热反馈模在椭圆星系活动星系核反馈中的作用

On the Role of Hot Feedback Mode in Active Galactic Nuclei Feedback in an Elliptical Galaxy

Doosoo Yoon, Feng Yuan, Jeremiah P. Ostriker, Luca Ciotti, Bocheng Zhu

摘要:

根据吸积率的大小,黑洞吸积可分为冷吸积和热吸积两种模式。这两种模式具有明显不同的物理特性,并对应于两种反馈模式。以往的反馈研究要么只关注一种模式,要么没有充分考虑吸积物理。在这里,通过流体动力学数值模拟的活动星系核反馈在椭圆星系,我们表明,包括这两个是很重要的,并给出了不同的结果,包括只是一个或其他。我们特别关注风和辐射(但忽略喷流)反馈的热模式,以探讨这种特殊的反馈模式是否可以发挥任何重要的反馈作用。为此,我们运行了两个测试模型。在一个模型中,无论吸积率值如何,我们总是采用冷模式;在另一个模型中,一旦活动星系核进入热模式,我们就关闭它。我们计算了活动星系核的光变曲线、黑洞生长、恒星形成和活动星系核的能量占空比,并将计算结果与正确包含这两种模式的模型进行了比较。发现了重要的差异。例如,如果我们只采用冷模式,新形成的恒星的总质量将减少两个数量级,并且在高吸积状态(即,$L_{\rm BH} > 2\% L_{\rm Edd}$)太小,与观察结果不一致。我们还研究了风和辐射在热模态中各自的作用。

英文摘要:

Depending on the value of the accretion rate, black hole accretion is divided into cold and hot modes. The two modes have distinctly different physics and correspond to two feedback modes. Most previous feedback works either focus only on one mode, or the accretion physics is not always properly adopted. Here, by performing hydrodynamical numerical simulations of AGN feedback in an elliptical galaxy, we show that including both is important, and gives different results from including just one or the other. We specifically focus on the wind and radiation (but neglecting the jet) feedback in the hot mode, to explore whether this particular mode of feedback can play any important feedback role. For this aim, we have run two test models. In one model, we always adopt the cold mode no matter what value the accretion rate is; in another model, we turn off the AGN once it enters into the hot mode. We have calculated the AGN light curves, black hole growth, star formation, and AGN energy duty-cycle; and compared the results with the model in which the two modes are correctly included. Important differences are found. For example, if we were to adopt only the cold mode, the total mass of newly formed stars would become two orders of magnitude smaller, and the fraction of energy ejected within the high accretion regime (i.e., $L_{\rm BH} > 2\% L_{\rm Edd}$) would be too small to be consistent with observations. We have also investigated the respective roles of wind and radiation in the hot mode.
