杆和环境在AGN触发中的相对作用

The Relative Role of Bars and Environments in AGN Triggering

Minbae Kim, Yun-Young Choi

摘要:

我们量化的相对作用的星系环境和酒吧的存在对AGN触发面上的旋涡星系使用体积有限的样品$0.02 < z < 0.055$,$M_r < 19.5$,和$σ> 70 \rm ms s^{-1}$从SDSS数据发布7。为了区分它们可能的纠缠效应,我们将样本分为棒状和非棒状样本,每个样本又进一步分为孤立星系、相互作用星系和星系团三种环境情况。孤立病例用作对照样本。对于这六种情况,我们测量AGN的分数在一个固定的中心恒星形成率和中心速度色散,$σ$。我们证明了在活动星系核的触发中,棒致气体流入的内部过程比星系群和星系团外围相互作用的外部机制更有效。棒的不稳定性和星系环境的显着影响被发现在星系的质量相对较小的隆起。我们的结论是,从活动星系核-星系协同演化的角度来看,大质量黑洞是螺旋星系演化的关键驱动力之一。如果不满足,则棒不稳定性有助于演化,并且在没有棒的情况下,星系相互作用/合并变得重要。换句话说,在一个巨大的中央发动机的存在下,两个气体流入机制的作用减少或几乎消失。我们还发现,酒吧在大质量星系是非常决定性的增加AGN分数时,主星系团内。

英文摘要:

We quantify the relative role of galaxy environment and bar presence on AGN triggering in face-on spiral galaxies using a volume-limited sample with $0.02 < z < 0.055$, $M_r < 19.5$, and $σ> 70 \rm ms s^{-1}$ selected from SDSS Data Release 7. To separate their possible entangled effects, we divide the sample into bar and non-bar sample, and each sample is further divided into three environment cases of isolated galaxies, interacting galaxies with a pair, and cluster galaxies. The isolated case is used as a control sample. For these six cases, we measure AGN fractions at a fixed central star formation rate and central velocity dispersion, $σ$. We demonstrate that the internal process of the bar-induced gas inflow is more efficient in AGN triggering than the external mechanism of the galaxy interactions in groups and cluster outskirts. The significant effects of bar instability and galaxy environments are found in galaxies with a relatively less massive bulge. We conclude that from the perspective of AGN-galaxy co-evolution, a massive black hole is one of the key drivers of spiral galaxy evolution. If it is not met, a bar instability helps the evolution, and in the absence of bars, galaxy interactions/mergers become important. In other words, in the presence of a massive central engine, the role of the two gas inflow mechanisms is reduced or almost disappears. We also find that bars in massive galaxies are very decisive in increasing AGN fractions when the host galaxies are inside clusters.
