AI总结:

通过ALMA带3观测发现M87活动星系核周围存在两个紧凑吸收特征及垂直于喷流的扩展吸收特征,可能与分子碎片或喷流冲击压缩有关。

摘要:

我们利用阿塔卡马大型毫米波-亚毫米波阵列(ALMA)带3数据报告检测到两个围绕M87核的紧凑吸收特征以及一些垂直于M87喷流的扩展吸收特征。一个紧凑吸收特征出现在M87活动星系核的位置,另一个则距离AGN0.5角秒。这两个紧凑特征在速度范围-500到+2000 km/s的积分强度图中表现为明确的负结构。这两个特征相距约40 pc,假设M87的距离。这些特征的成因可能是与超大质量黑洞(SMBH)相关的密集分子碎片,可能与旋转的环状丝状物有关,或是在向核区流入的分子碎片/物体。垂直于喷流的扩展吸收特征出现在所有速度范围内,可能由喷流结A和C相关的冲击压缩区域引起。

英文摘要:

We report detection of two compact absorption features surrounding the M87 nucleus and some extended absorption features perpendicular to the M87 jet using the Atacama Large millimeter-submillimeter-Array (ALMA) Band 3 data. One compact absorption feature appears at the position of the M87 AGN and the other $0.5\arcsec$ away from the AGN. These two compact features appear as well-defined negative structures in the integrated intensity map from the velocity range of $-500$ to $+2000~{\rm km~s^{-1}}$. These two features are separated by a distance of $\sim$40~pc assuming the distance of M87. The origin of these features could be dense molecular fragments associated with super massive black holes (SMBHs), possibly associated with a rotating torus filament, or in-falling molecular fragments/objects feeding the nucleus. The extended absorption features perpendicular to the jet appear in all velocity ranges and can be caused by shock compressed regions associated with the jet knots A and C.
