摘要:

本文报道了黑洞双星LMC X-3的X射线光谱与光度之间的滞后现象。我们的观测,与罗西X射线定时探测器上的正比计数器阵列,发生完全在软光谱状态,占主导地位的光谱分量,很好地拟合了一个圆盘黑体。一个幂律分量被认为是只有在时间时,光盘黑体的光度下降。在这些时候的X射线光度与在瞬变系统(X射线新星)中看到的相当,当它们在爆发结束时返回到硬态时。我们的观测结果可能代表了向硬态的部分跃迁; Wilms等人(2001)已经在这个系统中看到了完全的跃迁。如果它们与瞬态中的软到硬转变有关,那么它们表明滞后效应可以在没有完全状态转变的情况下出现。我们讨论了这些意见的背景下,早期的观察滞后内的硬态的二进制1 E 1740.7-2942和GRS 1758-258和有关出版的解释滞后瞬变。

英文摘要:

We report the discovery of hysteresis between the x-ray spectrum and luminosity of black-hole binary LMC X-3. Our observations, with the Proportional Counter Array on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, took place entirely within the soft spectral state, dominated by a spectral component that was fitted well with a multicolor disk blackbody. A power-law component was seen only during times when the luminosity of the disk blackbody was declining. The x-ray luminosity at these times was comparable to that seen in transient systems (x-ray novae) when they return to the hard state at the end of an outburst. Our observations may represent partial transitions to the hard state; complete transitions have been seen in this system by Wilms et al. (2001). If they are related to the soft-to-hard transition in transients, then they demonstrate that hysteresis effects can appear without a full state transition. We discuss these observations in the context of earlier observations of hysteresis within the hard state of binaries 1E 1740.7-2942 and GRS 1758-258 and in relation to published explanations of hysteresis in transients.
