A Census of Gas Outflows in Type 2 Active Galactic Nuclei | | Hyun-Jin Bae

4 Sep 2014 | | Abstract: | We perform a census of ionized gas outflows using a sample of ~23,000 type 2
active galactic nuclei (AGNs) out to z~0.1. By measuring the velocity offset of
narrow emission lines, i.e., [O III] {lambda}5007 and H{alpha}, with respect
to the systemic velocity measured from the stellar absorption lines, we find
that 47% of AGNs display an [O III] line-of-sight velocity offset $geq$ 20
km/s. The fraction of the [O III] velocity offset in type 2 AGNs is comparable
to that in type 1 AGNs after considering the projection effect. AGNs with a
large [O III] velocity offset preferentially have a high Eddington ratio,
implying that the detected velocity offsets are related to black hole activity.
The distribution of the host galaxy inclination is clearly different between
the AGNs with blueshifted [O III] and the AGNs with redshifted [O III],
supporting the combined model of the biconical outflow and dust obscuration. In
addition, for ~3% of AGNs, [O III] and H{alpha} show comparable large velocity
offsets, indicating a more complex gas kinematics than decelerating outflows in
a stratified narrow-line region. | | Source: | arXiv, 1409.1580 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
