摘要:

红色间歇泉是静止的星系,有星系尺度的电离流出,可能是由于低光度的活动星系核(AGN)。我们使用双子座GMOS-IFU观测的内部$\sim 1.0-3.0$ kpc的9个红色间歇泉选择从MANGA调查研究气体电离和运动学。发射线比表明在所有源中存在Seyfert/LINER(低电离核发射区)核。两个星系显示H $α$等效宽度(H $α$ EW)大于3 μ m(指示活动星系核电离)的孔径2.5 arcsec的直径($1.3-3.7$ kpc在星系的距离)的MANGA数据,而与更高的分辨率GMOS数据,四个星系呈现H $α$ EW $>3$ μ m的孔径等于角分辨率($0.3-0.9$ kpc)。对于两个具有GMOS-IFU数据的天体,H $α$ EW低于3 μ m但大于1.5 μ m,很可能是由于微弱的活动星系核。空间分辨电子密度图显示的值在$100-3000$ cm $^{-3}$之间,与其他研究中确定的值一致。大(MaNGA)和核尺度(GMOS-IFU)气体速度场未对齐,运动学位置角差在12 $^{\circ}$和60 $^{\circ}$之间。[NII] $λ$ 6583的发射线轮廓是不对称的,蓝翼在速度场的红移侧,红翼在蓝移侧。我们的研究结果支持以前的迹象表明,在红色间歇泉的气体电离的活动星系核,至少在其中心区域,与外流的存在下,可能起源于一个旋进吸积盘。

英文摘要:

Red Geysers are quiescent galaxies with galactic scale ionised outflows, likely due to low-luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). We used Gemini GMOS-IFU observations of the inner $\sim 1.0-3.0$ kpc of nine Red Geysers selected from the MaNGA survey to study the gas ionisation and kinematics. The emission-line ratios suggest the presence of Seyfert/LINER (Low Ionisation Nuclear Emission Region) nuclei in all sources. Two galaxies show H$α$ equivalent width (H$α$ EW) larger than 3 Å(indicative of AGN ionisation) within an aperture 2.5 arcsec of diameter ($1.3-3.7$ kpc at the distance of galaxies) for MaNGA data, while with the higher resolution GMOS data, four galaxies present H$α$ EW$>3$ Åwithin an aperture equal to the angular resolution ($0.3-0.9$ kpc). For two objects with GMOS-IFU data, the H$α$ EW is lower than 3 Åbut larger than 1.5 Å, most probably due to a faint AGN. The spatially resolved electron density maps show values between $100-3000$ cm$^{-3}$ and are consistent with those determined in other studies. The large (MaNGA) and the nuclear scale (GMOS-IFU) gas velocity fields are misaligned, with a kinematic position angle difference between 12$^{\circ}$ and 60$^{\circ}$. The [NII]$λ$6583 emission-line profiles are asymmetrical, with blue wings on the redshifted side of the velocity field and red wings on the blueshifted side. Our results support previous indications that the gas in Red Geysers is ionised by an AGN, at least in their central region, with the presence of outflows, likely originating in a precessing accretion disc.
