射电喷流在宇宙时间中的演化

The evolution of radio jets across cosmic time

Andrew J. Griffin, Cedric G. Lacey, Violeta Gonzalez-Perez, Claudia del P. Lagos

摘要:

本文对活动星系核射电辐射的演化进行了预测。我们使用的模型,遵循超大质量黑洞(SMBH)的质量和自旋的演变,在最新版本的GALFORM半解析模型的星系形成。我们用Blandford-Znajek型模型计算了黑洞吸积盘产生的相对论喷流的功率,用标度模型计算了射电光度。首先,我们提出了预测的喷气功率分布的演变,发现这是占主导地位的对象燃料的热晕吸积和ADAF吸积状态的喷气功率以上$10^{32}\mathrm{W}$在$z=0$,与贡献的对象燃料的星爆和薄盘吸积状态更重要的是较低的喷气功率在$z=0$和所有的喷气功率在高红移($z\geq3$)。然后,我们提出了从模型的射流功率密度的演变。该模型是一致的,目前的观测估计喷流功率从射电光度,一旦我们允许在这些观测估计的显着不确定性。接下来,我们校准无线电发射模型的观测估计范围内的$z=0$无线电光度函数。我们比较了模型射电光度函数的演变观测估计$0<z<6$,发现预测的演变是类似的观察。最后,我们尝试重新校准模型以重现核心射电辐射的光度函数,发现模型与观测结果近似一致。

英文摘要:

We present predictions for the evolution of radio emission from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). We use a model that follows the evolution of Supermassive Black Hole (SMBH) masses and spins, within the latest version of the GALFORM semi-analytic model of galaxy formation. We use a Blandford-Znajek type model to calculate the power of the relativistic jets produced by black hole accretion discs, and a scaling model to calculate radio luminosities. First, we present the predicted evolution of the jet power distribution, finding that this is dominated by objects fuelled by hot halo accretion and an ADAF accretion state for jet powers above $10^{32}\mathrm{W}$ at $z=0$, with the contribution from objects fuelled by starbursts and in a thin disc accretion state being more important for lower jet powers at $z=0$ and at all jet powers at high redshifts ($z\geq3$). We then present the evolution of the jet power density from the model. The model is consistent with current observational estimates of jet powers from radio luminosities, once we allow for the significant uncertainties in these observational estimates. Next, we calibrate the model for radio emission to a range of observational estimates of the $z=0$ radio luminosity function. We compare the evolution of the model radio luminosity function to observational estimates for $0<z<6$, finding that the predicted evolution is similar to that observed. Finally, we explore recalibrating the model to reproduce luminosity functions of core radio emission, finding that the model is in approximate agreement with the observations.
