The Formation of Broad Emission Line Regions in Supernova-QSO Wind Interactions II. 2D Calculations

چکیده
One aspect of supernova remnant evolution that is relatively unstudied is the influence of an AGN environment. A high density ambient medium and a nearby powerful continuum source will assist the cooling of shocked ejecta and swept-up gas. Motion of the surrounding medium relative to the remnant will also affect the remnant morphology. In an extension to previous work we have performed 2D hydrodynamical calculations of SNR evolution in an AGN environment, and have determined the evolutionary behaviour of cold gas in the remnant. The cold gas will contribute to the observed broad line emission in AGNs, and we present preliminary theoretical line profiles from our calculations. A more detailed comparison with observations will be performed in future work. The SNR-AGN interaction may be useful as a diagnostic of the AGN wind.

The Formation of Broad Emission Line Regions in Supernova-QSO Wind Interactions
We show that a cooled region of shocked supernova ejecta forms in a type II supernova-QSO wind interaction, and has a density, an ionization parameter, and a column density compatible with those inferred for the high ionization component of the broad emission line regions in QSOs. The calculations are based on the assumption that the ejecta flow is described initially by a similarity solution i...
متن کاملA microlensing measurement of the size of the broad emission line region in the lensed QSO 2237 + 0305
We present spatially resolved spectroscopic images of the gravitationally lensed QSO 2237+0305 taken with the GMOS Integral Field Unit (IFU) on the Gemini North telescope. These observations have the best spatial resolution of any IFU observations of this object to date and include the redshifted C iii] and Mg ii QSO broad lines. Unlike Mediavilla et al. (1998), we find no evidence for an arc o...
متن کاملX-ray Absorption in Type II Quasars: Implications for the Equatorial Paradigm of Broad Absorption Line Quasars
In this article, the hydrogen column densities derived from X-ray observations of type II (hidden) quasars and broad absorption line quasars (BALQSOs) are compared. These column densities represent the amount of absorbing material between the X-ray source and the observer. A sample of type II QSOs with strong narrow emission lines, weak UV continuum and no broad emission lines that also have de...
متن کاملChemical Abundances in Broad Emission Line Regions: The "Nitrogen-loud'' Quasi-Stellar Object Q0353-383
The intensity of the strong N v 1240 line relative to C iv 1549 or to He ii 1640 has been proposed as an indicator of the metallicity of quasi-stellar object (QSO) broad emission line regions, allowing abundance measurements in a large number of QSOs out to the highest redshifts. Previously, it had been shown that the (normally) much weaker lines N iii] 1750 and N iv] 1486 could be used in the ...
متن کاملThe Nature of the Ultraluminous Oxygen-rich Supernova Remnant in Ngc 4449
Optical images and spectra both ground-based and taken by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) of the young, luminous O-rich supernova remnant in the irregular galaxy NGC 4449 are presented. HST images of the remnant and its local region were obtained with the ACS/WFC using filters F435W, F555W, F814W (B, V , and I, respectively), F502N ([O III]), F658N (Hα + [N II]), F660N ([N II]) and F550M (line...
