AGN分数取决于红移还是亮度?用18波段中红外SED拟合AKARI NEP宽视场无消光试验

摘要:

揭示活动星系核在星系中所占的比例是理解宇宙黑洞吸积历史的核心。然而,光学和软X射线调查错过了最高度模糊的活动星系核。相反,红外(IR)对吸收更鲁棒。然而,以前的红外测光调查只有4或5个中红外滤光片。我们的AKARI北极(NEP)宽场样本有18个中红外滤光片(9个来自AKARI,4个来自WISE,5个来自Spitzer),这是第一次,允许对统计数量的源(89178个超过5.4 deg $^2$)进行复杂的中红外SED拟合诊断。利用自相关拟合技术,我们在无扰动的情况下研究了活动星系核分数随红移和红外(8-1000 $μ$ m)光度的变化。我们发现活动星系核部分(F $_{\rm AGN}$)没有表现出强红移演化的迹象。相反,F $_{\rm AGN}$随着所有红移仓($0<z<2$)中IR亮度的增加而增加。

英文摘要:

Revealing what fraction of galaxies harbor AGN is central in understanding black hole accretion history of the Universe. However, optical and soft X-ray surveys miss the most highly obscured AGNs. Infrared (IR), instead, is more robust against absorption. Previous IR photometric surveys, however, only had 4 or 5 filters in mid-IR. Our AKARI North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) wide field sample has 18 filters in mid-IR (9 from AKARI, 4 from WISE, and 5 from Spitzer), for the first time, allowing a sophisticated mid-IR SED fitting diagnosis for a statistical number of sources (89178 over 5.4 deg$^2$). By using a SED fitting technique, we investigate the evolution of AGN fraction as a function of redshift and IR (8-1000 $μ$m) luminosity in an extinction-free way. We found that the AGN fraction (F$_{\rm AGN}$) shows no sign of strong redshift evolution. Instead, F$_{\rm AGN}$ increases with increasing IR luminosity in all redshifts bins ($0<z<2$).
