星风对天鹅座X-3 X射线谱的影响

Effects of the stellar wind on X-ray spectra of Cygnus X-3

A. Szostek, A. A. Zdziarski

摘要:

我们研究了来自BeppoSAX的Cyg X-3的X射线光谱,并考虑了其伴星强恒星风中的吸收和发射。我们发现,本征X射线光谱是很好地模拟了光盘黑体发射,其向上散射的热电子与混合分布,和康普顿反射。这些光谱强烈修改的吸收和再处理的恒星风,我们使用的光电离代码多云模型。观测到的谱的形式意味着风是由两个相位。一个热的稀薄的等离子体包含大部分的风的质量需要考虑到观察到的功能非常强烈的电离铁。需要填充<0.01体积的小的致密冷团块来吸收由热相发射但不存在于数据中的软X射线过量。总的质量损失率为(0.6- 1.6)x 10^-5太阳质量/年。我们还讨论了由康普顿反射,我们发现最好地描述我们的数据的连续模型的可行性。我们的模型的内禀光度表明,紧凑的对象是一个黑洞。

英文摘要:

We study X-ray spectra of Cyg X-3 from BeppoSAX, taking into account absorption and emission in the strong stellar wind of its companion. We find the intrinsic X-ray spectra are well modelled by disc blackbody emission, its upscattering by hot electrons with a hybrid distribution, and by Compton reflection. These spectra are strongly modified by absorption and reprocessing in the stellar wind, which we model using the photoionization code cloudy. The form of the observed spectra implies the wind is composed of two phases. A hot tenuous plasma containing most of the wind mass is required to account for the observed features of very strongly ionized Fe. Small dense cool clumps filling <0.01 of the volume are required to absorb the soft X-ray excess, which is emitted by the hot phase but not present in the data. The total mass-loss rate is found to be (0.6--1.6) x 10^-5 solar masses per year. We also discuss the feasibility of the continuum model dominated by Compton reflection, which we find to best describe our data. The intrinsic luminosities of our models suggest that the compact object is a black hole.
