摘要:

我们开发了一个新的模型的X射线光谱拟合\xspec包,考虑到热和动力学(即散装)康普顿化的影响。该模型由两个部分组成:一个是由于种子光子不受有效康普顿散射的直接类黑体发射,而另一个是能量算子的格林函数与类黑体种子光子谱的卷积。当考虑热效应和体效应时,格林函数的解析形式可以作为扩散康普顿化方程的解而获得。利用BeppoSAX,INTEGRAL和RXTE卫星的数据,我们测试我们的模型的光谱样本的六个持续低磁场明亮的中子星低质量X射线双星,涵盖三种不同的光谱状态。特别注意的是,我们解释的框架中的散装运动康普顿化过程的瞬态幂律状硬X射线(> 30千电子伏)的尾巴。我们表明,最佳拟合的δ参数,这代表了相对于热康普顿散装的重要性,可以是物理意义,并至少可以定性地描述在系统的最里面的部分的环境的物理条件的值。此外,我们表明,在拟合的热康普顿化谱的X射线光谱的这些系统,我们的模型的最佳拟合参数是在良好的协议与COMPTT,广泛使用的和完善的XSPEC模型。

英文摘要:

We developed a new model for the X-ray spectral fitting \xspec package which takes into account the effects of both thermal and dynamical (i.e. bulk) Comptonization. The model consists of two components: one is the direct blackbody-like emission due to seed photons which are not subjected to effective Compton scattering, while the other one is a convolution of the Green's function of the energy operator with a blackbody-like seed photon spectrum. When combined thermal and bulk effects are considered, the analytic form of the Green's function may be obtained as a solution of the diffusion Comptonization equation. Using data from the BeppoSAX, INTEGRAL and RXTE satellites, we test our model on the spectra of a sample of six persistently low magnetic field bright neutron star Low Mass X-ray Binaries, covering three different spectral states. Particular attention is given to the transient powerlaw-like hard X-ray (> 30 keV) tails that we interpret in the framework of the bulk motion Comptonization process. We show that the values of the best-fit delta-parameter, which represents the importance of bulk with respect to thermal Comptonization, can be physically meaningful and can at least qualitatively describe the physical conditions of the environment in the innermost part of the system. Moreover, we show that in fitting the thermal Comptonization spectra to the X-ray spectra of these systems, the best-fit parameters of our model are in excellent agreement with those of COMPTT, a broadly used and well established XSPEC model.
