C IV窄吸收线和类星体连续谱的关联变化

The correlated variations of C IV narrow absorption lines and quasar continuum

Zhi-Fu Chen, Ting-Ting Pang, Bing He, Yong Huang

摘要:

我们从斯隆数字巡天中收集了207个变星,所有变星都至少有3个观测值,对C IV窄吸收双峰进行了分析,得到了328个C IV窄吸收线系统。我们发现,在328个CIV窄吸收线系统中,有19个被$\midΔW_r^{\lambda1548}\mid\ge3σ_{ΔW_r^{\lambda1548}}$改变,时间尺度从15.9天到1477天。在19个明显变化的C IV系统中,发现(1)14个系统具有相对速度$\upsilon_r>0.01c$,4个系统具有相对速度$\upsilon_r>0.1c$,其中$c$为光速,13个系统伴有其他变化的C IV系统,9个系统在多次观测中连续变化,其中9个系统的相对速度为光速。(4)1个$\upsilon_{\rm r}=16~862$ km/s系统在静止帧时被$ΔW_r^{\lambda1548}=2.7σ_{ΔW_r^{\lambda1548}}$增强0.67天。吸收谱线的变化与电离连续谱的变化呈负相关。我们还发现,大的变化的C IV窄吸收线是很难形成在一个短的时间尺度。

英文摘要:

We assemble 207 variable quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, all with at least 3 observations, to analyze C IV narrow absorption doublets, and obtain 328 C IV narrow absorption line systems. We find that 19 out of 328 C IV narrow absorption line systems were changed by $\midΔW_r^{\lambda1548}\mid\ge3σ_{ΔW_r^{\lambda1548}}$ on timescales from 15.9 to 1477 days at rest-frame. Among the 19 obviously variable C IV systems, we find that (1) 14 systems have relative velocities $\upsilon_r>0.01c$ and 4 systems have $\upsilon_r>0.1c$, where $c$ is the speed of light; (2) 13 systems are accompanied by other variable C IV systems; (3) 9 systems were changed continuously during multiple observations; and (4) 1 system with $\upsilon_{\rm r}=16~862$ km/s was enhanced by $ΔW_r^{\lambda1548}=2.7σ_{ΔW_r^{\lambda1548}}$ in 0.67 day at rest-frame. The variations of absorption lines are inversely correlated with the changes in the ionizing continuum. We also find that large variations of C IV narrow absorption lines are difficult to form on a short timescale.
