宽线与窄线赛弗特1型星系的长期中红外光变比较

The Comparison of Long-term Mid-infrared Variability between Broad-line and Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Galaxies

  • 摘要: 利用广域红外巡天探测器(Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, WISE)的档案数据比较了宽线赛弗特1型(Broad-line Seyfert 1, BLSy1)星系和窄线赛弗特1型(Narrow-line Seyfert 1, NLSy1)星系的长期中红外光变幅度. 此外还分析了长期中红外光变幅度与常见活动星系核参数的相关性, 使用的样本有BLSy1星系、NLSy1星系、BLSy1与NLSy1星系的合并样本. 主要结果如下: (1) BLSy1星系的长期中红外光变幅度大于NLSy1星系, 可能是因为BLSy1与NLSy1星系的吸积盘结构不同. 根据长期中红外光变幅度与常见活动星系核参数的相关性分析结果, BLSy1星系的长期中红外光变幅度大于NLSy1星系也可能主要由于BLSy1与NLSy1星系的爱丁顿比(Eddington ratio)大小不同. (2) BLSy1星系、NLSy1星系和合并样本的长期中红外光变幅度都与5100 Å光度、爱丁顿比、FeII发射线强度成显著的负相关. NLSy1星系的长期中红外光变幅度与OIII \lambda 5007发射线强度成显著正相关.

     

    Abstract: The long-term mid-infrared variability amplitude of Broad-line Seyfert 1 (BLSy1) galaxies and Narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) galaxies were compared using archival data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). Additionally, the correlation between the long-term mid-infrared variability amplitude and common active galactic nucleus parameters was analyzed, using samples that included BLSy1 galaxies, NLSy1 galaxies, and a combined sample of both BLSy1 and NLSy1 galaxies. The main results are as follows: (1) The long-term mid-infrared variability amplitude of BLSy1 galaxies is greater than that of NLSy1 galaxies possibly due to differences in the accretion disk structure between BLSy1 and NLSy1 galaxies. Correlation analysis suggests that the larger long-term mid-infrared variability amplitude in BLSy1 galaxies compared to NLSy1 galaxies may be mainly attributed to differences in Eddington ratio between the two types of galaxies. (2) The long-term mid-infrared variability amplitudes of BLSy1 galaxies, NLSy1 galaxies, and the combined sample are significantly negatively correlated with the 5100 Å luminosity, Eddington ratio and FeII emission line strength. The long-term mid-infrared variability amplitude of NLSy1 galaxies is significantly positively correlated with the OIII \lambda 5007 emission line strength.
