AGN光回波与吸积盘自重极限

AGN Light Echoes and the Accretion Disc Self-Gravity Limit

Andrew Lobban, Andrew King

摘要:

吸积盘理论预测,活动星系核盘会产生自引力,并分裂成外半径为$R_{\rm sg}$ ~ 12光日的恒星,实际上没有自由参数。我们提出的证据表明,较长的观测活动星系核光回波都接近12 d的活动星系核静止框架。这些观测结果对活动星系核盘理论进行了严格的检验。进一步的监测应提供洞察形成圆盘的气体的形成角动量。对于遥远的活动星系核,观测到的滞后明显长于12天,给出了它们红移的下限。

英文摘要:

Accretion disc theory predicts that an AGN disc becomes self-gravitating and breaks up into stars at an outer radius $R_{\rm sg}$ ~ 12 light-days, with effectively no free parameter. We present evidence that the longer observed AGN light echoes are all close to 12d in the AGN rest frames. These observations give a stringent test of AGN disc theory. Further monitoring should offer insight into the formation angular momentum of the gas forming the disc. For distant AGN, observed lags significantly longer than 12d give lower limits on their redshifts.
