On the variable nature of low luminosity active galactic nuclei

Authors: Hernández García, Lorena;

On the variable nature of low luminosity active galactic nuclei

Abstract

Los núcleos activos de galaxias (AGN, de sus siglas en inglés) emiten energías del orden de 1044erg s-1 en regiones muy compactas, siendo uno de los fenómenos más energéticos de todo el Universo. Hoy en día, la teoría más aceptada es que este fenómeno es consecuencia de la acreción de materia sobre un agujero negro supermasivo. Esta tesis está centrada en el estudio de la variabilidad del extremo de los AGN de más baja luminosidad (LLAGN), los LINERs (low ionization nuclear emission line regions) y las conocidas galaxias Seyfert. A su vez se compara el comportamiento de ambas familias de AGN. Mientras que los núcleos Seyfert fueron descubiertos en 1943 y se caracterizan porque el núcleo produce líneas espectrales de emisión de gas altamente ionizado, hubo que esperar hasta 1980 para que Heckman descubriese los LINERs y los clasificase como una subcategoría de AGN, cuyos espectros ópticos presentan un estado de ionización más bajo que las Seyfert.

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) emit energies of the order of 1044erg s-1 in very compact regions, being one of the most energetic phenomena in the Universe. Nowadays, the most accepted theory is that this phenomena is consequence of accretion of matter onto a super massive black hole. This thesis is centered on the variability study of the low luminosity AGN (LLAGN), including LINERs (low ionization nuclear emission line regions) and the well known Seyferts. The behaviour of the AGN families are also compared. Whereas Seyfert nuclei were discovered in 1943 and are characterized because their nuclei produce high ionized spectral emission lines, it was not until 1980 that Heckman discovered LINERs and classi ed them as a subclass of AGN, whose optical spectra present a lower ionization state than Seyferts.
