摘要:
为了更好地理解AGN驱动外流作为一种在星系演化中加热或扫除气体(尺度与星系大小相当)的机制,并探索其物理特性随AGN和宿主星系性质的变化,需要从具有关键静止系光学发射线光谱覆盖的均匀星系样本中选取统计样本。为了评估AGN驱动外流对其宿主星系的影响,我们需要推导外流携带的质量和能量,以及这些量与AGN和宿主星系性质的相关性,以揭示它们对星系群体的影响并约束驱动外流的物理机制。利用ELT多IFU仪器SHARP/VESPER的自适应光学辅助3D光谱,可以构建空间分辨的外流特性图,提供整个视场内的瞬时外流速率,无需假设外流几何形状,从而显著降低基于长缝光谱方法的误差。此外,将这些图与分辨的恒星形成率(SFR)图相结合,可以直接比较整个星系中外流特性与恒星形成活动,为理解AGN反馈如何在亚千秒差距尺度上调控恒星形成提供关键见解。通过将此方法应用于宇宙正午($1.5 < z < 2.5$)的代表性星系样本,涵盖从低质量系统($M_\star = 10^{8-10}\\,M_\odot$)到大质量端($M_\star > 10^{10}\\,M_\odot$)的广泛恒星质量范围,我们旨在系统研究星系群体中AGN活动、外流和恒星形成之间的相互作用。
英文摘要:
To better understand the role of AGN-driven outflows as a mechanism for heating or sweeping up gas over distances comparable to the size of the galaxy in its evolution, and to explore their physical characteristics as a function of AGN and host galaxy properties, it is necessary to have a statistical sample of AGNs selected from a uniform sample of galaxies with spectroscopic coverage of key restframe optical emission lines. To assess the impact of AGN-driven outflows on their host galaxies, we need to derive the mass and energy carried by the outflows, as well as correlations of these quantities with both AGN and host galaxy properties, in order to reveal their effects on the galaxy population and constrain the physical mechanisms driving the outflows. The availability of adaptive-optics-assisted 3D spectroscopy with the ELT multi-IFU instrument SHARP/VESPER enables the construction of spatially resolved outflow property maps, providing instantaneous outflow rates across the entire field of view without assuming outflow geometry, and thus significantly reducing the uncertainties compared to methods based on longslit spectroscopy. Furthermore, combining these maps with resolved star formation rate (SFR) maps allows a direct comparison between outflow properties and star-formation activity across the galaxy, providing key insights into how AGN feedback regulates star formation down to sub-kpc scales. By applying this approach to a representative sample of galaxies at cosmic noon ($1.5 < z < 2.5$), spanning a wide range of stellar masses from low-mass systems ($M_\star = 10^{8-10}\,M_\odot$) to the massive end ($M_\star > 10^{10}\,M_\odot$), we aim to systematically investigate the interplay between AGN activity, outflows, and star formation in the galaxy population as a whole.
