摘要:

外流在塑造星系性质的星系演化中起着核心作用。了解低光度活动星系核(如LINER)的外流及其影响是至关重要的(例如,它们是本机宇宙中众多的活动星系核)。我们获得了原型LINER NGC 1052的VLT/MUSE和GTC/MEGARA光学IFS数据。恒星分布在一个动态的热盘,具有中央峰值速度色散图和大的观测速度振幅。电离气体,探测到的主要组成部分高达$\sim$ 30弧秒($\sim$ 3.3千秒差距),主要是在极地方向与蓝色和红色的速度($\mid$ V $\mid$ $<$ 250公里/秒)。速度色散图显示了一个显著的增强($σ$ $>$ 90 km/s),沿着星系的主轴在中央10角秒内穿过星系。次级分量具有双极形态,速度分散大于150 km/s,速度高达660 km/s。第三个分量被检测到,但没有空间分辨。NaD吸收图表明光学上厚的中性气体,其速度场与缓慢旋转的圆盘一致($Δ$ V = 77 $\pm$ 12 km/s),但速度色散图是偏心的,通量图中没有任何对应物。我们发现了电离气体流出的证据,质量为1.6 $\pm$ 0.6 $\times$ 10 $^{5}$ Msun,质量速率为0.4 $\pm$ 0.2 Msun/年。流出物在增强湍流的气体茧中传播,并可能引发千万亿分之一秒尺度的浮力气泡(极性发射)。考虑到外流的能量和动能(分别为1.3 $\pm$ 0.9 $\times$ 10 $^{53}$ erg和8.8 $\pm$ 3.5 $\times$ 10 $^{40}$ erg/s),以及它与喷流和茧的对齐,气体是碰撞电离的,我们认为外流是喷流动力的,尽管活动星系核可能有一些贡献。

英文摘要:

Outflows play a central role in galaxy evolution shaping the properties of galaxies. Understanding outflows and their effects in low luminosity AGNs, such as LINERs, is essential (e.g. they are a numerous AGN population in the local Universe). We obtained VLT/MUSE and GTC/MEGARA optical IFS-data for NGC1052, the prototypical LINER. The stars are distributed in a dynamically hot disc, with a centrally peaked velocity dispersion map and large observed velocity amplitudes. The ionised gas, probed by the primary component is detected up to $\sim$30arcsec ($\sim$3.3 kpc) mostly in the polar direction with blue and red velocities ($\mid$V$\mid$$<$250 km/s). The velocity dispersion map shows a notable enhancement ($σ$$>$90 km/s) crossing the galaxy along the major axis of rotation in the central 10arcsec. The secondary component has a bipolar morphology, velocity dispersion larger than 150 km/s and velocities up to 660 km/s. A third component is detected but not spatially resolved. The maps of the NaD absorption indicate optically thick neutral gas with a velocity field consistent with a slow rotating disc ($Δ$V = 77$\pm$12 km/s) but the velocity dispersion map is off-centred without any counterpart in the flux map. We found evidence of an ionised gas outflow with mass of 1.6$\pm$0.6 $\times$ 10$^{5}$ Msun, and mass rate of 0.4$\pm$0.2 Msun/yr. The outflow is propagating in a cocoon of gas with enhanced turbulence and might be triggering the onset of kpc-scale buoyant bubbles (polar emission). Taking into account the energy and kinetic power of the outflow (1.3$\pm$0.9 $\times$ 10$^{53}$ erg and 8.8$\pm$3.5 $\times$ 10$^{40}$ erg/s, respectively) as well as its alignment with both the jet and the cocoon, and that the gas is collisionally ionised, we consider that the outflow is jet-powered, although some contribution from the AGN is possible.
