摘要:

紧凑的陡谱射电源3C 298(红移1.44)在3CR(修订的第三剑桥星表)中拥有最大的178 MHz光度;它的射电波瓣是宇宙中最明亮的。无线电波瓣的等离子体状态的建模与干涉无线电观测(特别是,新的低频阵列观测和档案MERLIN数据)和档案单站数据的帮助。据估计,用轻子等离子体填充这些叶所需的长期时间平均喷流功率为$\overline{Q} \approx 1.28 \pm 0.51 \times 10^{47} \rm{erg}\,\rm{s}^{-1}$,可与任何类星体的最大时间平均喷流功率相媲美。支持这一非凡喷流能量概念的是$\approx 5.2 \times 10^{46} \rm{erg}\, \rm{s}^{-1}$的0.5 keV-10 keV亮度,与发光的耀变体相当,但没有其他迹象表明强烈的相对论性光束。我们结合两个新的高信号噪声光学光谱观测从Hobby-Eberly望远镜与档案哈勃太空望远镜,两微米调查和星系演化探测器的数据来计算的热光度从吸积流的$L_{\rm{bol}} \approx 1.55 \pm 0.15 \times 10^{47} \rm{erg} \,\rm{s}^{-1}$。这个比值$\overline{Q}/L_{\rm{bol}}\approx 1$是类星体的近似上限。大$\overline{Q}/L_{\rm{bol}}$的特点,我们发现一个极紫外(EUV)光谱是非常陡峭的(“EUV赤字”的强大的射电类星体相对于无线电安静的类星体),这种弱电离连续可能是一个贡献因素相对较小的等效宽度的宽发射线在这个类星体。

英文摘要:

The compact steep spectrum radio source, 3C 298, (redshift of 1.44) has the largest 178 MHz luminosity in the 3CR (revised Third Cambridge Catalogue) catalog; its radio lobes are among the most luminous in the Universe. The plasma state of the radio lobes is modeled with the aid of interferometric radio observations (in particular, the new Low Frequency Array observation and archival MERLIN data) and archival single-station data. It is estimated that the long-term time-averaged jet power required to fill these lobes with leptonic plasma is $\overline{Q} \approx 1.28 \pm 0.51 \times 10^{47} \rm{erg}\,\rm{s}^{-1}$, rivaling the largest time averaged jet powers from any quasar. Supporting this notion of extraordinary jet power is a 0.5 keV -10 keV luminosity of $\approx 5.2 \times 10^{46} \rm{erg}\, \rm{s}^{-1}$, comparable to luminous blazars, yet there is no other indication of strong relativistic beaming. We combine two new high signal to noise optical spectroscopic observations from the Hobby-Eberly Telescope with archival Hubble Space Telescope, Two Micron Survey and Galaxy Evolutionary Explorer data to compute a bolometric luminosity from the accretion flow of $L_{\rm{bol}} \approx 1.55 \pm 0.15 \times 10^{47} \rm{erg} \,\rm{s}^{-1}$. The ratio, $\overline{Q}/L_{\rm{bol}}\approx 1$, is the approximate upper limit for quasars. Characteristic of a large $\overline{Q}/L_{\rm{bol}}$, we find an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectrum that is very steep (the "EUV deficit" of powerful radio quasars relative to radio quiet quasars) and this weak ionizing continuum is likely a contributing factor to the relatively small equivalent widths of the broad emission lines in this quasar.
