当具有各向同性速度分布的相对论电子穿过稠密气体区,或者轰击稠密气体区的表面时,切仑科夫效应将会产生一种特殊的原子或离子发射线,称做切仑科夫线状发射.这一预言在光学波段已由实验室的实验所证实.把线状发射理论推广到X射线波段,给出计算切仑科夫铁Kα和Kβ发射线的强度比和本征红移比的基本公式,列出了不同价次铁线的强度比和本征红移比.这一计算结果在活动星系核中有可能找到潜在的应用.最近观测发现源NGC3783,除存在着6.4 keV的铁Kα发射线,还存在着很强的7.0 keV的铁Kβ发射线,且两者等值宽度之比为EW_(Kα)/EW_(Kβ)≈3.43,这很难用传统的"光电吸收-莹光机制"来解释.切仑科夫线状发射机制可为解决这一困惑提供一条新途径.此外,期待切仑科夫铁Kα和Kβ线的本征红移比也会在以后的观测中能得到检验.假如切仑科夫线状辐射的设想得到观测的进一步支持,则对中央大质量黑洞周围物理环境的传统认识将有大的修改-活动更加剧烈,而且更加高能,其中气体也更加稠密.  相似文献

在切仑柯夫线发射理论的框架下,本文统一地讨论了类星体HI谱线的切合柯夫红移与线强比I(Lyα)/I(Hβ)之间的内在关系。忽略类星体宽线区气云外层光薄区中HI复合线的贡献,利用观测到的Lyα线相对于CIV线的相对红移,即切金柯夫红移,定出第二能级上粒子数布居R_2~0.02,利用观测的〈I(Hα)/I(Hβ)〉值定出参量x_β~14.0。在给定参量T~11000K时,HI的巴尔末线的切仑柯夫红移与线强比I(Lyα)/I(Hβ)同时与观测值相符甚佳,这对切仑柯夫线发射理论是一个有力的支持。  相似文献

本文提出用切仑科夫射电谱线发射机制解释分子云的非热发射谱线。相对论电子在某种粒子数反转布居的分子云中穿行时,可以产生具有反常强度比的微波发射谱线。对与超新星遗迹成协的Ⅱ_(?)类OH源的非热平衡发射谱线所作的计算表明,这种非热辐射机制可能成为解决天体脉塞理论困难的一种有希望的途径。  相似文献

在80 年代初,尤峻汉和程富华从理论上证实,当相对论电子在稠密气体中运动时,切伦科夫效应将产生宽的、轮廓明显不对称的原子或分子发射线.此后这一新的谱线发射机制被一系列实验所确证.尤峻汉等人又进一步给出了有关切伦科夫辐射的系列解析公式,但其有关谱轮廓和红移的结论只适用于极稠密的气体.由于这一线辐射机制在天体物理中的潜在重要性,在他们工作的基础上,进一步简化、推广、改进了原有的公式体系,并以天体物理学家熟悉的形式做出了更便于实际应用的表述  相似文献

富尘埃宽发射线类星体在星系演化中十分关键,而星系中分子气体的信息有助于人们了解其恒星形成潜力等性质。使用IRAM-30m望远镜对红移0.5 ⊙·a-1,气体耗竭时间为(20~300) Ma。将它们的红外光度与CO光度进行比较,发现该富尘埃宽发射线类星体样本的恒星形成效率相对其他亚毫米波星系及类星体无明显区别。在该样本中发现了活动星系核相对强度与气体耗竭时间的负相关关系,这与目前的类星体演化理论相符。  相似文献

我们从极亮红外星系样本中选出了由 2 5个类星体组成的红外类星体样本 ,研究其光谱特征。与光学选类星体样本相比 ,红外类星体样本有显著的不同特征。统计结果表明我们的红外类星体中绝大多数为窄线源 (其允许发射线Hβ的半高全宽小于4 0 0 0km/s)。超过 6 0 %的红外类星体可归为亮的窄线赛弗特I星系。超过 70 %的红外类星体有很强或极强的FeⅡ发射线 ,这是目前已知的强FeⅡ线源比例最高的类星体 /赛弗特Ⅰ星系子样本。Hβ宽发射线倾向于有比较明显的蓝翼不对称 ,这一特征很可能与外向流有关。FeⅡ与Hβ的发射线强度之比和Hβ宽发射线的蓝翼不对称紧密相关  相似文献

本文介绍了“国际紫外探测器”卫星(International Ultraviolet Explorer,简称IUE),评述了IUE发射十年来在类星体紫外光谱方面的研究工作。类星体连续谱中的3000埃隆起,可用巴尔末连续的复合辐射来解释,但也不能忽略FeⅡ线,高阶巴尔末线及光厚云的贡献。对100—10000埃的大隆起,通常认为由类星体中央大质量黑洞周围吸积盘的热发射产生。类星体紫外谱指数随红移增大而变平,则可能暗示着大隆起的演化,但也可能是大红移类星体选择效应的影响。类星体紫外发射线CⅣ的等值宽度与连续谱背景光度之间存在的很好的负相关性,即所谓的Baldwin效应,是连续谱光度与电离参量相关的结果。在切仑柯夫线辐射理论的框架下,紫外发射线Lya相对于CⅣ线的微小红移,正是理论预言的切仑柯夫红移值。由此,估算出第二能级的粒子数布居R_2。对3C273及0916 558的具体估算表明,这两个源的宽线云中HI区温度分别为9000—12000K和10000K,这些温度产生的黑体谱的峰值波长位置恰好在3000埃附近,为解释3000埃隆起提供了一条新的途径。  相似文献

类星体SDSS J151653.22+190048.2 (简称J1516+1900)在紫外-光学-近红外波段展现出奇特的光谱性质:其光学Hα、Hβ和近红外的Paα、Paβ等发射线的半高全宽(full width at half maximum intensity, FWHM)均超过5000 km/s,等值宽度接近类星体平均值;而紫外波段光谱的常见发射线Lyβ、OVI、Lyα、NV、Si IV和CIV等,由FWHM1700 km/s的中等宽度成分主导.这种现象很可能是由于紫外发射线的宽线成分经尘埃消光,强度严重削弱,从而使得中等宽度成分凸显出来;在光学和近红外波段,尘埃消光减弱,发射线由宽线成分主导,潜在的中等宽度成分不容易被看到.根据中等宽度成分的线宽和J1516+1900中央超大质量黑洞的质量MBH5.75×108M⊙,在维里化假设下,估计中等宽度发射区到中央黑洞的距离约为1.6 pc.另一方面,利用J1516+1900丰富的观测谱线,结合光致电离模型计算,可以限定J1516+1900的中等宽度发射线区气体密度1012cm-3、电离参数10-0.65.据此估计该发射线区到中心黑洞距离0.016 pc,只有维里化距离的1%.这一矛盾结果预示着中等宽度发射区可能具有较为复杂的物理结构,未来需要观测更多类似J1516+1900的部分遮蔽类星体并进行系统的分类和研究.  相似文献

分析了42个类星体的SPITZER IRS中红外光谱,并测量了连续谱和各发射特征强度,其中包括5.5μm连续谱强度、10μm silicate发射,和窄发射线[S IV]10.5μm,[Ne V]14.3μm,[NeIII]15.6μm,和[O IV]25.9μm的流量。5.5μm连续谱强度和窄发射线强度之间存在很强的相关关系,说明5.5μm连续谱也由活动星系核中心光子直接激发,并可以作为活动星系核强度的示踪。发现10μm silicate发射与Eigenvector I没有相关关系,说明类星体中大多数的尘埃不可能与窄线区共存。  相似文献

When the thermal relativistic electrons with isotropic distribution of velocities move through a dense gas region or impinge upon the surface of a cloud of dense gas, the Cerenkov effect will produce peculiar atomic or ionic emission lines, which we call the “Cerenkov line-like radiation”. This prediction has been verified by the laboratory experiments in optical waveband. In this paper, the importance of the Cerenkov line-like radiation in the exploration of broad emission lines in quasars and Syf1 s is pointed out. By using this mechanism, some long standing and significant puzzles in the study of quasars could be solved. Furthermore, the magnitude orders of energy losses of various effects of a relativistic electron in cosmic gas are estimated and compared with each other to prove the effectiveness of this new mechanism in quasars.  相似文献

We have pointed out that, when thermal relativistic electrons with an isotropic velocity distribution move through a region of dense gas or impinge upon its surface, the Cerenkov effect will produce a particular kind of atomic or ionic emission line, which we have called the “Cerenkov line-like radiation”. This prediction for the optical wavebands has been verified by laboratory experiments. In this paper, we extend this line-like radiation theory to the X-ray waveband and give the basic formulae for calculating the intensity ratio and intrinsic redshift ratio of the Cerenkov iron Kα and Kβ lines, for different ionization orders of iron. Potential application of this calculated result may be found in the study of AGNs. The recent observations of NGC3783 show that besides the iron Kα line at ∼6.4 keV, there is also a very strong iron Kβ line at ∼7.0 keV, and that the ratio of equivalent widths between the two is anomalous: EWKα/EWKβ ≈ 3.43. It is difficult to explain this by the conventional mechanism of “photoelectric absorption-fluorescence emission”. We suggest that the mechanism of Cerenkov line-like radiation can provides a way of solving this puzzle. Besides, we expect that the calculated intrinsic redshift ratio of Cerenkov iron Kα and Kβ lines could be tested in future observations. If our suggestion is further supported by observations, then our view on the physical environment around the central massive black hole of an AGN will be greatly modified: the activity becomes more energetic and violent, and the gas, much denser than previously thought.  相似文献

类星体与赛弗特Ⅰ型星系中观测到很陡的巴尔末减缩,与传统的理论预言相矛盾.这是一个长期没有解决的困惑.如果活动星系核的宽的氢线是产生于“Cerenkov线状辐射”机制,这一难题就可解决.搜集了过去已发表的近百个有巴尔末减缩观测结果的类星体与赛弗特星系源,并采用“Cerenkov线状辐射”这一新型辐射机制的线强比公式完成了对观测的巴尔末减缩的理论计算.理论与观测符合很好,这是活动星系核宽的氢发射线主要起源于“Cerenkov线状辐射”机制的一个重要证据.如果这一结论最终获得肯定,将大大改变人们对活动星系核物理的认识.  相似文献

Observations of QSOs and Seyfert I galaxies show an anomalously steep Balmer decrement, which is in contradiction to the prediction of the traditional recombination theory. This is a long standing puzzle in past three decades in the study of AGNs. In this paper, we provide an alternative approach to solve this puzzle by using a newly recognized line emission mechanism, namely, the “Cerenkov line-like radiation”. For this purpose, we collected about a hundred of QSOs and Seyfert I galaxies, whose Balmer decrements have been measured and published in the past 30 years, and make the theoretical calculations on the observed Balmer decrements using an improved formula for the Cerenkov line intensity. The agreement between the calculations and observations is excellent. Therefore, we argue that the broad hydrogen lines of the QSOs and Seyfert I galaxies mainly originate from the Cerenkov line-like radiation of relativistic electrons. If this suggestion is further confirmed, our knowledge about the physics of AGNs will be greatly changed.  相似文献

We use the Cerenkov line radiation and the moving model of quasar to discuss the formation of some broad emission lines of quasars. Our calculated profiles and relative intensities of the lines are in good agreement with the observations. The Cerenkov line radiation may therefore be important in the formation of the emission lines.  相似文献

It has been recently observed by XMM-Newton that besides the emission line of iron Kα at 6.4 keV there also exists in the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 3783 the very intense emission line of iron Kβ at 7.0 keV. Moreover, the ratio of equivalent widths (EWs) of these two lines can hardly be interpreted with the traditional mechanism of “photoelectric absorption — fluorescence emission”. By using the mechanism of Cerenkov line-like radiation proposed by YOU Jun-hian et al., the ratio of EWKα/EWKβ may be reasonably interpreted by means of a detailed model theoretical computation. As shown by the results, the iron K lines in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are formed not only by the fluorescence mechanism, but also by the Cerenkov line-like radiation. Both coexist in AGNs, with the latter playing the dominant role.  相似文献

Confronted by observations, the difficulties to explain the formation of the iron lines in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the context of the current “reflection disk-photoelectric absorption-fluorescence line” model are discussed in detail, and it is further pointed out that a newly recognized line emission mechanism — the Cerenkov line-like radiation could be the dominant mechanism to produce the AGN iron line. The negative effect of the hydrogen plasma on the refractive index is proved to be negligible. The Cerenkov iron line emission is calculated for the optically thin case and compared with the observations. The reasonableness of this new mechanism is verified, thus providing a new scenario for the physical situation around a black hole.  相似文献

In the framework of the Cerenkov line enission theory we discuss the intrinsic relation between the Cerenkov redshift of HI emission lines of quasars and the line intensity ratio . Neglecting the contributions of HI recombination lines in the outer optically thin zones of quasars we can use the observed relative shift of the Ly line with respect to the CIV line, i.e., the Cerenkov redshift, to obtain an estimate of the particle population at the 2nd energy level, R2≈ 0.02. We can also use the observed value to estimate the parameter ≈ 14.0. For a temperature of 11000 K, the predicted Cerenkov redshifts of HI Balmer lines and the intensity ratio are then both in good agreement with the observations. This is a strong support for the Cerenkov line emission theory.  相似文献
