Z $\sim$ 6类星体占空比的限制

Constraints On Duty Cycles Of Quasars At Z $\sim$ 6

Huanqing Chen, Nickolay Y. Gnedin

摘要:

我们研究了质量的类星体托管暗物质晕在z $\sim$ 6,并进一步约束的分数托管一个活跃的类星体$f_{on}$和类星体的光束角$i_{\rm max}$使用的CII线在文献中的观察。我们假设:(1)更大质量的晕拥有更亮的类星体,(2)一部分晕拥有具有一定光束角的活跃类星体,(3)星系中的冷气体具有旋转速度$V_{\rm circ}=αV_{\rm max}$,(4)类星体在天空中随机指向。我们发现,对于特定的$α\gtrsim 1$的选择,最有可能的解决方案有$f_{\rm on} < 0.01$,对应于类星体活动的小占空比。然而,如果我们对$α$进行边缘化,对于某些优先选择,则会出现使用$f_{\rm on}=1$的第二种解决方案。总的来说,我们的约束对$α$高度敏感,因此不确定。如果我们更好地理解这些星系中冷气体的动力学,就可以对$f_{\rm on}$进行更强的约束。

英文摘要:

We study the mass of quasar-hosting dark matter halos at z $\sim$ 6 and further constrain the fraction of dark matter halos hosting an active quasar $f_{on}$ and the quasar beaming angle $i_{\rm max}$ using observations of CII lines in the literature. We make assumptions that (1) more massive halos host brighter quasars, (2) a fraction of the halos host active quasars with a certain beaming angle, (3) cold gas in galaxies has rotational velocity $V_{\rm circ}=αV_{\rm max}$, and that (4) quasars point randomly on the sky. We find that for a choice of specific $α\gtrsim 1$, the most likely solution has $f_{\rm on} < 0.01$, corresponding to a small duty cycle of quasar activity. However, if we marginalize over $α$, for some choices of a prior a second solution with $f_{\rm on}=1$ appears. Overall, our the constraints are highly sensitive to $α$ and hence inconclusive. Stronger constraints on $f_{\rm on}$ can be made if we better understand the dynamics of cold gas in these galaxies.
