摘要:

在附近的射电星系NGC~1052的环核区域。我们利用韩国VLBI网的$λ$ 3 mm VLBI观测,在1350- 1850 km~s $^{-1}$的速度范围内,空间分辨了HCO对双面核喷流的$^{+}$吸收,并揭示了HCO的$^{+}$吸收集中在后退喷流和核成分上。HCO $^{+}$吸收气体的分布强有力地支持了围绕超大质量黑洞的环核环面。从分子氢的柱密度和体积密度估算,环面上分子气体区的大小至少为1~pc。HCO $^{+}$的宽光谱分布可能是具有不同速度的多个气体团的混合物。NGC~1052的HCO $^{+}$吸收可以追踪到活动星系核附近复杂的运动学过程,如流入、流出、湍流等。

英文摘要:

In the circumnuclear region of the nearby radio galaxy NGC~1052. Our $λ$3mm VLBI observations with the Korean VLBI Network have spatially resolved the broad HCO$^{+}$ absorption at a velocity range of 1350--1850 km~s$^{-1}$ against a double-sided nuclear jet, and have revealed that the HCO$^{+}$ absorption is concentrated on the receding jet and the nuclear components. The distribution of the HCO$^{+}$ absorbing gas strongly supports the circumnuclear torus surrounding the supermassive black hole. From the estimations of the column density and the volume density of molecular hydrogen, the size of the molecular gas region in the torus is at least 1~pc. The broad spectral profile of HCO$^{+}$ is likely to be a blend of multiple gas clumps with various velocities. The HCO$^{+}$ absorption of NGC~1052 could trace complex kinematics in the vicinity of the active galactic nucleus, such as inflow, outflow, turbulence, and so on.
