活动星系核（AGN）反馈在星系演化中起着关键作用。在X射线吸收中探测到的高电离外流，是类星体模式反馈的有前景的候选者。我们提出了对2000年和2004年\emph{钱德拉}高能透射光栅（HETG）对MCG-6-30-15的0.65 Ms观测数据的新贝叶斯分析。我们的方法探测到新的风成分，改进了外流分布和影响的估计。这些包括一个热超快外流（UFO；0.08c），最近被XRISM确认，但首次在HETG中看到，它具有潜在地影响其宿主星系的能力。我们还探测到该源中第一个可能由碰撞电离的吸收体，这是一种在以往分析中通常不考虑的物理过程，但对风的影响和分布可能很重要。暖吸收体复合体以前所未有的细节被解析，揭示了外流速度与电离度之间相关性的证据，约束了其几何结构。我们还确认了风中尘埃的存在，将其与冷ISM成分明确区分开来，这可能影响风的加速。我们的工作凸显了将新方法应用于深层、遗留HETG数据集的力量，以及在考虑OIV、V和VI K壳层跃迁时当前原子数据库的局限性。此外，我们的工作为未来用XRISM和NewAthena进行的新观测建立了十年尺度外流变异的基线。
英文摘要
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) feedback plays a key role in galaxy evolution. Highly ionized outflows, detected in X-ray absorption, are a promising candidate for quasar-mode feedback. We present a new Bayesian analysis of 0.65 Ms of \emph{Chandra} High Energy Transmission Gratings (HETG) observations of MCG-6-30-15 from 2000 and 2004. Our approach detects new wind components, improving estimates of outflow demographics and impact. These include a hot ultra-fast outflow (UFO; 0.08c), recently confirmed by XRISM but seen in HETG for the first time, which has the power to potentially influence its host galaxy. We also detect the first potentially collisionally ionized absorbers in this source, a physical process typically not considered in previous analyses, but potentially important for wind impact and demographics. The warm absorber complex is resolved in unprecedented detail, uncovering evidence of a correlation between outflow velocity and ionization, constraining its geometry. We also confirm the presence of dust in the wind, clearly distinguishing it from the cold ISM components, which may impact wind acceleration. Our work highlights the power of applying new methods to deep, legacy HETG datasets, and the limitations of current atomic databases when considering OIV, V, and VI K-shell transitions. Furthermore, our work establishes a baseline for decade-scale outflow variability for new observations with XRISM and NewAthena in the future.
