摘要:

附近的正面螺旋星系NGC 2617在2013年春季经历了一次明确的“由内而外”的多波长爆发,并且可能在2010年至2012年之间发生了戏剧性的塞弗特类型变化,出现了宽的光学发射线。为了寻找与这种可变吸积活动相关的喷流活动,我们进行了多分辨率和多波长的射电观测。利用欧洲VLBI网(EVN)在1.7和5.0 GHz的甚长基线干涉测量(VLBI)观测,我们发现NGC 2617有一个部分同步辐射自吸收的致密射电核,并有一个明显的核位移,以及一个光学上薄的陡谱喷流,向北延伸到投影约2秒差距。我们还使用电子多元素远程链接干涉仪网络(e-MERLIN)在1.5和5.5 GHz观测了NGC 2617,并重新访问了甚大阵列(VLA)和甚长基线阵列(VLBA)的档案数据。在2013年6月至2014年1月期间,射电核心在5.0 GHz处有一个稳定的通量密度约为1.4 mJy,这与低吸积率状态下的超大质量黑洞的预期一致。北方急流成分不太可能与2013年的“由内而外”爆发有关。此外,我们报告说,在现有的VLA调查在1.4 GHz的大多数光学选择在z<0.83的变化看AGN的sub-mJy的射电源,它是不可能的,他们比正常的活动星系核在射频更活跃。

英文摘要:

The nearby face-on spiral galaxy NGC 2617 underwent an unambiguous 'inside-out' multi-wavelength outburst in Spring 2013, and a dramatic Seyfert type change probably between 2010 and 2012, with the emergence of broad optical emission lines. To search for the jet activity associated with this variable accretion activity, we carried out multi-resolution and multi-wavelength radio observations. Using the very long baseline interferometric (VLBI) observations with the European VLBI Network (EVN) at 1.7 and 5.0 GHz, we find that NGC 2617 shows a partially synchrotron self-absorbed compact radio core with a significant core shift, and an optically thin steep-spectrum jet extending towards the north up to about two parsecs in projection. We also observed NGC 2617 with the electronic Multi-Element Remotely Linked Interferometer Network (e-MERLIN) at 1.5 and 5.5 GHz, and revisited the archival data of the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA). The radio core had a stable flux density of about 1.4 mJy at 5.0 GHz between 2013 June and 2014 January, in agreement with the expectation of a supermassive black hole in the low accretion rate state. The northern jet component is unlikely to be associated with the 'inside-out' outburst of 2013. Moreover, we report that most optically selected changing-look AGN at z<0.83 are sub-mJy radio sources in the existing VLA surveys at 1.4 GHz, and it is unlikely that they are more active than normal AGN at radio frequencies.
