叶瓣主导类星体中Mg II谱线的性质

Mg II line properties in lobe-dominated quasars

Conor Wildy, Bozena Czerny, Agnieszka Kuźmicz

摘要:

本文研究了叶瓣主导类星体中Mg ii λ2798发射线性质之间的关系,以及这些性质与倾角和Fe ii强度之间的关系。我们发现镁二线宽度和倾角之间没有相关性,不像以前的研究一般类星体人口。这表明在这些对象中的Mg II发射区域不是薄盘几何形状,但是线的平均等效宽度否定了球形替代。不能排除Mg ii等效宽度和倾角之间的正相关性,这意味着没有强有力的证据表明Mg ii发射是各向异性的。由于薄盘发射是高度定向的,这两个发现的几何含义是相容的。线宽度与倾角的相关性的缺乏也可能表明,镁ii是有用的估计叶主导类星体样本中的黑洞质量,因为它是无偏的方向。在我们的样本中,有些类星体的视角几乎都是从边上看过去的,因此不可能有一个与吸积盘共面的光滑环形遮蔽物。替代方案可能是一个扭曲的尘埃盘或一个clusional模糊。这可能是由于样本选择偏向于高倾角天体,而不是叶瓣主导类星体和典型类星体之间的内在差异。五个物体有可见的[O III]允许等效宽度计算,揭示它高于典型的类星体。由于这些对象是高倾角,这一发现支持[O三]等效宽度和倾角之间的正相关关系在以前的研究中发现。

英文摘要:

We investigate the relationships between Mg ii λ2798 emission line properties, as well as between these properties and inclination angle and Fe ii strength, in a lobe-dominated quasar sample. We find no correlation between Mg ii line width and inclination, unlike previous studies of the general quasar population. This suggests that the Mg ii emission region in these objects is not of a thin disk geometry, however the average equivalent width of the line negates a spherical alternative. A positive correlation between Mg ii equivalent width and inclination cannot be ruled out, meaning there is no strong evidence that Mg ii emission is anisotropic. Since thin disk emission would be highly directional, the geometric implications of these two findings are compatible. The lack of line width correlation with inclination may also indicate that Mg ii is useful for estimating black hole masses in lobe-dominated quasar samples, since it is unbiased by orientation. Some quasars in our sample have almost edge-on viewing angles and therefore cannot have a smooth toroidal obscurer co-planar with the accretion disk. Alternatives may be a distorted dusty disk or a clumpy obscurer. This could result from the sample selection bias towards high inclination objects, rather than intrinsic differences between lobe-dominated and typical quasars. Five objects have visible [O iii] allowing equivalent width calculation, revealing it to be higher than in typical quasars. Since these objects are of high inclination, this finding supports the positive correlation between [O iii] equivalent width and inclination found in a previous study.
