摘要:

我们分析了透镜类星体PG 1115+080的X射线和光辐射的微透镜效应。我们发现X射线发射的有效半径比光发射的有效半径小1.3(+1.1 -0.5)dex。作为在倾斜角i处观察到的薄盘,光学吸积盘具有log[(r_{s,opt} /cm)(cos(i)/ 0.5)^{1/2}] = 16.6 \pm 0.4的标度长度,该标度长度由盘温度与监测带的静止帧能量(kT=hc/lambda_rest,lambda_rest=0.3微米)匹配的点定义。X射线发射区(在静止坐标系中为1.4-21.8 keV)的有效半光半径为log[ r_{1/2,X} /cm] = 15.6(+0.6-0.9})。假设黑洞的质量估计为1.2 * 10^9 M_sun,对应的引力半径为log[r_g/cm] = 14.3,则X射线发射产生于盘的内缘附近,而光发射则来自比爱丁顿极限薄盘预期的尺度稍大的尺度。我们发现一个弱的趋势,支持低恒星质量分数的透镜图像附近的模型,在温和的矛盾,从恒星速度色散和时间延迟的推论。

英文摘要:

We analyzed the microlensing of the X-ray and optical emission of the lensed quasar PG 1115+080. We find that the effective radius of the X-ray emission is 1.3(+1.1 -0.5) dex smaller than that of the optical emission. Viewed as a thin disk observed at inclination angle i, the optical accretion disk has a scale length, defined by the point where the disk temperature matches the rest frame energy of the monitoring band (kT=hc/lambda_rest with lambda_rest=0.3 micron), of log[(r_{s,opt}/cm)(cos(i) / 0.5)^{1/2}] = 16.6 \pm 0.4. The X-ray emission region (1.4-21.8 keV in the rest frame) has an effective half-light radius of log[r_{1/2,X}/cm] = 15.6 (+0.6-0.9}. Given an estimated black hole mass of 1.2 * 10^9 M_sun, corresponding to a gravitational radius of log[r_g/cm] = 14.3, the X-ray emission is generated near the inner edge of the disk while the optical emission comes from scales slightly larger than those expected for an Eddington-limited thin disk. We find a weak trend supporting models with low stellar mass fractions near the lensed images, in mild contradiction to inferences from the stellar velocity dispersion and the time delays.
