I.Mol. Gas in Active Galaxies

✦ compact molecular gas at the active center (R<1kpc)

✦ unified model predicts an obscuring torus [AGN] ✦ many molecular lines (CO,HCN,HCO+,CS...)

have been detected in numbers of galaxies

✦ Three(+) reasons for study molecular ISM

  • 1. Formation & Evolution of Galaxies

✦ molecular gas as star formation site

Large scale structure → (???) → present star formation (GMC, mol.core, YSO)

  • 2. Chemical & Thermal evolution of Molecular Gas in Extreme

Environments【Astrochemistry viewpoint】

✦ Do mol. gas in active galaxies have peculiar character compared with normal

galaxies?

  • 3. As the Energy Budget of Active Galaxies

✦ AGN v.s. starburst ? which dominates the energy source??

Current Observations of Nuclear Mol. gas

ISM is in general very inhomogeneous & multi-phase in nature

Current mm./submm. obs found “compact cores” at the centers of active galaxies

typical size of a “compact core”~ 500pc - 1kpc : is it really a single entity? NO!!

non-local rad. coupling would take place (e.g. GC)

Physics of ISM : lines as a toolbox

interpreting data sets of Iν in terms

  • f Tkin, n, y(=nmol/nH), v is not

straightforward

line RT can form a toolbox to decipher tangled “riddles” printed in observed line data cube

  • bs.: data cube(x, y, ν)

My dear Watson, circumstance evidence is a very tricky thing... and there is nothing more deceptive than an “obvious fact”.

evolution of rotating gas in gravitational potential of SMBH and halo

radiative cooling and SNe heating feedback are included

20K<T<1000K, nH< 2x106 cm-3 , Δv~50km/s

torus is globally quasi-steady(Wada&Norman)

✦ Radiative Transfer: [ray tracing with long characteristics method]

non-LTE level population up to J=10 for each grid

assume uniform chemical abundance distribution 【to examine chemistry & clumpiness separately】

  • III. Results : Intensity Distribution

✦ Intensity distributions look quite alike of similar strength

HCN/HCO+ rotational lines : B(rotational constant) & μ(electric dipole moment) are almost identical for both molecules

✦ HCN(1-0) and HCO+(1-0) lines display clumpy distribution,

reflecting the inhomogeneous structure of AGN mol. torus

non-LTE effects: Optical Depth & Intensity

✦ Distributions of NH, integrated intensity, and

  • ptical thickness τ0

good correlation between NH & Intensity, but not with τ0

✦ nonLTE nJ(Tkin, nH) in clumpy torus generates a

dispersion of αν →τ0-NH relation widen as the dispersion of αν(including

negative αν due to pop. inversion)

LVG analysis cannot reasonably reproduce (Tb, NH, τ0)

Excitation Temperature Distribution

✦ increment of y(abundance) raises the emission rate (jij=hνij Aij・ni, ni∝y*nH2)

average torus temperature <Tkin>=174K >> T10 ~4.5K

emission from torus stronger than CMB leads to high Tex & weak overshoot

✦ photon trapping(β) : lowers effective ncirt (Tex[thin] is shift to lower nH2)

in our simulation, <τ0>≈O(1) and β≦1 (→ minor effect compared with the former) T=10K, 30K, 100K, 200K, 1,000K(light color lines for low T)

non-LTE effects: Optical Depth & Intensity

✦ highly clumpy torus → NH is composed of

1. tenuous gas encompasses the large scale height 2. dense clump + small amount of tenuous ambient Both of 1, 2 are OK

✦ intensity become strong if dense (Λ∝n2)

RHCN/HCO+>2 is observed in a number of galaxies, but results of rad. transfer suggest “RHCN/HCO+ =1 ceiling”

In order to obtain RHCN/HCO+~2:

✦ HCN should be much abundant than HCO+

↑↓

✦ XDR/PDR models (yHCN<yHCO+ in XDR)

  • V. High-J Lines in inhomogeneous ISM

✦ Multi-level analysis → way to evaluate precise (Tkin, n)

“high density tracer” is necessary to reveal density structure

✦ Increasing # of obs. of high-J lines have found variation in R43/10 & possible

  • V. HCN R43/10

✦ average ratio takes a value around 1 ⇔ peak-to-peak ratio >1 ✦ difference between (a)&(b)→clumpiness inside ✦ as y increases, R43/10 decreases below 1 ✦ one-zone analysis suggests R43/10->1 as tau increases ??

Multi-phase nature should be taken into account

Current Summary of R43/10 in Uniform y Runs

✦ R43/10 in clumpy torus shows different values from one-zone ISM

☆combination of clumpiness, inhomogeneous Tex & τ0 affects R43/10 ☆volume filling factor of dense clumps may tune R43/10 even without chemical abundance distribution Q: How should we infer physical properties of inhomogeneous ISM by high-J line ratio???

Summary

✦ Line transfer simulation as a toolbox to probe ISM

interpretation of current observations & preparation for forthcoming telescopes

  • - direct comparison with models & observations available

3D - more and more realistic than previous studies

✦ Results I : HCN/HCO+ diagnostics

clumpy molecular torus - complicated excitation → ALMA era

interpretation still controversial for AGN/starburst connection

✦ Results II : R43/10 of HCN (dense gas tracer)

multi-phase ISM nature should be taken into account [vol. filling factor⇔beam filling facor]

isothermal 2-phase modelling seems to capture clumpiness effect on high-J line ratio

✦ Future :

easy to apply for pseudo-observations like imaging simulations

Not a tool, but (astro)Physics!
