ABSTRACT

The main purpose of this study is to gain insight into physics of the

continuum spectrum of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) using a large data set and

rigorous statistical methods.

selected AGNs, BL Lac objects and optically unidentified compact radio

sources have extended components, we carefully select out the core component

from the total radio luminosity. With 'survival analysis' statistical

methods, which can treat upper limits correctly, these data can yield better

statistical results than those previously obtained.

A variety of statistical tests are preformed, such as the comparison of

the luminosity functions in different subsmples, and linear regressions of

luminosities in different bands. Interpretation of the results leads to the

following tentative conclusions: (1) The main emission mechanism of optically

selected quasars and X-ray selected AGNs is thermal, while that of BL Lac

objects is synchrotron; ( 2 ) radio selected quasars may have two different

emission mechanisms in the X-ray band; ( 3 ) BL Lac objects appear to be special

cases of the radio selected quasars; ( 4 ) some compact radio sources show the

possibility of SSC in the optical band; and (5) the spectral index between the

optical and the X-ray bands depends on the optical luminosity.

I. INTRODUCTION

One of the most important problems in the studies of active galactic

nuclei (AGNs) is understanding the mechanisms of underlying continuum

emission. Although there are already very many observations of AGNs across

the whole range of spectrum, and the knowledge of properties of AGNs has been

improving considerably, we still do not understand the fundamental emission

mechanisms.

combinations of several mechanisms, including both thermal and non-thermal

processes.

radiation. For some objects like BL Lac objects, the synchrotron spectrum

clearly extends to optical region and perhaps to the X-ray band. On the other

hand, most of optically selected quasars do not show radio emission and have

unpolarized continua.

bumps that are not well understood.

combinations of unpolarized synchrotron, bremsstrahlung from an accretion

disk, dust emission, stellar photospheric emission, or Compton scattering by

thermal or non-thermal electrons; In the X-ray band, synchrotron self-Compton

(SSC) is one of the more popular models, though multi-temperature

bremsstruhlung is also probable.

The continuum emission spectrum distributions probably arise from

The radio emission is thought to be incoherent synchrotron

The infrared to ultraviolet regions often have spectral

Since the Einstein Observatory has provided high quality X-ray

observations, statistical studies of AGN continua are flourishing (Ku,

et al. 1985; Franceschini, Gioia, and Maccacaro 1986). Considerable attention

has been focused on the evaluation and interpretation of the average optical-

to-X-ray spectral index, <a >, for various samples of AGNs. These finding

are briefly summarized in Table 1. The <a > values have been used, for

example, to infer that radio-selected quasars are several times more X-ray

luminous than optically selected quasars (Ku, Helfand, and Lucy 1980, Zamorani

et al. 19811, that the broad band spectral index evolves with redshift in

radio-quiet quasars (Ku, Helfand, and Lucy 1980, Zamorani et al. 198l), and

that high polarization quasars and BL Lac objects have similar continuum

shapes (Ledden and O'Dell 1985).

In addition to the comparison of broad and spectral indices, statistical

correlations between radio, optical, and X-ray emissions in AGNs have also

been studied by the previous workers. Ku, Helfand, and Lucy (1980) show a

general correlation between radio and X-ray emissions in quasars, which was

confirmed and refined in our examination of radio-loud quasars (Kembhavi,

Feigelson, and Singh 1986; hereafter Paper 11). The close correlation between

optical and X-ray luminosities in Seyferts and quasars has been established by

a number of workers (e.g. Reichert et al. 1982, Blumenthal, Keel, and Miller

1982, Kriss and Canizares 1983, Kriss and Canizares 1985). Zamorani (1984)

and A m i and Tananbaum (1986) have examined the relations between the spectral

index a and optical luminosity and redshift, and Zamorani (1984) has raised

the possiblllty that the quasars X-ray'lminosities are slmultaneously

correlated with their radio and optical luminosities.

. Some researchers have expressed a reluctance to examine directly the

correlations between luminosities at different spectral bands for fear of

encountering spurious correlations, as all luminosities for a given object are

scaled by the same (distance)* factor.

distance-dependent effect occurs if all objects are considered, including

those not detected (Feigelson and Berg 1983 and Paper 11).

this study has been undertaken is that powerful and well-established

statistical techniques are now available that fully account for the presence

of upper limits in luminosity-luminosity diagrams (Feigelson and Nelson 1985,

Isobe, Feigelson, and Nelson 1986).

We have shown, however, that no such

A major reason

The present study represents an improvement upon previous studies in

three respects. First, following Paper 11, we take particular care to

consider CORE radio emission rather than TOTAL radio emission from each AGNs.

The total radio flux frequently includes jets and lobes, which does not

reflect the current state of activity in the nucleus. While this distinction

is small f o r some classes of AGNs (e.g. radio selected BL Lac objects), it is

a considerable correction for others (e.g. 3C and 4C quasars). Note that our

earlier V U observations (Feigelson, Isobe, and Kembhavi 1984; hereafter Paper

I) were specifically designed to acquire radio core fluxes for this study.

Radio observations from certain optically selected quasars not presented in

Paper I, are now presented in 0 11. Second, we analyze a much larger number

of objects than earlier studies by virtue of having collected most or all of

the extant literature. The database ( 0 111) includes all AGNs (except for

certain classes, such as Seyfert galaxies and radio galaxies, where the data

suffer significant anbigilities) f o r vhlch radio core, optical and X-ray

observations have been reported. All upper limits are included. Third, we

problems involving upper limits in medical and industrial situations. These

methods are reviewed in 8 IV; the reader is encouraged to examine Feigelson

and Nelson (1985) and Isobe, Feigelson, and Nelson (1986) for more details.

Applying these statistical methods to the database in § 111, we calculate the

correlations and linear regressions between X-ray, optical, and radio

luminosities. We also investigate several specific issues: (1) The dependence

of optical to X-ray spectral index on the optical luminosity and the redshift;

( 2 ) a proposed two-component model for X-ray emission of the radio selected

quasars; ( 3 ) a comparison of the BL Lac objects with the radio selected

quasars; and (4) a comparison of the optically selected quasars with the X-ray

selected AGNs. The results from these investigation and their interpretations

are presented in § V. 0 VI summarizes the whole study.

11. RADIO OBSERVATIONS

Although most of the data are drawn from the published literatures, we

have made two sets of observations with the NEUO Very Large Array (VU) to

improve the quality of radio data on certain AGNs with measured X-ray

luminosities.

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is operated by Associated

Universities, Inc., under contract with the National Science Foundation.

On 23-24 October 1982, thirty-six optically selected quasars with X-ray

properties measured by Ku, Helfand, and Lucy (1980), or Zamorani et al. (1981)

were observed at the V U . These radio quiet quasars were observed at the same

time as the radio loud quasars discussed in Paper I. The array was in the

standard B configuration and 26 antennas were operating.

limits around 1 mJy, and 8 quasars were detected with flux densities between

0.8 and 40.5 mJy. Of these, four were not (to our knowledge) previously known

In the second set of VLA observations, we observed the X-ray selected

AGNs from the serendipitous Einstien IPC sample of Kriss and Canizares (1982).

The observations were performed along with the survey of discussed by Gioia

et al. (1984) on 28-30 November 1981 with the VLA in the C configuration. The

results are given in Table 2b. Data for one object in the sample, 0514-003,

were not good. Snapshots of -12 minutes duration gave 5 x rms upper limits

around 0 .7 mJy for 21 of the sources. Three are detected, one of which

This study is base on the radio, optical and X-ray luminosities of a

variety of AGNs given in Tables 3, 4 , and 5. In Table 3, we show data on the

radio selected, optically selected, and X-ray selected samples of emission

line AGNs. Data on BL Lacertae type objects are shown in Tables 4a and 4b.

Table 5 includes optically faint o r undetected AGNs for which redshifts

measurements are not available.

The database I however, excludes certain classes of AGNs for which

unambiguous radio cores, optical magnitudes o r X-ray data are not available.

Few Seyfert galaxies have optical core magnitudes reported separately from the

host galaxy brightness, and their radio structures are frequently complex so

that the core is not readily discriminated from ejecta (e.g. Ulvestad and

Wilson 1983).

iv) If single dish data are available, and the spectral index is steeper than

0.3, the 5 GHz flux density given for the object is treated as an upper limit,

even if it is detected. This is because of the probable existence of extended

components. Although a distribution of the upper limits set by this procedure

may not be same as that of the upper limits due to the flux Ilmited

high degree of variability.

There are several possible sources of error in the database. First, data

are collected from variety of references and may be differently treated in

each reference. Second, and related to the first point, uncertainty arises

when a source is variable and observations are not done simultaneously.

Third, some error is caused by the extrapolation of published data with fixed

spectral indices to compute luminosity densities at consistent wavelength in

the emitting frame. For example, this may be an important error source for

the optical luminosity density, since we do not consider the effect of 3000 A

in clinical epidemiology, actuarial science and industrial reliability, where

'censored data' (i.e. upper or lower limits) frequently arise. The methods

are typically extensions of parametric (e.g. least square regression) or non-

parametric (e.g. Kolmogorov-Smirnov or Mann-Whitney tests) statistical tools

used for uncensored data, and frequently involve maximum-likelihood concepts.

Most of the procedures we use in this study are described by Feigelson and

Nelson (1985) and Isobe, Feigelson, and Nelson (1986). The former study

treats problems involving one variable: the Kaplan-Meier estimator is the

maximum-likelihood estimator of the luminosity and gives a mean luminosity and

a standard deviation for a sample; the Gehan and logrank tests measure whether

two subsamples are drawn from a same parent population. The latter study

treats correlation and regression between two variables: Cox regression and

the generalized Kendall's r test (the BHK method) which measure the degree of

independence; the EK algorithm and Buckley-James methods perform linear

regression on the data,

Survival analysis or the analysis of

One new method is used in this study. Previously, we could not fit a line

on a data set which contains upper (or lower) limits in both independent and

dependent variables, except by Schmitt's (1985) method which does not provide

analytic estimates of the uncertainties for the regression parameters. Using

the BHK method described by Isobe, Feigelson, and Nelson (1986), we have

developed a method to find a slope coefficient and uncertainty.

Although similar procedures have been already suggested for non-

experience, however, the resulting regression coefficients are quite

satisfactory when compared to those obtained by other methods.

Using these survival analysis techniques, we analyze our database. Cox

regression and the BHK method are used to compute the correlation

probabilities between the radio, optical, and X-ray luminosities, and the EM

algorithm and Buckley-James method (and the new linear regression method, if

needed) are used to calculate the linear regression coefficients (0 Va). The

a) Correlations and Linear Regressions between AGN Luminosities

Using Cox regression and the BHK method, we establish the significance

level of correlations between radio and X-ray luminosities, optical and X-ray

luminosities, optical and radio luminosities, and a and a for all

subsamples described in 0 111. Quantitative results are shown in Table 6a.

numbers of data points which are censored in the independent variable only,

the dependent variable only, and both the variables, respectively. The fifth

and sixth columns show the correlation probabilities by Cox regression and the

BHK method; This is the probabilities that the two variables are not

correlated with each other. The last column identifies the corresponding

figure. Except for some spectral index correlations, all subsamples show high

significant level between all spectral bands. For example, even the optically

selected quasars show a highly significant correlation (P<O.Ol%) for the radio

and X-ray luminosity relation:

Although we find very high significant levels for nearly all

correlations, it is difficult to tell which correlations are intrinsic and

which correlations are secondary. For a completely detected data set, we can

use a partial linear correlation method and a partial rank correlation, but

these methods cannot treat a censored data set. Using the generalized

Kendall’s 7 correlation coefficient, we may be allowed to use a normal partial

rank correlation formula, but since a partial rank correlation is distribution

free, we cannot get significant levels. We show the partial correlation

For the radio selected quasars, the optical / X-ray relation is most

significant (r-0.45, where r is the partial correlation coefficient in Table

7) and the radio / X-ray relation is also important (r-0.42), but the optical

/ radio relation may not be significant (r-0.13). For the optically selected

quasars and the X-ray selected AGNs, the optical / X-ray relation is most

important and two other relations may not be significant. For the radio

selected BL Lac objects, the radio / X-ray relation is most significant and

the optical / X-ray relation is moderately significant, but the optical /

radio relation is weaker. For the X-ray selected BL Lac objects, the optical

/ X-ray relation is most important, and the optical / radio relation is

moderately important, though because of small size of the data, this finding

may not be accurate. We thus find that the Ro / Rx relations are typically of

greatest importance, with the I / R and R / I relations important only in

certain subsamples.

The linear regressions are done mainly by the EM algorithm which assumes

the luminosities are distributed in a Gaussian distribution about the best fit

line, and the Bukley-James method, which makes no assumptions regarding the

distribution of residuals. Since the relation between log(l ) and log(R )

contains upper limits in both variables in the same subsamples, the new method

described in 0 IV is used to compute coefficients. Quantitative results are

shows the slope coefficient, and the last row shows the standard deviation.

If only one set of the result appears, the regression was done by the new

The dependence of a on optical luminosity and/or redshift for the ox

optically selected quasars is often discussed (Reichert et al. 1982, A m i and

and Canizares 1985, Avni and Tananbaum 1986). Avni and Tananbaum (1982) were

the first to obtain a relation among them using survival analysis (the

"detection-and-bounds1' linear regression method, see Avni and Tananbaum 1986).

Their relation is expressed as

a ox =(-0.0+0.3)(~-0.5)+(0.12~0.06)[1og(Ro)-30.5]+1.50,

where 7 = z/(l+z). They mention that explicit dependence of a on the

variables is possible.

does not follow a straight line. This has been be interpreted as evidence for

two different types of the radio selected quasars (Owen, Helfand, and

Spangler 1981, Owen and Puschell 1982, and Zamorani 1984).

Zamorani (1984) has suggested that there are two different X-ray emission

mechanisms; for example, a synchrotron component and a thermal component. For

the relation between R and R (see Fig. la), the emission mechanism of the

steeper component at high luminosities would be mainly non-thermal, and that

of the flatter component at lower luminosities would be thermal or a

combination of the non-thermal and thermal emission.

r X

Since if the X-ray

emission is a thermal origin, the X-ray luminosity is expected to be

independent from the radio luminosity. This explanation is supported by the

partial correlation coefficients studied in the 0 Va, since the partial rank

coefficients between the radio luminosity and the X-ray luminosity and that

between the optical luminosity and the X-ray luminosity are equally strong.

The X-ray emission related to the radio luminosity may be a synchrotron or SSC

related to the optical luminosity may be a thermal radiation because of the

computation of b-values heavily depends on a few points and hence the value is

unstable.

To judge whether this two component model is needed to fit the data, we

compare these models to the other simple models. One is a straight line

(10g(R~)==29.0+0.481og(1~)) and another consists of two straight lines

log(Rr)<33.77).

components have the same slope coefficient as the BL Lac objects and the flat

components have a zero slope coefficient. The other coefficients are then

found using the BHK method.

The last model is made by assuming that the steeper

2 Since we do not have either a x -test or an other

goodness-of-fit test to compare models for censored data, we need to use a

non-standard method. The Kaplan-Meier estimation of distribution of residuals

found by subtracting these models from the data is examined. The 25th and

75th percentiles of the residuals express the dispersion of the data about the

model. One problem is that these dispersions cannot be translated to

probabilities, and hence the results are only qualitative.

We find dispersions of 0.65, 0.63, 0.51, and 0.44 about the straight line

model, the two straight line model, the flat radio spectra model, and the

steep radio spectra model respectively. Zamorani's (1984) models are thus

better than these other models of the X-ray emission for radio selected

quasars .

Additional support for these composite models is presented in Paper I1

If the X-ray emission mechanism of the resolved radio selected quasars is

dominantly thermal, and that of the unresolved radio selected quasars is non-

thermal, then we can expect a flat slope for the resolved, and a steep slope

for the unresolved radio selected quasars.

e) BL Lac Objects

In our data sets, the radio selected BL Lac objects have a distinct

position.

statistical results are free from the selection effect due to the flux limited

observations. Also because of their nonthermal nature (supported by short

variabilities, high polarizations, and our partial correlation results), they

can be used as a standard to which other subsamples are compared.

Since all the objects are detected in all three frequencies,

Since the BL Lac objects have no upper limits, the partial linear

correlation probabilities in Table 7 can be computed to find which relations

are significant. The partial linear correlation probabilities are

vicinity of the central engine or jets. If the thermal emission from the

accretion disk is the main mechanism (Tucker 1983, Schlosman, Shaham, and

Shaviv 1984), X-ray and optical luminosities may show a correlation but the

radio luminosity is likely to be independent. According to Tucker (1983), the

emission from an optically thick accretion disk can generate the relation

prediction (a-0.7, except for BL Lac objects where CY - 0.9), though the thermal model does not explain the radio/X-ray correlation seen in most

samples. If the entire continuum is due to synchrotron emission, the X-ray,

radio and X-ray is expected with a possible correlation with the optical

continuum model discussed in 8 Vd is attractive. Here all AGNs have the

thermal emission from the accretion disk and the non-thermal emission from the

jets. The differences between subsamples may be due to the differences

between accretion modes (Blandford 1984). If a radiation torus around a black

hole is radiating at just over the Eddington limit, the emission is dominated

by the thermal radiation, since there are insufficient relativistic electrons

to power a synchrotron continuum. The radio loud quasars accrete at higher

rate so that they produce the jets populated by relativistic electrons, but

the synchrotron emission (and possibly SSC) need not dominate and hence we see

Figure Captions

Plot of the 0 . 5 - 4 . 5 keV X-ray luminosity against the 5 GHz radio

luminosity density of the radio selected quasars. The detected

points are represented by circles and the upper limits are

represented by bars in this figure and all following figures.

The solid line in this and following two figures is the

regression line log(R )-a+blog(lr) obtained by the application

of the BHK method.
