天鹅座X-1的TeV耀斑模型:电子加速和扩展对级联

A model of the TeV flare of Cygnus X-1: electron acceleration and extended pair cascades

A. A. Zdziarski, J. Malzac, W. Bednarek

摘要:

我们认为,理论模型的TeV光子发射天鹅座X-1在耀斑期间发现的MAGIC探测器。我们研究了电子加速到足以产生TeV辐射的能量,发现发射点可以靠近黑洞。然后,我们考虑对吸收的光子场的中心X射线源和周围的吸积盘,并发现其光学深度是<1,允许发射接近黑洞。另一方面,在1 TeV时,恒星场中的光学深度约为10。然而,光学深度随着能量的增加而下降,允许初始能量>3 TeV的模型,其中光子远离恒星,引发空间扩展的对级联。这定性地解释了观测到的TeV光谱,尽管仍然不是它的确切形状。

英文摘要:

We consider theoretical models of emission of TeV photons by Cyg X-1 during a flare discovered by the MAGIC detector. We study acceleration of electrons to energies sufficient for TeV emission, and find the emission site is allowed to be close to the black hole. We then consider pair absorption in the photon field of the central X-ray source and a surrounding accretion disc, and find its optical depth is <1, allowing emission close to the black hole. On the other hand, the optical depth in the stellar field is about 10 at 1 TeV. However, the optical depth drops with increasing energy, allowing a model with the initial energy of >3 TeV, in which photons travel far away from the star, initiating a spatially extended pair cascade. This qualitatively explains the observed TeV spectrum, though still not its exact shape.
