The Connection Between Radio Quiet AGN and the High/Soft State of X-Ray Binaries

Abstract

A large sample of AGN studied here shows a ``quenching'' of the radio emission occurs when the luminosity is at a few percent to about 10% of the Eddington rate, just as is seen in the high/soft state of X-ray binaries. The result holds even when the sample of AGN includes no Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies (the systems most commonly suggested to be the analog of the high/soft state). This adds substantially to the body of evidence that AGN show the same spectral state phenomenology and related disc-jet coupling as the stellar mass accreting black holes. That the power law correlation between X-ray and radio luminosity is the same in both AGN and X-ray binaries and extends below $10^{-7}{L}_{EDD}$ strengthens the argument that there is no fundamental difference between the low/hard state and the so-called quiescent state in X-ray binaries. We also discuss possible reasons for the scatter in the radio to X-ray luminosity correlation in the AGN.
