CHINA-AO 2012 三峡大学,宜昌 类星体的高分辨成像(AO)观测及其科学目标 王益萍 国家天文台 合作者: T. Yamada, I. Tanaka, M. Iye, T. Misawa, Y.Minowa ,纪拓, 田海俊, 陈燕梅等
摘要 1)高空间分辨率成像技术对天文研究的影响 2)自适应光学系统(AO)简介 3)类星体高分辨成像观测(AO)的科学目标 a)类星体吸收线物理对应体的论证 b)高红移类星体母星系的观测研究 4)先遣观测结果和分析
高分辨成像在天文研究上的主要应用: • 1) Planetary science:- asteroid surfaces, satellite surfaces, asteroidal moon, moons of giant planets…. • 2) Solar physics:- fine structures and various solar phenomena…. • 3) Stellar astronomy:- young binary stars, stellar clusters, circumstellar disks, embedded clusters et al. • Faint companions:- very faint companions to nearby stars, brown dwarf etc. • 5) Galactic and extragalactic:- QSO host galaxies, QAL host galaxies, companion galaxies, morphology, interacting galaxies, the cores of nearby galaxies, Galactic center…
影响天文成像质量的几大因素 • 1)望远镜本身: 光学系统, CCD et al. • 2) 大气视宁度 (seeing) 大气湍流:1)星象抖动,星光闪烁; 2)星象模糊 从而降低了望远镜的分辨本领和极限星等

1) QSO aborption line systems Gas containing neutral Hydrogen, heavy elements (C, Si, Mg et al.) • High-z QSO is easy to detect; • QSO is bright, so absorbers in front of them can be studied • in detail through absorption lines + deep imaging.
LL Systems are a class of QAL system. They are defined to be optically thick at the Lyman Limit, which generally implies N(HI)> 10^17 cm^-2. They all show metals.
Why high-z LLS sample ? 1)适时性: Massive disk galaxy at high-z, Collapse? Merger? Cold stream? 2)重要性: Good place to study gas cycling during intensive galaxy formation epoch (z~3) 3)可行性: AO等高分辨成像技术 +地面大望远镜 Fumagalli et al. 2012

2) 类星体母星系的观测,MBH –Lhost relation 星系合并触发核区星暴和中心黑洞增长的演化模型 Wang & Biermann 1998; Wang & Biermann 2000; Wang et al. 2000; Wang et al. 2003, 2004 研究背景: 模型和研究方法: 主要结果: 星系合并—中心星暴/黑洞增长--早型星系/AGN中的“黑洞/核球”线性相关性 巨黑洞哪来的? 原料提供机制 统计 上的 意义 1)黑洞和母星系核球是共同演化的; 2)中心星暴和AGN有一定的相关性。 3) 星系合并是触发核区剧烈星暴和巨黑洞形成的有效机制。 高红移处还成立吗? (Kormendy and Richstone 1995)
模型的观测检验: • BH mass measurements • i) Keplerian rotation (inactive galaxies) • Water maser • Hbeta, MgII et al. • Reveberation mapping • Variability of AGNs…………. • 2) Host galaxy properties • i) space observation • ii) AO imaging

选源条件(IRCS+AO): • Guide star : R<18, best R=10-16 • Distance of separation: D<30” • PSF calibration star: close enough to the QSO, similar magnitude, similar guide star distance, similar direction to the guide star ………... • Emission lines Ha, Hb, OII, OIII should be avoided in the observing bands.
