黑洞X射线瞬时爆发中红外线与X射线辐射的平行轨迹:滞后效应?
Parallel tracks in infrared versus X-ray emission in black hole X-ray transient outbursts: a hysteresis effect?
摘要:
我们报道了在黑洞X射线二元态跃迁中发现的一种新的滞后效应,即近红外(NIR)通量(很可能起源于喷流)对X射线通量的滞后效应。我们发现,在现有的数据集,黑洞X射线瞬变的红外发射似乎是弱的低/硬状态上升的爆发比低/硬状态下降的爆发在给定的X射线光度。我们讨论了这种效果可能是由流入或流出的物质的辐射效率的变化,或在光盘粘度或频谱/功率的射流的变化。此外,我们还发现,对于所有三个低质量黑洞X射线双星,具有良好的采样红外和X射线覆盖率,红外和X射线光度的上升和下降之间存在相关性(在斜率上,而不是在归一化上):L_NIR propto L_x^(0.5-0.7)。在高/软状态下,这个斜率要小得多; L_NIR propto Lx^(0.1-0.2),并且我们发现在这种状态下的NIR发射很可能是由所有三个源中的粘性加热(与X射线加热相反)吸积盘主导的。
英文摘要:
We report the discovery of a new hysteresis effect in black hole X-ray binary state transitions, that of the near-infrared (NIR) flux (which most likely originates in the jets) versus X-ray flux. We find, looking at existing data sets, that the infrared emission of black hole X-ray transients appears to be weaker in the low/hard state rise of an outburst than the low/hard state decline of an outburst at a given X-ray luminosity. We discuss how this effect may be caused by a shift in the radiative efficiency of the inflowing or outflowing matter, or variations in the disc viscosity or the spectrum/power of the jet. In addition we show that there is a correlation (in slope but not in normalisation) between infrared and X-ray luminosities on the rise and decline, for all three low-mass black hole X-ray binaries with well-sampled infrared and X-ray coverage: L_NIR propto L_x^(0.5-0.7). In the high/soft state this slope is much shallower; L_NIR propto Lx^(0.1-0.2), and we find that the NIR emission in this state is most likely dominated by the viscously heated (as opposed to X-ray heated) accretion disc in all three sources.
