探究11个射电宁静PG类星体中的喷流、风与多相气体相互作用:一项uGMRT-VLA研究

AI总结:

本研究利用VLA和uGMRT数据分析了11个射电宁静PG类星体的射电偏振特性,发现多数源存在低功率喷流及喷流-介质相互作用,但未观察到射电特性与星系全局特性的强相关性,表明AGN反馈效应可能受时间尺度限制。

摘要:

我们展示了来自Karl G. Jansky甚大阵列(VLA)的11个射电宁静PG类星体在5 GHz下的偏振敏感图像。基于VLA研究得出的射电形态、光谱指数和偏振特性,结合我们之前685 MHz uGMRT数据的发现,我们在9个源中发现了亚角秒和角秒尺度上的低功率喷流;部分源显示出弯曲喷流的特征。其余2个源的射电辐射起源仍不清楚。在这11个源中,有4个探测到线偏振,分数偏振在2%到21%之间。在PG 1229+204中,推断的B场方向与局部千秒差距尺度喷流方向平行。在PG 0934+013中,推断的B场与向南的微弱延伸方向垂直。对于PG 0050+124和PG 0923+129,B场结构与射电外流方向之间的关系仍不清楚。基于VLA喷流动能功率论证和偏振数据,可以推断出整个样本中存在局部的或小尺度的喷流与介质相互作用。这些可能具有作为反馈机制的潜力。我们发现射电特性与文献中已发表的恒星形成量、[O III]和CO量之间没有显示出强相关性。缺乏AGN反馈对全局星系特性的证据,可能是由于AGN活动的时间尺度与任何影响可能发生的时间尺度之间的相对差异所致。

英文摘要:

We present polarization-sensitive images from the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) at 5 GHz of 11 radio-quiet PG quasars. Based on the radio morphology, spectral index and polarization properties from the VLA study, coupled with the findings of our previous 685 MHz uGMRT data, we find the presence of low-power jets on sub-arcsecond and arcsecond scales in 9 sources; some show signatures of bent jets. The origin of radio emission remains unclear in the remaining 2 sources. Of the 11 sources, linear polarization is detected in four of them with fractional polarization ranging between 2% and 21%. In PG 1229+204, the inferred B-field direction is parallel to the local kpc-scale jet direction. The inferred B-fields are transverse to the weak southward extension in PG 0934+013. For PG 0050+124 and PG 0923+129, the relationship between the B-field structure and radio outflow direction remains unclear. Localized or small-scale jet-medium interactions can be inferred across the sample based on the VLA jet kinetic power arguments and polarization data. These may have the potential as a feedback mechanism. We find that the radio properties do not show strong correlations with the star formation, [O III] and CO quantities published in the literature. The lack of evidence of AGN feedback on the global galaxy properties could be due to the relative time scales of AGN activity and those over which any impact might be taking place.
