HSC-XD 52: An X-Ray Detected AGN in a Low-mass Galaxy at z ∼ 0.56
arxiv(2019)
摘要
The properties of low-mass galaxies hosting central black holes provide clues about the formation and evolution of the progenitors of supermassive black holes. In this Letter, we present HSC-XD 52, a spectroscopically confirmed low-mass active galactic nucleus (AGN) at an intermediate redshift of z similar to 0.56. We detect this object as a very luminous X-ray source coincident with a galaxy observed by the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) as part of a broader search for low-mass AGN. We constrain its stellar mass through spectral energy distribution modeling to be LMC-like at Ma(*) approximate to 3 x 10(9) Me-circle dot, placing it in the dwarf regime. We estimate a central black hole mass of M-BH similar to 10(6) Me-circle dot. With an average X-ray luminosity of L-X approximate to 3.5 x 10(43) erg s(-1), HSC-XD 52 is among the most luminous X-ray selected AGN in dwarf galaxies. The spectroscopic and photometric properties of HSC-XD 52 indicate that it is an intermediate-redshift counterpart to local low-mass AGN.
