吸积流的时间变率:绝热指数和气体温度的影响

Time variability of accretion flows: effects of the adiabatic index and gas temperature

Monika Moscibrodzka, Daniel Proga

摘要:

我们报告我们的旋转吸积流到黑洞研究的下一阶段。我们认为流体动力学(HD)吸积流的外边界处的球对称密度分布,但与球对称性打破了一个小的,纬度依赖的角动量的引入。本文采用二维、轴对称、HD的数值模拟方法研究了不同绝热指数$γ$和气体温度$c_\infty$下的吸积流。我们的工作是由Proga和Begelman所做的工作的延伸,他们只考虑$γ=5/3$的模型。我们的主要结果是,流动的性质,如拓扑结构的声波表面和时间行为强烈依赖于$γ$,但很少对$c_\infty$。特别是,对于$1 < γ< 5/3$,质量吸积率显示出大幅度,慢的时间变化,这是缓慢和快速旋转的气体之间的混合的结果。这种时间行为显着不同的模型与$γ\simless 5/3$的吸积率是相对恒定的,从模型与$γ\simgreat 1$的吸积表现出小振幅准周期振荡。造成这种差异的关键参数是吸积流的声速,这又决定了吸积流是受气体压力、辐射压力还是旋转的支配。尽管有这些差异,时间平均的质量吸积率在相应的邦迪率单位是一个弱函数的$γ$和$c_\infty$。

英文摘要:

We report on next phase of our study of rotating accretion flows onto black holes. We consider hydrodynamical (HD) accretion flows with a spherically symmetric density distribution at the outer boundary but with spherical symmetry broken by the introduction of a small, latitude-dependent angular momentum. We study accretion flows by means of numerical two-dimensional, axisymmetric, HD simulations for variety of the adiabatic index, $γ$ and the gas temperature at infinity, $c_\infty$. Our work is an extension of work done by Proga & Begelman who consider models for only $γ=5/3$. Our main result is that the flow properties such as the topology of the sonic surface and time behavior strongly depend on $γ$ but little on $c_\infty$. In particular, for $1 < γ< 5/3$, the mass accretion rate shows large amplitude, slow time-variability which is a result of mixing between slow and fast rotating gas. This temporal behavior differs significantly from that in models with $γ\simless 5/3$ where the accretion rate is relatively constant and from that in models with $γ\simgreat 1$ where the accretion exhibits small amplitude quasi-periodic oscillations. The key parameter responsible for the differences is the sound speed of the accretion flow which in turn determines whether the flow is dominated by gas pressure, radiation pressure or rotation. Despite these differences the time-averaged mass accretion rate in units of the corresponding Bondi rate is a weak function of $γ$ and $c_\infty$.
