| 1 | Study of Central Intensity Ratio of Seyfert Galaxies in Nearby Universe显示文摘We use the recently discovered simple photometric parameter Central Intensity Ratio(CIR)determined for a sample of 57 nearby(z<0.02)Seyfert galaxies to explore the central features of galaxies and their possible connection with galaxy evolution.The sample of galaxies shows strong anti-correlation between CIR and mass of their central supermassive black holes(SMBHs).The SMBH masses of ellipticals are systematically higher for a given CIR value than those for lenticulars and spirals in the sample.However,the correlation between CIR and central velocity dispersion is weak.CIR appears less influenced by the excess flux produced by the central engine in these galaxies,when compared to spectroscopic parameters like velocity dispersion and OⅣflux,and proves to be a fast and reliable tool for estimating central SMBH mass. | K.T.Vinod C.Baheeja S.Aswathy C.D.Ravikumar | 2023 | Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics2023，23，4： | 0 |
| 2 | Co-evolution of nuclear rings,bars and the central intensity ratio of their host galaxies显示文摘Using a sample of 13 early-type spiral galaxies hosting nuclear rings,we report remarkable correlations between the properties of the nuclear rings and the central intensity ratio(CIR) of their host galaxies.The CIR,a function of intensity of light within the central 1.5 and 3 arcsec region,is found to be a vital parameter in galaxy evolution,as it shares strong correlations with many structural and dynamical properties of early-type galaxies,including mass of the central supermassive black hole(SMBH).We use archival HST images for aperture photometry at the centre of the galaxy image to compute the CIR.We observe that the relative sizes of nuclear rings and ring cluster surface densities strongly correlate with the CIR.These correlations suggest reduced star formation in the centres of galaxies hosting small and dense nuclear rings.This scenario appears to be a consequence of strong bars as advocated by the significant connection observed between the CIR and bar strengths.In addition,we observe that the CIR is closely related with the integrated properties of the stellar population in the nuclear rings,associating the rings hosting older and less massive star clusters with low values of CIR.Thus,the CIR can serve as a crucial parameter in unfolding the coupled evolution of bars and rings as it is intimately connected with both their properties. | S.Aswathy C.D.Ravikumar | 2020 | Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics2020，20，2： | 0 |
| 3 | Long term optical variability of bright X-ray point sources in elliptical galaxies显示文摘We present long term optical variability studies of bright X-ray sources in four nearby elliptical galaxies with the Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer array(ACIS-S) and observations from the Hubble Space Telescope(HST) Advanced Camera for Surveys.Out of the 46 bright(X-ray counts > 60)sources that are in the common field of view of the Chandra and HST observations,34 of them have potential optical counterparts,while the rest of them are optically dark.After taking into account systematic errors,estimated using optical sources in the field as a reference,we find that four of the X-ray sources(three in NGC 1399 and one in NGC 1427) have variable optical counterparts at a high level of significance.The X-ray luminosities of these sources are ~ 10^(38) erg s^(-1) and are also variable on similar time scales.The optical variability implies that the optical emission is associated with the X-ray source itself rather than being the integrated light from a host globular cluster.For one source,the change in optical magnitude is > 0.3,which is one of the highest reported for this class of X-ray sources and this suggests that the optical variability is induced by the X-ray activity.However,the optically variable sources in NGC 1399 have been reported to have blue colors(g- z > 1).All four sources have been detected in the infrared(IR) by Spitzer as point sources,and their ratios of 5.8 to 3.6 μm flux are > 0.63,indicating that their IR spectra are like those of Active Galactic Nuclei(AGNs).While spectroscopic confirmation is required,it is likely that all four sources are background AGNs.We find none of the X-ray sources having optical/IR colors different from AGNs to be optically variable. | V.Jithesh Ranjeev Misra P.Shalima K.Jeena C.D.Ravikumar B.R.S.Babu | 2014 | Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics2014，14，10： | 0 |
