  • ALMA 002 Resolution Observations Reveal HCN-abundance-enhanced Counter-rotating and Outflowing Dense Molecular Gas at the NGC 1068 Nucleus

    • We present ALMA similar to 002 resolution observations of the nucleus of the nearby (similar to 14 Mpc) type 2 active galactic nucleus NGC 1068 at HCN/HCO+/HNCJ = 3-2 lines, as well as at their(13)C isotopologue and vibrationally excited lines, to scrutinize the morphological, dynamical, chemical, and physical properties of dense molecular gas in the putative dusty molecular torus around a mass-accreting supermassive black hole. We confirm almost east-west-oriented dense molecular gas emission both morphologically and dynamically, which we regard as coming from the torus. Bright emission is compact (less than or similar to 3 pc), and low-surface-brightness emission extends out to 5-7 pc. These dense molecular gas properties are not symmetric between the eastern and western torus. The HCNJ = 3-2 emission is stronger than the HCO(+)J = 3-2 emission within the similar to 7 pc torus region, with an estimated dense molecular mass of (0.4-1.0) x 10(6)M. We interpret that HCN abundance is enhanced in the torus. We detect signatures of outflowing dense molecular gas and a vibrationally excited HCNJ = 3-2 line. Finally, we find that in the innermost (less than or similar to 1 pc) part of the torus, the dense molecular line rotation velocity, relative to the systemic velocity, is the opposite of that in the outer (greater than or similar to 2 pc) part, in both the eastern and western torus. We prefer a scenario of counter-rotating dense molecular gas with innermost almost Keplerian rotation and outer slowly rotating (far below Keplerian) components. Our high-spatial-resolution dense molecular line data reveal that torus properties of NGC 1068 are much more complicated than the simple axisymmetrically rotating torus picture in the classical active galactic nucleus unification paradigm.

  • AGN X-Ray Irradiation of CO Gas in NGC 2110 Revealed by Chandra and ALMA
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: Astrophysical Journal. - : American Astronomical Society. - 1538-4357 .- 0004-637X. ; 895:2
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • We report spatial distributions of the Fe-K alpha line at 6.4 keV and the CO(J = 2-1) line at 230.538 GHz in NGC 2110, which are, respectively, revealed by Chandra and Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) at 05. A Chandra 6.2-6.5 keV to 3.0-6.0 keV image suggests that the Fe-K alpha emission extends preferentially in a northwest to southeast direction out to 3 '', or similar to 500 pc, on each side. Spatially resolved spectral analyses support this by finding significant Fe-K alpha emission lines only in the northwest and southeast regions. Moreover, their equivalent widths are found to be similar to 1.5 keV, indicative for the fluorescence by nuclear X-ray irradiation as the physical origin. By contrast, CO(J = 2-1) emission is weak therein. For quantitative discussion, we derive ionization parameters by following an X-ray dominated region (XDR) model. We then find them high enough to interpret the weakness as the result of X-ray dissociation of CO and/or H-2. Another possibility also remains that CO molecules follow a superthermal distribution, resulting in brighter emission in higher-J lines. Further follow-up observations are encouraged to draw a conclusion on what predominantly changes the interstellar matter properties and whether the X-ray irradiation eventually affects the surrounding star formation as active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback.

  • Hard X-Ray Irradiation Potentially Drives Negative AGN Feedback by Altering Molecular Gas Properties
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: Astrophysical Journal, Supplement Series. - : American Astronomical Society. - 1538-4365 .- 0067-0049. ; 257:2

    • To investigate the role of active galactic nucleus (AGN) X-ray irradiation on the interstellar medium (ISM), we systematically analyzed Chandra and Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array CO (J = 2-1) data for 26 hard X-ray (>10 keV) selected AGNs at redshifts below 0.05. While Chandra unveils the distribution of X-ray-irradiated gas via Fe-K alpha emission, the CO (J = 2-1) observations reveal that of cold molecular gas. At high resolutions less than or similar to 1 '', we derive Fe-K alpha and CO (J = 2-1) maps for the nuclear 2 '' region and for the external annular region of 2 ''-4 '', where 2 '' is similar to 100-600 pc for most of our AGNs. First, focusing on the external regions, we find the Fe-K alpha emission for six AGNs above 2 sigma. Their large equivalent widths (greater than or similar to 1 keV) suggest a fluorescent process as their origin. Moreover, by comparing the 6-7 keV/3-6 keV ratio, as a proxy of Fe-K alpha, and CO (J = 2-1) images for three AGNs with the highest significant Fe-K alpha detections, we find a possible spatial separation. These suggest the presence of X-ray-irradiated ISM and the change in the ISM properties. Next, examining the nuclear regions, we find that (1) the 20-50 keV luminosity increases with the CO (J = 2-1) luminosity; (2) the ratio of CO (J = 2-1)/HCN (J = 1-0) luminosities increases with 20-50 keV luminosity, suggesting a decrease in the dense gas fraction with X-ray luminosity; and (3) the Fe-K alpha-to-X-ray continuum luminosity ratio decreases with the molecular gas mass. This may be explained by a negative AGN feedback scenario: the mass accretion rate increases with gas mass, and simultaneously, the AGN evaporates a portion of the gas, which possibly affects star formation.
