NGC 2992和NGC 3081的1 keV至200 keV X射线光谱

The 1 keV to 200 keV X-ray Spectrum of NGC 2992 and NGC 3081

Volker Beckmann, Neil Gehrels, Jack Tueller

摘要:

用INTEGRAL和Swift观测了Seyfert 2星系NGC 2992和NGC 3081。我们报告的结果和比较的基础上的INTEGRAL IBIS/ISGRI,Swift/BAT,和BeppoSAX/PDS的10 keV以上的光谱。可以在范围从1 keV到200 keV的X射线能带中提取光谱。虽然NGC 2992显示出低于10 keV的复杂光谱,但各种任务观察到的硬尾显示出光子指数= 2的斜率,与观测期间的通量水平无关。在200 keV左右的检测限以下,检测不到截止值。此外,NGC 3081在INTEGRAL和Swift观测中被发现,并且还显示出高达150 keV的连续伽马= 1.8的光谱。这两个Seyfert星系进一步证明了硬X射线谱的高能截止点通常位于能量E_C >> 100 keV处。在NGC 2992中,在硬X射线光度变化11倍的情况下观察到恒定的光谱形状。这可能表明发射热等离子体的物理条件是恒定的,而等离子体的量由于长期的燃烧活动而变化。

英文摘要:

The Seyfert 2 galaxies NGC 2992 and NGC 3081 have been observed by INTEGRAL and Swift. We report about the results and the comparison of the spectrum above 10 keV based on INTEGRAL IBIS/ISGRI, Swift/BAT, and BeppoSAX/PDS. A spectrum can be extracted in the X-ray energy band ranging from 1 keV up to 200 keV. Although NGC 2992 shows a complex spectrum below 10 keV, the hard tail observed by various missions exhibits a slope with photon index = 2, independent on the flux level during the observation. No cut-off is detectable up to the detection limit around 200 keV. In addition, NGC 3081 is detected in the INTEGRAL and Swift observation and also shows an unbroken Gamma = 1.8 spectrum up to 150 keV. These two Seyfert galaxies give further evidence that a high-energy cut-off in the hard X-ray spectra is often located at energies E_C >> 100 keV. In NGC 2992 a constant spectral shape is observed over a hard X-ray luminosity variation by a factor of 11. This might indicate that the physical conditions of the emitting hot plasma are constant, while the amount of plasma varies, due to long-term flaring activity.
