3C 120 的长期周期变率与喷流螺旋度:喷流预cession 的可能性

天体物理学 2009-11-10 v1

摘要

讨论 3C 120 的光学变率在喷流预cession 框架下的解释。具体而言,我们假设观察到的长期周期变率是由来自具有随时间变化加速度因子的底部喷流产生的。毫米尺度喷流中不同超光速成分的表观速度差异也可由预cession 模型解释,方法是与观察视角的变化有关。已用于确定喷流成分演化,以拟合预cession 模型参数,这些模型也再现了在大尺度上看到的螺旋结构。 Among the possible mechanisms that could produce jet precession, we consider that 3C 120 harbours a super-massive black hole binary system in its nuclear region and that torques induced by misalignment between the accretion disc and the orbital plane of the secondary black hole are responsible for this precession; we estimated upper and lower limits for the black holes masses and their mean separation. 3C 120 可能驻扎一个超大质量黑洞二进制系统,其核区域的吸积盘与次要黑洞轨道平面之间的错位所产生的扭矩是导致喷流预cession 的原因;我们估算了黑洞质量的上限和下限以及它们的平均间距。
