摘要:

本文介绍了用拉斯坎帕纳斯天文台的6.5米麦哲伦粘土望远镜对静止黑洞双星A0620-00的光谱观测。我们测量的吸收线的二次径向速度,并作出最精确的测定日期(K2 = 435.4 +/- 0.5公里/秒)。通过拟合次级恒星的旋转展宽,我们将质量比精确到q = 0.060 +/- 0.004;这些结果,结合轨道周期,意味着致密天体的最小质量为3.10 +/- 0.04 Msun。虽然静止意味着很少的吸积活动,我们发现,光盘贡献了56 +/-7%的光在B和V,并受到显着的闪烁。巴耳末线的多普勒图显示了来自气流盘撞击点的明亮发射和不寻常的新月形特征。我们还发现,光盘中心的对称性不符合预测的黑洞速度。通过与SPH模拟的比较,我们确定了这个源与偏心盘。随着高S/N,我们追求调制层析成像的H-α,发现上述明亮的区域强烈调制的轨道周期。我们解释这种调制的背景下,光盘岁差,并讨论吸积盘的演变情况。

英文摘要:

We present spectroscopic observations of the quiescent black hole binary A0620-00 with the the 6.5-m Magellan Clay telescope at Las Campanas Observatory. We measure absorption-line radial velocities of the secondary and make the most precise determination to date (K2 = 435.4 +/- 0.5 km/s). By fitting the rotational broadening of the secondary, we refine the mass ratio to q = 0.060 +/- 0.004; these results, combined with the orbital period, imply a minimum mass for the compact object of 3.10 +/- 0.04 Msun. Although quiescence implies little accretion activity, we find that the disc contributes 56 +/- 7 per cent of the light in B and V, and is subject to significant flickering. Doppler maps of the Balmer lines reveal bright emission from the gas stream-disc impact point and unusual crescent-shaped features. We also find that the disc centre of symmetry does not coincide with the predicted black hole velocity. By comparison with SPH simulations, we identify this source with an eccentric disc. With high S/N, we pursue modulation tomography of H-alpha and find that the aforementioned bright regions are strongly modulated at the orbital period. We interpret this modulation in the context of disc precession, and discuss cases for the accretion disc evolution.
