摘要:

我们调查之间的差异氧丰度估计窄线区域(NLR)的活动星系核(AGN)型Seyfert 2通过使用电子温度的直接估计(Te-方法)和那些通过使用光电离模型。鉴于此,我们用Cloudy程序建立了详细的光电离模型,重现了Seyfert 2核在光学范围(3000 < λ(λ)< 7000)内的观测发射线比。我们发现,推导出的差异主要是由于不适当的使用之间的关系的低(t2)和高(t3)电离气体区的H II区域的AGN化学丰度的研究。利用光电离模型网格,我们推导出一个新的表达式为t2的函数t3有效的塞弗特2核。在基于Te方法的活动星系核O/H丰度估算中使用这个新的表达式产生的O/H丰度比详细的光电离模型得到的O/H丰度略低(约0.2dex)。我们还发现,新的形式主义的Te-方法减少了约0.4德克斯的O/H之间的差异从强发射线校准和来自直接估计的丰度。

英文摘要:

We investigate the discrepancy between oxygen abundance estimations for narrow-line regions (NLRs) of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) type Seyfert 2 derived by using direct estimations of the electron temperature (Te-method) and those derived by using photoionization models. In view of this, observational emission-line ratios in the optical range (3000 < λ(Å) < 7000) of Seyfert 2 nuclei compiled from the literature were reproduced by detailed photoionization models built with the Cloudy code. We find that the derived discrepancies are mainly due to the inappropriate use of the relations between temperatures of the low (t2) and high (t3) ionization gas zones derived for H II regions in AGN chemical abundance studies. Using a photoionization model grid, we derived a new expression for t2 as a function of t3 valid for Seyfert 2 nuclei. The use of this new expression in the AGN estimation of the O/H abundances based on Te-method produces O/H abundances slightly lower (about 0.2 dex) than those derived from detailed photoionization models. We also find that the new formalism for the Te-method reduces by about 0.4 dex the O/H discrepancies between the abundances obtained from strong emission-line calibrations and those derived from direct estimations.
