AI总结:

该研究利用miniJPAS数据分析了32个X射线AGN与71个恒星形成星系,发现AGN宿主星系中心sSFR受抑制而外部增强,呈由内而外淬灭,凸显J-PAS作为宽视场低分辨率IFU的潜力。

摘要:

我们研究了黑洞核活动对X射线选活动星系核(AGN)中全局和径向恒星形成率(SFR)轮廓的影响,样本来自miniJPAS天区,该天区是更大型J-PAS项目的前身。我们的样本包括32个通过XMM-Newton和Chandra巡天探测到的z < 0.3的AGN。为了进行比较,我们构建了一个包含71个恒星形成(SF)星系的对照样本,这些星系具有相似的星等、大小和红移。为了推导AGN和对照SF样本的全局性质,我们使用CIGALE拟合了来自miniJPAS的56个窄带和4个宽带滤光片所导出的光谱能量分布。我们发现AGN往往寄居于比其SF对应体更大质量的星系中。在基于恒星质量匹配样本并比较它们的SFR和比恒星形成率(sSFR)后,没有出现显著差异。这表明AGN的存在并未强烈影响整体恒星形成。然而,当我们使用miniJPAS作为积分场单元(IFU)沿星系位置角对其进行剖析时,出现了不同的图景。我们发现相对于SF星系,AGN往往在质量上更加中心集中。此外,我们发现在1Re以内sSFR受到抑制,而在1Re以外则增强,这与SF星系中sSFR递减的径向轮廓形成强烈对比。这可能指向AGN宿主星系由内而外的淬灭。这些发现表明,我们在全局尺度上未看到差异的原因是恒星形成在AGN宿主星系的中心区域受到抑制,而在外部区域得到增强。尽管样本量有限,这项工作凸显了即将到来的J-PAS作为宽视场低分辨率IFU对数千个邻近星系和AGN进行研究的潜力。

英文摘要:

We study the impact of black hole nuclear activity on both the global and radial star formation rate (SFR) profiles in X-ray-selected active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the field of miniJPAS, the precursor of the much wider J-PAS project. Our sample includes 32 AGN with z < 0.3 detected via the XMM-Newton and Chandra surveys. For comparison, we assembled a control sample of 71 star-forming (SF) galaxies with similar magnitudes, sizes, and redshifts. To derive the global properties of both the AGN and the control SF sample, we used CIGALE to fit the spectral energy distributions derived from the 56 narrowband and 4 broadband filters from miniJPAS. We find that AGN tend to reside in more massive galaxies than their SF counterparts. After matching samples based on stellar mass and comparing their SFRs and specific SFRs (sSFRs), no significant differences appear. This suggests that the presence of AGN does not strongly influence overall star formation. However, when we used miniJPAS as an integral field unit (IFU) to dissect galaxies along their position angle, a different picture emerges. We find that AGN tend to be more centrally concentrated in mass with respect to SF galaxies. Moreover, we find a suppression of the sSFR up to 1Re and then an enhancement beyond 1Re , strongly contrasting with the decreasing radial profile of sSFRs in SF galaxies. This could point to an inside-out quenching of AGN host galaxies. These findings suggest that the reason we do not see differences on a global scale is because star formation is suppressed in the central regions and enhanced in the outer regions of AGN host galaxies. While limited in terms of sample size, this work highlights the potential of the upcoming J-PAS as a wide-field low-resolution IFU for thousands of nearby galaxies and AGN.
