摘要:

我们报告的结果联合钱德拉/ACIS-NuSTAR深观测NGC 1167,年轻的射电喷流B2 0258+35的宿主星系。在ACIS数据中,我们检测到X射线发射,沿着和垂直于射流延伸。在SE射电喷流的末端,我们发现低能量的X射线发射与CO湍流和快速外流运动的区域相吻合。这表明,热的星际介质(ISM)可能被喷流和分子外流压缩,从而导致更有效的冷却。射流ISM相互作用的流体动力学模拟量身定制的NGC 1167与这一结论,并与整体形态和光谱的X射线发射是一致的。钱德拉探测到的微弱硬核源和严格的NuSTAR硬X射线发射上限表明,NGC 1167中的活动星系核(AGN)处于非常低的吸积状态。然而,扩展的X射线发射的特点是更和谐的发光康普顿厚AGN,这表明我们可能会观察到过去的高吸积率插曲的残余,持续强烈的活动持续约2 × 103年。我们的结论是,NGC 1167目前是一个LINER,但在过去的活动星系核,考虑到扩展的X射线发射的性质和它们的相似性与CT活动星系核扩展的发射。

英文摘要:

We report the results of joint Chandra/ACIS - NuSTAR deep observations of NGC 1167, the host galaxy of the young radio jet B2 0258+35. In the ACIS data we detect X-ray emission, extended both along and orthogonal to the jet. At the end of the SE radio jet, we find lower-energy X-ray emission that coincides with a region of CO turbulence and fast outflow motions. This suggests that the hot Interstellar Medium (ISM) may be compressed by the jet and molecular outflow, resulting in more efficient cooling. Hydrodynamic simulations of jet-ISM interaction tailored to NGC 1167 are in agreement with this conclusion and with the overall morphology and spectra of the X-ray emission. The faint hard nuclear source detected with Chandra and the stringent NuSTAR upper limits on the harder X-ray emission show that the active galactic nucleus (AGN) in NGC 1167 is in a very low-accretion state. However, the characteristics of the extended X-ray emission are more consonant to those of luminous Compton Thick AGNs, suggesting that we may be observing the remnants of a past high accretion rate episode, with sustained strong activity lasting ~ 2 x 103 yr. We conclude that NGC1167 is presently a LINER, but was an AGN in the past, given the properties of the extended X-ray emission and their similarity with those of CT AGN extended emission.
