A New Water Vapor Megamaser
We report on the detection of a new megamaser, the 31, 3–22, 0 H2O line ( GHz) in Arp 220, using n p 183.310 0 the Institut de Radioastronomie Millimétrique (IRAM) 30 m telescope. The line is about 350 km s 1 wide with a total luminosity of ∼2.5 # 10 K km s 1 pc. Although OH megamasers were first discovered in this source, no emission is seen in the 61, 6–52, 3 H2O transition ( GHz), a line oth...
متن کاملDiscovery of Water Vapor Megamaser Emission from Mrk 1419 (ngc 2960): an Analogue of Ngc 4258?
Water vapor emission at 22GHz is reported from the nucleus of the LINER galaxy Mrk 1419 (NGC 2960). Single-dish spectra of the maser source show properties that are similar to those seen in NGC4258, namely (1) a cluster of systemic (V∼Vsys) H2O features, (2) two additional H2O clusters, one redand one blue-shifted with respect to Vsys, (3) a likely acceleration of the systemic features (dV /dt ...
متن کاملPowerful Water Masers in Active Galactic Nuclei
Luminous water maser emission in the 616 − 523 line at 22 GHz has been detected from two dozen galaxies. In all cases the emission is confined to the nucleus and has been found only in AGN, in particular, in Type 2 Seyferts and LINERs. I argue that most of the observed megamaser sources are powered by X-ray irradiation of dense gas by the central engine. After briefly reviewing the physics of t...
متن کاملActive Galactic Nuclei in the CNOC2 Field Galaxy Redshift Survey
We present a sample of 47 confirmed and 14 candidate Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) discovered in the Canadian Network for Observational Cosmology field galaxy redshift survey (CNOC2). The sample consists of 38 objects identified from broad emission lines, 8 from narrow [Nev] emission, and 15 candidates from Fe ii or Mg ii absorption lines, one of which has been confirmed as a broad-line AGN via ...
متن کاملObscured Active Galactic Nuclei
The properties of the absorption in type 2, narrow line AGNs are reviewed by focusing on the X-ray indicators. I discuss the properties of the cold absorbing medium (the putative torus) and of the reprocessed components, as well as their implications for the unified model. The relation between optical classification and X-ray absorption is examined. The case of “fossil” AGNs, whose type 2 class...
