Research Abstract

本研究は、国際宇宙ステーションに搭載された全天X線監視装置MAXIを用いて、全天の活動銀河核(AGN)の無バイアス連続観測を行い、そのデータにX線変動質量推定法を適用することで、明るい約40個のAGNの中心巨大ブラックホールの質量を推定するものである。まずMAXI装置を適切な状態で運用し、それからMAXIの観測データを整約して、X線変動質量推定法と、他の質量推定方法(Magorrian関係など)との推定ブラックホール質量の比較を行う。求められたブラックホール質量の、QSOなどの天体種類別の分布、X線のHigh/Lowスペクトル状態と光度の関係などについて議論を行う。
