Galaxias espirales de núcleos activos: efecto de las barras en la actividad nuclear

En este trabajo se analizan galaxias espirales barreadas con núcleos activos (AGN), con el propósito de realizar estudios estadísticos acerca del efecto que pudiesen producir las barras sobre la actividad de los agujeros negros centrales. Para tal fin, construimos una muestra de galaxias AGN con barras, clasificadas por medio de inspección visual, a partir del séptimo relevamiento de Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-DR7). Además, se obtuvo una muestra de galaxias espirales AGN no-barreadas, con similares distribuciones de corrimiento al rojo, luminosidad y masa en estrellas que las galaxias AGN barreadas. Se presentan resultados preliminares del efecto de las barras sobre la actividad nuclear central, explorando diferentes propiedades de las galaxias espirales barreadas huéspedes de AGN, en comparación con su contraparte de galaxias no-barreadas.In this work we analyze barred active galactic nuclei galaxies (AGN), in order to study the effect produced by the bars on the central black hole activity. We construct a sample of AGN galaxies with bars, classified by visual inspection, from the seventh release of Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-DR7). In addition, we construct a non-barred AGN galaxy sample with similar redshift distributions, luminosity and mass in stars than barred AGN galaxies. We present preliminary results of the effect of bars on the central nuclear activity, exploring different properties of barred spiral AGN galaxies, compared to its counterpart in non-barred galaxies.Fil: Alonso Giraldes, Maria Sol.

AGN spiral galaxies in groups: effects of bars

AIMS: We explore properties of barred active spiral galaxies in groups and clusters selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey data release 7 (SDSS-DR7), with the aim of assessing the effects of bars on active galactic nuclei (AGN) and the role of the high density environment. METHODS: We identified barred active galaxies that reside in groups and clusters by cross-correlating the total barred AGN sample with the SDSS-DR7 group catalog. With the goal of providing a suitable quantification of the effects of bars, a reliable control sample of unbarred active galaxies in high density environments with similar redshift, magnitude, morphology, and bulge size distributions was also constructed. RESULTS: We found that the fraction of barred AGN galaxies in groups and clusters (≈38%) is higher than those in the total barred AGN sample (≈28%), indicating that AGN spiral galaxies in groups are more likely to be barred than those in the field. We also found that barred AGN galaxies are more concentrated towards the group centers than the other unbarred AGN group members. In addition, barred AGN host galaxies show an excess of population dominated by red colors, with respect to the control sample, suggesting that bars produce an important effect on galaxy colors of AGN hosts. The groups of AGN galaxies with and without bars show similar virial masses; however, the host groups of the barred AGN exhibit a larger fraction of red colors than the host groups of the corresponding unbarred active galaxies in the control sample. Color-magnitude relations of both host groups of AGN differ significantly: the host group colors of barred active galaxies display distributions spreading toward red populations, at the same (Mr)Group, with respect to the host groups of the unbarred AGN objects. This trend is more significant in less massive groups than in groups with MVirial> 1013.5M⊙. Barred active galaxies show an excess of nuclear activity compared to galaxies without bars in the control sample. We found that barred active galaxies located farther from the group-center have stronger Lum[OIII], while the nuclear activity in AGN galaxies without bars remain approximately constant with the group-centric distance. In addition, for both AGN samples, nuclear activity increases in bluer host groups however, barred active objects systematically show higher Lum[OIII] values, irrespective of the global group colors. Our findings suggest that the efficiency of bars to transport material towards the more central regions of the AGN galaxies in high density environments reveals an important dependence on the localization of objects within the group/cluster and on the host group colors.Fil: Alonso Giraldes, Maria Sol.

Effect of bars on the galaxy properties

Aims. With the aim of assessing the effects of bars on disk galaxy properties, we present an analysis of different characteristics of spiral galaxies with strong bars, weak bars and without bars. Methods. Weidentified barred galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). By visual inspection of SDSS images we classified the face-on spiral galaxies brighter than g < 16.5 mag into strong-bar, weak-bar, and unbarred galaxies. With the goal of providing an appropriate quantification of the influence of bars on galaxy properties, we also constructed a suitable control sample of unbarred galaxies with similar redshifts, magnitudes, morphology, bulge sizes, and local density environment distributions to those of barred galaxies. Results. We found 522 strong-barred and 770 weak-barred galaxies; this represents a bar fraction of 25.82% with respect to the full sample of spiral galaxies, in good agreement with several previous studies. We also found that strong-barred galaxies show lower efficiency in star formation activity and older stellar populations (as derived with the Dn(4000) spectral index) with respect to weakbarred and unbarred spirals from the control sample. In addition, there is a significant excess of strong-barred galaxies with red colors. The color-color and color–magnitude diagrams show that unbarred and weak-barred galaxies are more extended towards the blue zone, while strong-barred disk objects are mostly grouped in the red region. Strong-barred galaxies present an important excess of high metallicity values compared to unbarred and weak-barred disk objects, which show similar 12 + log(O/H) distributions. Regarding the mass-metallicity relation, we found that weak-barred and unbarred galaxies are fitted by similar curves, while strongbarred ones show a curve that falls abruptly with more significance in the range of low stellar masses (log(M∗/M) < 10.0). These results would indicate that prominent bars produced an accelerating effect on the gas processing, reflected in the significant changes in the physical properties of the host galaxies.Fil: Vera Rueda, Gustavo Matías.

Grupos de galaxias: dependencia de las propiedades de sus galaxias miembros con la emisión en radio

We present a study of the observational properties of Galaxies in Groups and its AGN host galaxies. We analyze the characteristics of the emision from the host AGN galaxies, both in the optical region as in the radio frecuencies, and its relation with their environment. In order to make these studies, the information from AGN associated with galaxy clusters has been correlated to the FIRST radio survey. In this correlation we analyze the parameters of these galaxies: luminosity, morphology, stellar mass, stellar age, etc.Fil: Nieto, L.. Universidad Nacional de Córdoba.

On the relation between Seyfert 2 accretion rate and environment at z < 0.1

We analyse different properties of the small-scale environment of Seyfert 2 for two samples selected according to the accretion rate parameter, R, from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, Data Release 7 survey. We compare the results with two control samples of non-active galaxies that cover the same redshift range, luminosity, colours, morphology, age and stellar mass content. Our study shows that both high and low accretion rate subsamples reside in bluer and lower density environments than the control samples. However, we find that this difference is at least two times stronger for the low accretion rate Seyferts. In the vicinity of Seyfert 2, red galaxies have systematically lower values of stellar mass as compared with corresponding control samples. The lower values of stellar mass for red neighbours is more significant at higher density environments and it is more evident for low accretion rate Seyfert. We also find that this effect is independent of the host's stellar mass. Our results are consistent with a scenario where active galactic nucleus occurrence is higher in lower/medium density environments with a higher merger rate and a lack of a dense intergalactic medium (that can strip gas from these systems) that provide suitable conditions for the central black hole feeding. We find this particularly evident for the low accretion rate Seyferts that could compensate through the intergalactic medium the lack of gas of their hosts.Fil: Coldwell Lloveras, Georgina Vanesa.

Occurrence of LINER galaxies within the galaxy group environment

We study the properties of a sample of 3967 low-ionization nuclear emission-line region (LINER) galaxies selected from SDSS-DR7, with respect to their proximity to galaxy groups. The host galaxies of LINERs have been analysed and compared with a well-defined control sample of 3841 non-LINER galaxies matched in redshift, luminosity, colour, morphology, age and stellar mass content. We find no difference between LINER and control galaxies in terms of the colour and age of stellar population as a function of the virial mass and distance to the geometric centre of the group. However, we find that LINERs are more likely to populate low-density environments in spite of their morphology, which is typical of high-density regions such as rich galaxy clusters. For rich (poor) galaxy groups, the occurrence of LINERs is approximately two times lower (higher) than the occurrence of matched, non-LINER galaxies. Moreover, LINER hosts do not seem to follow the expected morphology–density relation in groups of high virial mass. The high frequency of LINERs in low-density regions could be due to the combination of a sufficient gas reservoir to power the low-ionization emission and/or enhanced galaxy interaction rates benefiting the gas flow towards their central regions.Fil: Coldwell Lloveras, Georgina Vanesa.

LINER galaxy properties and the local environment

We analyse the properties of a sample of 5560 low-ionization nuclear emission-line region (LINER) galaxies selected from SDSS-DR12 at lowred shift, for a complete range of local density environments. The host LINER galaxies were studied and compared with a well-defined control sample of 5553 non-LINER galaxies matched in red shift, luminosity, morphology and local density. By studying the distributions of galaxy colours and the stellar age population, we find that LINERs are redder and older than the control sample over a wide range of densities. In addition, LINERs are older than the control sample, at a given galaxy colour, indicating that some external process could have accelerated the evolution of the stellar population. The analysis of the host properties shows that the control sample exhibits a strong relation between colours, ages and the local density, while more than 90 per cent of the LINERs are redder and older than the mean values, independently of the neighbourhood density. Furthermore, a detailed study in three local density ranges shows that, while control sample galaxies are redder and older as a function of stellar mass and density, LINER galaxies mismatch the known morphology-density relation of galaxies without low-ionization features. The results support the contribution of hot and old stars to the low-ionization emission although the contribution of nuclear activity is not discarded.Fil: Coldwell Lloveras, Georgina Vanesa.

Satellites and central galaxies in SDSS: The influence of interactions on their properties

We use SDSS-DR14 to construct a sample of galaxy systems consisting of a central object and two satellites. We adopt projected distance and radial velocity difference criteria and impose an isolation criterion to avoid membership in larger structures. We also classify the interaction between the members of each system through a visual inspection of galaxy images, finding ${sim}80{{ m per cent}}$ of the systems lack evidence of interactions whilst the remaining ${sim}20{{ m per cent}}$ involve some kind of interaction, as inferred from their observed distorted morphology. We have considered separately, samples of satellites and central galaxies, and each of these samples were tested against suitable control sets to analyse the results. We find that central galaxies showing signs of interactions present evidence of enhanced star formation activity and younger stellar populations. As a counterpart, satellite samples show these galaxies presenting older stellar populations with a lower star formation rate than the control sample. The observed trends correlate with the stellar mass content of the galaxies and with the projected distance between the members involved in the interaction. The most massive systems are less affected since they show no star formation excess, possibly due to their more evolved stage and less gas available to form new stars. Our results suggest that it is arguably a transfer of material during interactions, with satellites acting as donors to the central galaxy. As a consequence of the interactions, satellite stellar population ages rapidly and new bursts of star formation may frequently occur in the central galaxy.Fil: Mesa, Valeria Alejandra.

Interacting galaxies: corotating and counter-rotating systems with tidal tails

We analyse interacting galaxy pairs with evidence of tidal features in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7. The pairs were selected within z < 0.1 by requiring a projected separation rp < 50 h− 1 kpc and relative radial velocity ΔV < 500 km s−1. We complete spectroscopic pairs using galaxies with photometric redshifts considering ΔVphot < 6800 km s−1, taking into account the mean photometric redshift uncertainty. We classify by visual inspection pairs of spirals into corotating and counter-rotating systems. For a subsample of non-active galactic nucleus (non-AGN) galaxies, counter-rotating pairs have larger star formation rates and a higher fraction of young, star-forming galaxies. These effects are enhanced by restricting to rp < 12 h− 1 kpc. The distributions of C, Dn(4000) and (Mu − Mr) for AGN galaxies show that counter-rotating hosts have bluer colours and younger stellar population than the corotating galaxies although the relative fractions of Seyfert, LINER, Composite and Ambiguous AGN are similar. Also, counter-rotating hosts have more powerful AGN as revealed by enhanced Lum[O III] values. The number of corotating systems is approximately twice the number of counter-rotating pairs which could be owed to a more rapid evolution of counter-rotating systems, besides possible different initial conditions of these interacting pairs.Fil: Mesa, Valeria Alejandra.

The impact of bars and interactions on optically selected AGNs in spiral galaxies

Aims. With the aim of performing a suitable comparison of the internal process of galactic bars with respect to the external effect of interactions on driving gas toward the inner most region of the galaxies, we explored and compared the efficiency of both mechanisms on central nuclear activity in optically selected active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in spiral galaxies. Methods. We selected homogeneous samples of barred AGNs and active objects residing in pair systems, derived from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). In order to carry out a reliable comparison of both samples (AGNs in barred hosts in isolation and in galaxy pairs), we selected spiral AGN galaxies with similar distributions of redshift, magnitude, stellar mass, color and stellar age population from both catalogs. With the goal of providing an appropriate quantification of the influence of strong bars and interactions on nuclear activity, we also constructed a suitable control sample of unbarred spiral AGNs without a companion and with similar host properties to the other two samples. Results. We found that barred optically selected AGNs show an excess of nuclear activity (as derived from the Lum[OIII]) and accretion rate onto a central black hole () with respect to AGNs in pairs. In addition, both samples show an excess of high values of Lum[OIII] and with respect to unbarred AGNs in the control sample. We also found that the fractions of AGNs with powerful nuclear activity and high accretion rates increase toward more massive hosts with bluer colors and younger stellar populations. Moreover, AGNs with bars exhibit a higher fraction of galaxies with powerful Lum[OIII] and efficient with respect to AGN galaxies inhabiting pair systems, in bins of different galaxy properties. Regarding AGNs belonging to pair systems, we found that the central nuclear activity is remarkably dependent on the galaxy pair companion features. The Lum[OIII] for AGNs in pairs is clearly enhanced when the galaxy companion exhibits a bright and more massive host with high metallicity, blue color, efficient star formation activity and young stellar population. The results of this work reveal an important capacity of both mechanisms, bars and interactions, to transport material towards the galaxy central regions. In this context, it should also be noted that the internal process of the bar is more efficient at improving the central nuclear activity in AGN objects than that corresponding to the external mechanism of the galaxy-galaxy interactions.Fil: Alonso Giraldes, Maria Sol.
