摘要:

最近的研究表明,红色类星体是类星体演化的一个阶段,当来自黑洞吸积的反馈从宿主星系的核中疏散遮蔽气体时。在这里,我们报告了在$z\sim2.5$的类星体中尘埃变红和分子外流之间的直接联系。通过研究在星系内部区域的温暖分子气体的动力学,我们检测到流出速度为500- 1000公里秒$^{-1}$和推断的时间尺度的$\approx0.1$ MYR是由于正在进行的类星体能量输出。我们只在黑洞附近的尘埃上的类星体辐射压力足够大以驱逐它们的遮蔽气体柱密度的系统中观察到流出。这一结果与预测辐射反馈调节星系核区域气体的理论模型一致,并且是银河系尺度冷气体流出的主要驱动机制。我们的研究结果表明,辐射类星体的反馈,从新生恒星内的恒星膨胀的速度相媲美的速度,甚至从最明亮的类星体流出的分子生存。

英文摘要:

Recent studies have suggested that red quasars are a phase in quasar evolution when feedback from black hole accretion evacuates obscuring gas from the nucleus of the host galaxy. Here, we report a direct link between dust-reddening and molecular outflows in quasars at $z\sim2.5$. By examining the dynamics of warm molecular gas in the inner region of galaxies, we detect outflows with velocities 500--1000 km s$^{-1}$ and infer timescales of $\approx0.1$ Myr that are due to ongoing quasar energy output. We observe outflows only in systems where quasar radiation pressure on dust in the vicinity of the black hole is sufficiently large to expel their obscuring gas column densities. This result is in agreement with theoretical models that predict radiative feedback regulates gas in the nuclear regions of galaxies and is a major driving mechanism of galactic-scale outflows of cold gas. Our findings suggest that radiative quasar feedback ejects star-forming gas from within nascent stellar bulges at velocities comparable to those seen on larger scales, and that molecules survive in outflows even from the most luminous quasars.
