摘要:

一般认为气体吸积到超大质量黑洞(SMBH)上是其发光的主要过程,这种发光发生在光学、紫外和X射线区域,而在无线电波中较少发生。只有百分之几的类星体是射电强的,这一观测事实仍然是一个悬而未决的问题,涉及到对活动星系核(AGN)人口的理解。在这里,我们提出了一个快速过渡的无线电安静的无线电大声模式在类星体013815+00(z=0.94),这与它的紫外光连续谱和低电离Mg II宽线的变化相一致的检测。我们将其解释为一个质量约为10^9太阳质量的中心黑洞的吸积增强。结果,一个新的射电大活动星系核诞生了。它的光谱和形态特征表明,它在活动开始时经历了短的千兆赫兹峰值光谱阶段,现在已将其通量密度稳定在几毫焦耳年的水平。013815+00的射电形态非常紧凑,我们预测,在这种短期喷流活动的情况下,它的发展将非常缓慢。观测到的吸积盘的光度变化比013815+00中新射电相位的寿命短。

英文摘要:

It is believed that the gas accretion onto the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) is the main process of powering its luminous emission, which occurs in optical, UV and X-ray regimes and less frequently in radio waves. The observational fact that only a few percent of quasars are radio-loud is still an unresolved issue concerning the understanding of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) population. Here we present a detection of a rapid transition from the radio-quiet to the radio-loud mode in quasar 013815+00 (z=0.94) which coincides with changes of its UV-optical continuum and the low ionization MgII broadline. We interpret this as an enhancement of accretion onto a central black hole of mass about 10^9 solar masses. As a consequence a new radio-loud AGN was born. Its spectral and morphological properties indicate that it went through the short gigahertz-peaked spectrum (GPS) phase at the beginning of its activity and has now stabilized its flux density at the level of a few mJy. The radio morphology of 013815+00 is very compact and we predict that with such short-term jet activity its development will be very slow. The observed luminosity changes of the accretion disk are shorter than the lifetime of the new radio phase in 013815+00.
