AGN活性在z~1.6处的BCG的建立中的作用

The role of AGN activity in the building up of the BCG at z~1.6

Angela Bongiorno, Andrea Travascio

摘要:

XDCPJ 0044.0 -2033是z~1.6的最大质量星系团之一,在过去的几年中,已经收集了大量的多波长光度和光谱数据。我已经报道了星系团非常中心区域(~ 70 kpc x 70 kpc)的星系成员的性质,通过深HST测光,SINFONI和KMOS IFU光谱,以及Chandra X射线,ALMA和JVLA射电数据。在星系团的核心,我们已经确定了两组星系(复合体A和复合体B),其中七个被证实是星系团成员,并有正在合并的迹象。这些星系表现出扰动的形态,其中三个显示出活动星系核活动的迹象。特别是,其中两个,位于每个复杂的中心,已被发现主机发光,模糊和高度吸积活动星系核(λ =0.4-0.6)表现出广泛的H α线。此外,通过BPT图在复合体A中发现了第三个光学遮蔽的2型活动星系核。位于复合体B中心的活动星系核在X射线中被探测到,而其他两个以及它们的同伴在空间上与射电辐射有关。这三个活动星系核提供了迄今为止发现的z>1的最近活动星系核三重体之一,最小(最大)投影距离为10 kpc(40 kpc)。在z~1.6的星系团拥挤的核心区域发现了多个活动星系核活动,这表明这些过程在形成新生的布里渊星系团星系中起着关键作用,在局部星系团的中心观察到。根据我们的数据,XDCPJ 0044.0 -2033核心的所有星系都可以形成一个M星~ 10^{12} Msun的BCG,其BH为2 x 10^{8}-10 ^9}Msun,时间尺度为2.5 Gyrs。

英文摘要:

XDCPJ0044.0-2033 is one of the most massive galaxy cluster at z~1.6, for which a wealth of multi-wavelength photometric and spectroscopic data have been collected during the last years. I have reported on the properties of the galaxy members in the very central region (~70kpc x 70kpc) of the cluster, derived through deep HST photometry, SINFONI and KMOS IFU spectroscopy, together with Chandra X-ray, ALMA and JVLA radio data. In the core of the cluster, we have identified two groups of galaxies (Complex A and Complex B), seven of them confirmed to be cluster members, with signatures of ongoing merging. These galaxies show perturbed morphologies and, three of them show signs of AGN activity. In particular, two of them, located at the center of each complex, have been found to host luminous, obscured and highly accreting AGN (lambda=0.4-0.6) exhibiting broad Halpha line. Moreover, a third optically obscured type-2 AGN, has been discovered through BPT diagram in Complex A. The AGN at the center of Complex B is detected in X-ray while the other two, and their companions, are spatially related to radio emission. The three AGN provide one of the closest AGN triple at z>1 revealed so far with a minimum (maximum) projected distance of 10 kpc (40 kpc). The discovery of multiple AGN activity in a highly star-forming region associated to the crowded core of a galaxy cluster at z~1.6, suggests that these processes have a key role in shaping the nascent Brightest Cluster Galaxy, observed at the center of local clusters. According to our data, all galaxies in the core of XDCPJ0044.0-2033 could form a BCG of Mstar ~ 10^{12} Msun hosting a BH of 2 x 10^{8}-10^{9}Msun, in a time scale of the order of 2.5 Gyrs.
