value, of the ratio between the spin temperature and the covering factor of the radio absorber, $T_{\rm s}/C_{\rm f}$.
