通过对比间隔17yr (静止系12.5yr)的Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)、Keck LRIS (Low-Resolution Imaging Spectrograph)和Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS)的光学光谱, 对宽线双峰射电类星体B3 1637+436A的吸积盘性质做了初步研究.该类星体的SDSS (2001年5月21日)和Keck LRIS (2003年6月28\lk 日)的连续谱没有明显差异, 而BOSS (2018月6月17日)连续谱在V波段比SDSS暗了约1.2星等.这3条光谱的Hα宽发射线均表现出明显的双峰轮廓. 和连续谱一样, 宽线双峰的发射线轮廓也被认为是来自于吸积盘.通过上述3条光谱的Hα宽线双峰的盘模型拟合发现: BOSS光谱的Hα宽线双峰可以用单个盘模型很好地拟合,谱线发射区距离中心黑洞约900--3000引力半径. 而SDSS和Keck LRIS的Hα双峰轮廓需要用两个盘模型拟合, 对应的吸积盘发射区有两个区域,其中一个发射区(``外盘'')与BOSS类似, 另一个发射区(``内盘'')位于约400--900引力半径范围内, 到中心黑洞的距离显著小于外盘. 结合连续谱的光变特征,推测内盘消失是造成SDSS/Keck LRIS光谱和BOSS光谱在连续谱和发射线轮廓上同时发生光变的主要原因.  相似文献

考虑了喷流的吸收效应对类星体3C 279多波段能谱的影响.在不含时的同步自康普顿(SSC)模型的基础上,假定喷流中辐射的包受到在其前面的已冷却的包的遮挡,从而使得辐射区的发射可被吸收,这导致能谱的改变.计算表明喷流物质会对类星体辐射区发出的X射线波段的辐射有强烈的吸收,同时喷流物质会以发射线的形式在软X射线和紫外波段将吸收来的能量发射出去.利用这样的模型拟合了类星体3C 279观测到的多波段能谱,并对结果给出了简要的讨论.  相似文献

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1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.研究指出了切仑科夫线状辐射在类星体和赛弗特1星系的宽发射线研究中的重要性,利用此新机制有可能解决类星体研究中的一些重大且长期没有解决的疑惑.例如宽氢线之间存在的反常强度比,特别是反常Lyα/Lyβ强度比的问题.并且进一步估计了相对论电子穿过宇宙气体时所产生的各种效应的能耗的数量级,并对各种能耗进行比较,证实了切仑科夫线状发射机制在类星体和塞弗特1型星系中的有效性.  相似文献

收集了117个类星体(20个射电宁静类星体和97个射电噪类星体)的红移、热光度、H_β发射线宽度、5 100 A的单色光度、射电噪度.利用反响映射法计算了样本的黑洞质量和爱丁顿比,利用总的5 GHz流量密度计算出射电光度.分析了它们之间的相关性,得到的结论如下:(1)射电宁静类星体的黑洞质量和热光度、射电噪度、射电光度之间具有弱相关性,而射电噪类星体黑洞质量和热光度、射电噪度、射电光度之间具有强相关性;(2)射电宁静类星体热光度和射电光度、5 100 A的单色光度之间具有弱的相关性,而射电噪类星体热光度和射电光度、5 100 A的单色光度之间具有强的相关性;(3)射电宁静和射电噪类星体的黑洞质量、发射线宽度和爱丁顿比分布有差异.基于这些结果得到:射电宁静和射电噪类星体发射线宽度的差异可能是导致它们黑洞质量不同的原因;射电宁静和射电噪类星体本质的不同是由于内秉物理性质的不同造成的;黑洞质量、黑洞自旋、爱丁顿比和寄主星系形态是解释射电噪度起源和双峰状分布的重要参量;射电喷流和盘的吸积率之间具有紧密的关系.  相似文献

斯隆数字巡天光谱数据中发现,类星体SDSS J2220+0109光谱中同时出现如下极为罕见的吸收线:氢巴尔末线Hα和Hβ,亚稳态He I* λλ3889、3189tt,CaⅡH、K,以及来自FeⅡ*能级的波数分别为7 955 cm~(-1)、13 474 cm~(-1)和13 673 cm~(-1)的众多吸收线.上述吸收线具有相似的速度结构,线宽达1 500 km·s~(-1),相对于发射线表现出蓝移.研究结果表明,这些吸收线很可能来自部分电离区,密度n_E≈10~6cm~(-3),柱密度N_(H I)≈10~(21) cm~(-2),Lyα共振散射对氢原子的激发起重要作用.SDSS J2220+0109斯隆r星等为16.56 mag,是探索活动星系核中特殊吸收线起源的理想实验室.将来的紫外光谱观测可以更加准确决定吸收气体的密度、柱密度、电离参数等物理性质;光学光谱监测有助于限定吸收线的产生机制.此外还发现,SDSS J2220+0109中的FeⅡ发射线显著区别于典型的窄线赛弗特Ⅰ型星系ⅠZw 1,很可能来自低密度气体,进一步研究有助于理解类星体中FeⅡ发射线的起源.  相似文献

基于K近邻方法的窄线与宽线活动星系核的自动光谱分类   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
对于美国芝加哥大学等6个组织的斯隆数字化巡天观测(SDSS)的一批低红移活动星系核(AGN)光谱数据,针对宽线AGNs和窄线AGNs发射线的不同特征,在静止系的光谱上截取有效波段范围,采用自动分类的K近邻方法,对其进行分类．宽线和窄线AGNs光谱的主要区别在于Hβ、[OⅢ]、Ha和[NⅡ]等发射线的幅度和半高全宽(FWHM)的大小,所以截取这些发射线所在的波段进行单独或组合的分类实验,实验证明,单独采用以Hα和[NⅡ]发射线为主的波段,分类效果最好,且对于训练样本数和测试样本数分别为1000和3313条的AGNs光谱的单次分类速度可达32．89秒．在充分利用光谱的典型特征的情况下,自动分类方法也可有效地应用于活动星系核的分类,为传统的通过计算发射线的FWHM值或发射线强比对大型光谱巡天所产生的庞大数据库进行分类提供了一种快速直接的分类方法．  相似文献

We present a spectroscopic investigation of an unusual cluster of galaxies that contains galaxies Mrk 261 and 262 which have ultraviolet excess at the same redshift of about 0.03. We also study Mrk 266, which has a peculiar optical morphology and a binary nucleus. The nuclear components in both of these samples show quite similar emission lines in their spectra to Seyfert galaxy activity characteristics. The kinematics and physical properties of the gas in Mrk 266 allow a reliable mass estimate to be made assuming that the characteristic broad emission lines arise from the photoionization of the virialized clouds by the central ionizing nucleus. However, the nuclei masses would be overestimated if the radiation pressure and/or magnetic fields contribute significantly to the dynamics, or if the outflows or winds could cause the observed linewidths to exceed those induced by the nucleus potential alone.  相似文献

Measuring the black hole masses of high-redshift quasars   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
A new technique is presented for determining the black hole masses of high-redshift quasars from optical spectroscopy. The new method utilizes the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of the low-ionization Mg  ii emission line and the correlation between the broad-line region (BLR) radius and the continuum luminosity at 3000 Å. Using archival ultraviolet (UV) spectra it is found that the correlation between BLR radius and 3000-Å luminosity is tighter than the established correlation with 5100-Å luminosity. Furthermore, it is found that the correlation between BLR radius and 3000-Å continuum luminosity is consistent with a relation of the form   R BLR∝λ L 1/2λ  , as expected for a constant ionization parameter. Using a sample of objects with broad-line radii determined from reverberation mapping it is shown that the FWHM of Mg  ii and Hβ are consistent with following an exact one-to-one relation, as expected if both Hβ and Mg  ii are emitted at the same radius from the central ionizing source. The resulting virial black hole mass estimator based on rest-frame UV observables is shown to reproduce black hole mass measurements based on reverberation mapping to within a factor of 2.5 (1σ). Finally, the new UV black hole mass estimator is shown to produce identical results to the established optical (Hβ) estimator when applied to 128 intermediate-redshift  (0.3 < z < 0.9)  quasars drawn from the Large Bright Quasar Survey and the radio-selected Molonglo quasar sample. We therefore conclude that the new UV virial black hole mass estimator can be reliably used to estimate the black hole masses of quasars from   z ∼ 0.25  through to the peak epoch of quasar activity at   z ∼ 2.5  via optical spectroscopy alone.  相似文献

We have investigated the rest-frame optical and far-infrared properties of a sample of extremely bright candidate Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Their high ultraviolet luminosities and lack of strong ultraviolet emission lines are suggestive of massive starbursts, although it is possible that they are more typical luminosity LBGs which have been highly magnified by strong gravitational lensing. Alternatively, they may be an unusual class of weak-lined quasars. If the ultraviolet and submillimetre (submm) properties of these objects mirror those of less luminous, starburst LBGs, then they should have detectable rest-frame far-infrared emission. However, our submm photometry fails to detect such emission, indicating that these systems are not merely scaled-up (either intrinsically or as a result of lensing) examples of typical LBGs. In addition we have searched for the morphological signatures of strong lensing, using high-resolution, near-infrared imaging, but we find none. Instead, near-infrared spectroscopy reveals that these systems are, in fact, a rare class of broad absorption line quasars.  相似文献

We search for a direct signature of discrete 'clouds' in the broad-line region (BLR) of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151. For this purpose we apply cross-correlation (CC) analysis to a high-resolution Keck spectrum of the galaxy. No such signature is found in the data. In order for cloud models to be compatible with this result, there must be at least ∼3×107 emitting clouds in the BLR, where the limit is based on simulation of a homogeneous cloud population. More realistic distributions increase the lower limit to above 108. These numbers are an order-of-magnitude improvement on our previous limit from Mrk 335, where the improvement comes from higher signal-to-noise ratio (S/N), broader lines and refined simulations. Combined with the predicted upper limit for the number of emitting clouds in NGC 4151 (106–107), the derived lower limit puts a strong constraint on the cloud scenario in the BLR of this object. Similar constraints can be placed on models where the emission originates in streams and sheets. Thus, this investigation suggests that the broad emission lines (BELs) in NGC 4151, and by extension in all AGNs, are not made of an ensemble of discrete independent emitters.  相似文献

The sizes of the Broad Line Region (BLR) of some Seyfert 1 galax-ies and nearby quasars can be determined by the reverberation mapping method.Combining with the observed FWHM of Hβ emission line and assuming that themotion of BLR clouds is virialized, the black hole masses of these objects have beenestimated. However, this method strongly depends on the poorly-understood geom-etry and inclination of the BLR. On the other hand, a tight correlation between theblack hole mass and the bulge velocity dispersion was recently found for both activeand nearby inactive galaxies. This may provide another method, independent of theBLR geometry, for estimating the black hole mass. Using this method for estimatingthe black hole mass and combining with the measured BLR size and FWHM of Hβemission line, we derived the BLR inclination angles for 20 Seyfert I galaxies underthe assumption that the BLR is disk-like. The derived inclination angles agree wellwith those derived previously by fitting the UV continuum and Hβ emission lineprofiles. Adopting a relation between the FWHMs of [OⅢ]λ5007 forbidden line andthe stellar velocity dispersion, we also estimated the BLR inclinations for 50 nar-row line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLSls). We found that the inclinations of broad LineSeyfert 1 galaxies (BLS1s) are systematically greater than those of NLS1s, whichseldom exceed 30. This may be an important factor that leads to the differencesbetween NLS1s and BLS1s if the BLR of NLS1s is really disk-like.  相似文献

We announce the discovery of an extended emission-line region associated with a high-redshift type-2 quasi-stellar object (QSO). The halo, which was discovered in our new wide-field narrow-band survey, resides at   z = 2.85  in the Spitzer First Look Survey region and is extended over ∼80 kpc. Deep very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations imply that approximately 50 per cent of the radio emission is extended on scales >200 pc. The inferred active galactic nuclei (AGN) luminosity is sufficient to ionize the extended halo, and the optical emission is consistent with being triggered coevally with the radio source. The Lyα halo is as luminous as those found around high-redshift radio galaxies; however, the active nucleus is several orders of magnitude less luminous at radio wavelengths than those Fanarof–Riley type II (FRIIs) more commonly associated with extended emission-line regions. AMS05 appears to be a high-redshift analogue to the radio-quiet quasar E1821+643 which is core dominated, but which also exhibits extended Fanarof–Riley type I (FRI)-like structure and contains an optically powerful AGN. We also find evidence for more quiescent kinematics in the Lyα emission line in the outer regions of the halo, reminiscent of the haloes around the more powerful FRIIs. The optical to mid-infrared spectral energy distribution is well described by a combination of an obscured QSO  ( L bol∼ 3.4 ± 0.2 × 1013 L⊙)  and a 1.4 Gyr old simple stellar population with mass  ∼3.9 ± 0.3 × 1011 M⊙  .  相似文献

We present both photometry and spectra of the individual images of the quadruple gravitational lens system Q 2237+0305. Comparison of spectra obtained at two epochs, separated by ∼3 yr, shows evidence for significant changes in the emission line-to-continuum ratio of the strong ultraviolet C  IV  λ1549, C  III ] λ1909 and Mg  II  λ2798 lines. The short, ∼1 day, light-travel time differences between the sight lines to the four individual quasar images rule out any explanation based on intrinsic variability of the source. The spectroscopic differences thus represent direct detection of microlensing-induced spectroscopic differences in a quasar. The observations allow constraints to be placed on the relative spatial scales in the nucleus of the quasar, with the ultraviolet continuum arising in a region of ≲0.05 pc in extent, while the broad emission-line material is distributed on scales much greater than this.  相似文献

We present high angular resolution MERLIN observations of the 18-cm OH maser and continuum emission associated with the active core of the ultraluminous infrared galaxy Markarian 273. The continuum emission comes from three distinct regions in the central arcsecond of the galaxy. The brightest region of emission has a double-peaked structure which is spatially coincident with similar structures observed at 6 cm and 2.2 μm. The peak of the OH maser emission is spatially coincident with the peak in the continuum. For the first time the maser emission is spatially resolved, allowing us to measure the gas motion within the central 100 pc of the galaxy. Maser emission is found in both the 1665- and 1667-MHz lines, with no systematic offset found in the spatial locations of the two lines. The brighter component of the maser emission shows ordered motion and is aligned along the axis of the double-peaked structure in the brightest continuum region. The gas motion enables us to estimate the central mass density to be 850±50 M⊙ pc−3, which corresponds to a total mass of ≈1.5×108 M⊙.  相似文献

We present XMM–Newton /EPIC spectra for the Laor et al. sample of Palomar Green (PG) quasars. We find that a power law provides a reasonable fit to the 2–5 keV region of the spectra. Excess soft X-ray emission below 2 keV is present for all objects, with the exception of those known to contain a warm absorber. However, a single power law is a poor fit to the 0.3–10.0 keV spectrum and instead we find that a simple model, consisting of a broken power law (plus an iron line), provides a reasonable fit in most cases. The equivalent width of the emission line is constrained in just 12 objects but with low (<2σ) significance in most cases. For the sources whose spectra are well fitted by the broken-power-law model, we find that various optical and X-ray line and continuum parameters are well correlated; in particular, the power-law photon index is well correlated with the FWHM of the Hβ line and the photon indices of the low- and high-energy components of the broken power law are well correlated with each other. These results suggest that the 0.3–10 keV X-ray emission shares a common (presumably non-thermal) origin, as opposed to suggestions that the soft excess is directly produced by thermal disc emission or via an additional spectral component. We present XMM–Newton Optical Monitor (OM) data, which we combine with the X-ray spectra so as to produce broad-band spectral energy distributions (SEDs), free from uncertainties due to long-term variability in non-simultaneous data. Fitting these optical–UV spectra with a Comptonized disc model indicates that the soft X-ray excess is independent of the accretion disc, confirming our interpretation of the tight correlation between the hard and soft X-ray spectra.  相似文献

The centre of NGC 4151 has been observed in the J band with the SMIRFS integral field unit (IFU) on the UK Infrared Telescope. A map of [Fe  ii ] emission is derived, and compared with the distributions of the optical narrow-line region and radio jet. We conclude that, because the [Fe  ii ] emission is associated more closely with the visible narrow-line region than with the radio jet, it arises mainly through photoionization of gas by collimated X-rays from the Seyfert nucleus. The velocity field and strength with respect to Pa β are found to be consistent with this argument. The performance of the IFU is considered briefly, and techniques for observation and data analysis are discussed.  相似文献
