类星体中反冲黑洞的强大耀斑

Powerful flares from recoiling black holes in quasars

G. A. Shields, E. W. Bonning

摘要:

旋转黑洞的合并可以使引力辐射的反冲速度达到几千公里/秒。活动星系核中反冲的超大质量黑洞保留着其吸积盘的内部。边缘结合的物质重新加入移动的黑洞周围的盘,在短时间内释放大量的能量,导致热软X射线的耀斑,亮度接近爱丁顿极限。下落物质对X射线的再处理产生了具有独特光谱的强光学和紫外线发射线。尽管耀斑的寿命很短(约10^4年),但目前在类星体中可能有多达100个红移约为1到3的耀斑在活动。这些照明弹提供了一种识别高速反冲的手段。

英文摘要:

Mergers of spinning black holes can give recoil velocities from gravitational radiation up to several thousand km/s. A recoiling supermassive black hole in an AGN retains the inner part of its accretion disk. Marginally bound material rejoining the disk around the moving black hole releases a large amount of energy in shocks in a short time, leading to a flare in thermal soft X-rays with a luminosity approaching the Eddington limit. Reprocessing of the X-rays by the infalling material gives strong optical and ultraviolet emission lines with a distinctive spectrum. Despite the short lifetime of the flare (~10^4 yr), as many as 100 flares may be in play at the present time in QSOs at redshifts ~ 1 to 3. These flares provide a means to identify high velocity recoils.
