Maintenance-mode feedback from low-accretion rate AGN, manifesting itself observationally through radio-loudness, is invoked in all cosmological galaxy formation models as a mechanism that prevents excessive star-formation in massive galaxies (M$_*$ $\gtrsim$ 3$\times$10$^{10}$ M$_{\odot}$). We demonstrate that at a fixed mass the incidence of radio-loud AGN (L $>$ 10$^{23}$ WHz$^{- 1}$) identified in the FIRST and NVSS radio surveys among a large sample of quiescent (non-star forming) galaxies selected from the SDSS is much higher in geometrically round galaxies than in geometrically flat, disk-like galaxies. As found previously, the RL AGN fraction increases steeply with stellar velocity dispersion $σ_*$ and stellar mass, but even at a fixed velocity dispersion of 200-250 kms$^{-1}$ this fraction increases from 0.3% for flat galaxies (projected axis ratio of q $<$ 0.4) to 5% for round galaxies (q $>$ 0.8). We rule out that this strong trend is due to projection effects in the measured velocity dispersion. The large fraction of radio-loud AGN in massive, round galaxies is consistent with the hypothesis that such AGN deposit energy into their hot gaseous halos, preventing cooling and star-formation. However, the absence of such AGN in disk-like quiescent galaxies -- most of which are not satellites in massive clusters, raises important questions: is maintenance-mode feedback a generally valid explanation for quiescence; and, if so, how does that feedback avoid manifesting at least occasionally as a radio-loud galaxy?
Link between radio-loud AGNs and host-galaxy shape
静止星系的形态与其中心超大质量黑洞的活动有关。在这项工作中,我们使用LOFAR两个$-$米制巡天(LoTSS DR 1)和斯隆数字巡天数据发布7(SDSS DR 7)的第一个数据发布的数据,选择超过15 000个静止星系在$z<0.3$调查射电大声活动星系核(RLAGN)和它们的宿主星系的形态之间的连接。利用LoTSS的深度,我们发现,在固定的恒星质量,速度色散,或表面质量密度与$L_{\rm 150\,MHz}>10^{21}\rm\,W\,Hz^{-1}$的RLAGN的分数不依赖于星系投影轴比($q$)。然而,高功率($L_{\rm 150\,MHz}>10^{23}\rm\,W\,Hz^{-1}$)RLAGN更有可能在大质量的圆形星系中发现,而低功率和中功率($L_{\rm 150\,MHz}\leq10^{23}\rm\,W\,Hz^{-1}$)RLAGN具有与非RLAGN星系相似的$q$分布。我们认为,我们的研究结果支持的图片,高功率RLAGNs更容易被触发的星系合并丰富的历史,而低功率RLAGNs可以被触发的星系增长主要通过长期的过程。我们的工作也支持这样的想法,即低光度RLAGN可能是足够的低质量的静止星系与盘状形态,这是基于一个简单的外推从观察到的能量平衡之间的冷却和RLAGN诱导腔大规模集群的维持模式反馈。我们发现,在控制了两个样本的射电光度和恒星质量后,可能在星…
