摘要:

我们提出了一个详细的分类的X射线状态的Cyg X-3的光谱形状和一个新的分类的无线电状态的基础上的长期相关行为的无线电和软X射线光变曲线。我们发现一个序列的相关性,从一个正相关的无线电和软X射线通量之间的硬光谱状态,改变到一个负的过渡到软光谱状态。时间演化可以在该序列的任何方向上,除非源进入非常弱的无线电状态,它只能在一个主要的无线电耀斑之后返回。耀斑的衰减是通过相对明亮的射电状态,这导致了通量-通量图上的滞后环。我们还研究了硬X射线的光变曲线,发现它与软X射线的光变曲线有着全面的对应关系。在大射电耀斑期间,射电通量对硬X射线高能尾的水平呈指数响应。我们还详细说明了射电态和X射线谱态之间的对应关系。我们比较我们的结果的黑洞和中子星双星。除了强吸收效应和硬态高能破缺的能量外,Cyg X-3的X射线谱态与黑洞双星的正则X射线谱态有很好的对应关系。此外,无线电/X射线相关性密切对应于黑洞双星中发现的,但它显着不同于中子星双星。总的来说,我们的结果强烈支持天鹅座X-3中存在黑洞。

英文摘要:

We present a detailed classification of the X-ray states of Cyg X-3 based on the spectral shape and a new classification of the radio states based on the long-term correlated behaviour of the radio and soft X-ray light curves. We find a sequence of correlations, starting with a positive correlation between the radio and soft X-ray fluxes in the hard spectral state, changing to a negative one at the transition to soft spectral states. The temporal evolution can be in either direction on that sequence, unless the source goes into a very weak radio state, from which it can return only following a major radio flare. The flare decline is via relatively bright radio states, which results in a hysteresis loop on the flux-flux diagram. We also study the hard X-ray light curve, and find its overall anticorrelation with the soft X-rays. During major radio flares, the radio flux responds exponentially to the level of a hard X-ray high-energy tail. We also specify the detailed correspondence between the radio states and the X-ray spectral states. We compare our results to those of black-hole and neutron-star binaries. Except for the effect of strong absorption and the energy of the high-energy break in the hard state, the X-ray spectral states of Cyg X-3 closely correspond to the canonical X-ray states of black-hole binaries. Also, the radio/X-ray correlation closely corresponds to that found in black-hole binaries, but it significantly differs from that in neutron-star binaries. Overall, our results strongly support the presence of a black hole in Cyg X-3.
