论文摘要
从哈勃太空望远镜/宇宙起源光谱仪光谱光谱中,检测到16个流出。对于11个流出,我们能够将它们的距离限制为中心来源(R)及其能量学。在相同流出的多个电子数密度确定(用于R的计算中)的实例中,这些值在误差中是一致的。对于11个流出,有8个对R的测量值(在10到1000 pc之间),一个具有下限,另一个具有上限,最后一个有范围。有两个流出的流出,具有足够的动力学光度,可以成为主动银河核反馈的主要贡献者。流出的质量主要是在非常高昂的阶段中发现的,该阶段是使用Ne VIII,Na IX,Mg X和Si XII的槽进行探测的。这样的离子将这些紫外线流出的物理条件连接到附近Seyfert星系中看到的X射线温暖吸收器流出。第一次检测到了离子Cl VII和NE V的几个新过渡。
From Hubble Space Telescope/Cosmic Origins Spectrograph spectra of five quasars, 16 outflows are detected. For 11 outflows, we are able to constrain their distances to the central source (R) and their energetics. In instances of multiple electron number density determinations (used in the calculation of R) for the same outflow, the values are consistent within errors. For the 11 outflows, eight have measurements for R (between 10 and 1000 pc), one has a lower limit, another has an upper limit, and the last has a range in R. There are two outflows that have enough kinetic luminosity to be major contributors to active galactic nucleus feedback. The outflowing mass is found primarily in a very high-ionization phase, which is probed using troughs from, e.g., Ne VIII, Na IX, Mg X, and Si XII. Such ions connect the physical conditions of these ultraviolet outflows to the X-ray warm absorber outflows seen in nearby Seyfert galaxies. The ion Cl VII and several new transitions from Ne V have been detected for the first time.
