摘要:

本文对活动星系核的射电和X射线发射特性进行了比较分析。该研究是在907个X射线活动星系核和100个射电活动星系核上进行的,这些活动星系核是在CDFS和UDS领域选出的,并利用了VANDELS合作提供的新的和辅助的数据。我们的研究结果表明,宿主星系的质量是一个基本量,它决定了活动星系核在不同波长的活动水平。事实上,大的恒星质量被发现与活动星系核的射电辐射有关,因为几乎所有的射电活动星系核都位于M*>10^{10} Msun的星系中。大的恒星质量似乎也有利于活动星系核在X射线中的活动,即使X射线活动星系核呈现出更分散的质量分布,并且在M*<10^{9} Msun时具有不可忽略的尾部。在射电和X射线同时发射的过程中,恒星质量本身也起着重要的作用:在M*<10^{11} Msun的星系中,活动星系核在两个波长上的活动比例从所有X射线活动星系核的1%增加到13%。在射电选择活动星系核的情况下,这样的百分比从大约15%移动到大约45%(但在最深的区域高达80%)。无论是宇宙时代,也没有射电光度,X射线光度,爱丁顿比或恒星形成率的主机被发现连接到一个增强的概率联合无线电+X射线发射的活动星系核的起源。此外,在两个频率同时活动的活动星系核中,X射线和射电光度之间只有松散的关系。

英文摘要:

We present a comparative analysis of the properties of AGN emitting at radio and X-ray wavelengths. The study is performed on 907 X-ray AGN and 100 radio AGN selected on the CDFS and UDS fields and makes use of new and ancillary data available to the VANDELS collaboration. Our results indicate that the mass of the host galaxy is a fundamental quantity which determines the level of AGN activity at the various wavelengths. Indeed large stellar masses are found to be connected with AGN radio emission, as virtually all radio-active AGN reside within galaxies of M*>10^{10} Msun. Large stellar masses also seem to favour AGN activity in the X-ray, even though X-ray AGN present a mass distribution which is more spread out and with a non-negligible tail at M*<10^{9} Msun. Stellar mass alone is also observed to play a fundamental role in simultaneous radio and X-ray emission: the percentage of AGN active at both wavelengths increases from around 1% of all X-ray AGN residing within hosts of M*<10^{11} Msun to about 13% in more massive galaxies. In the case of radio-selected AGN, such a percentage moves from about 15% to about 45% (but up to 80% in the deepest fields). Neither cosmic epoch, nor radio luminosity, X-ray luminosity, Eddington ratio or star-formation rate of the hosts are found to be connected to an enhanced probability for joint radio+X-ray emission of AGN origin. Furthermore, only a loose relation is observed between X-ray and radio luminosity in those AGN which are simultaneously active at both frequencies.
