| Abstract | |
For the first time, the sulphur abundance relative to hydrogen (S/H) in the narrow-line regions of a sample of Seyfert 2 nuclei (Sy 2s) has been derived via direct estimation of the electron temperature. Narrow emission-line intensities from the Sloan Digital Sk y Survey (SDSS) Data Release 17 (DR17) [in the wav elength range 3000 < lambda( angstrom) < 9100] and from the literature for a sample of 45 nearby ( z < 0.08) Sy 2s were considered. Our direct estimates indicate that Sy 2s have similar temperatures in the gas region where most of the S (+) ions are located in comparison with that of star-forming regions (SFs). Ho we ver, Sy 2s present higher temperature values (similar to 10 000 K) in the region where most of the S2+ ions are located relative to that of SFs. We derive the total sulphur abundance in the range of 6.2 less than or similar to 12 + log (S / H) less than or similar to 7 . 5, corresponding to 0.1-1.8 times the solar value. These sulphur abundance values are lower by similar to 0.4 dex than those derived in SFs with similar metallicity, indicating a distinct chemical enrichment of the interstellar medium (ISM) for these object classes. The sulphur abundance relative to oxygen (S/O) values for our Sy 2 sample present an abrupt ( similar to 0.5 dex) decrease with increasing oxygen abundance relative to hydrogen (O/H) for the high-metallicity regime [12 + log (O / H)greater than or similar to 8 .7)], what is not seen for the SFs. Ho we ver, when our Sy 2 estimates are combined with those from a large sample of SFs, we did not find any dependence between S/O and O/H. (AU) | |
