在全球磁边界层模拟中发现漂移的高频QPO

Discovery of Drifting High-frequency QPOs in Global Simulations of Magnetic Boundary Layers

M. M. Romanova, A. K. Kulkarni

摘要:

我们报告的准周期振荡(QPOs)与吸积通过非轴对称的磁边界层在不稳定的制度,当两个有序的赤道流的形式和旋转同步约角速度的内盘流击中恒星的表面产生热点的数值发现。斑点的旋转导致高频QPO。我们进行了一些模拟运行不同的磁层大小从小到小,并观察到一个明确的相关性的内部磁盘半径和QPO频率:频率较高时,磁层较小。在稳定的制度下,一个小的磁层的形式和吸积通过通常的漏斗流被观察到,和恒星的频率预计将主导光变曲线。我们进行了探索性的调查的情况下,磁层变得可以忽略不计的小,磁盘与恒星通过赤道带相互作用。我们还进行了调查,有些较大的磁层,其中一个或两个有序的舌头可能占主导地位的其他混乱的舌头。在应用于毫秒级射电望远镜时,我们获得了一个点的QPO频率在350 Hz到990 Hz的范围内。如果斑点不相同或对映,则与一个斑点的旋转相关的频率可能占主导地位。如果斑点相似且对映,那么频率是两倍高。结果表明,吸积率的变化导致QPO峰的漂移。

英文摘要:

We report on the numerical discovery of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) associated with accretion through a non-axisymmetric magnetic boundary layer in the unstable regime, when two ordered equatorial streams form and rotate synchronously at approximately the angular velocity of the inner disk The streams hit the star's surface producing hot spots. Rotation of the spots leads to high-frequency QPOs. We performed a number of simulation runs for different magnetospheric sizes from small to tiny, and observed a definite correlation between the inner disk radius and the QPO frequency: the frequency is higher when the magnetosphere is smaller. In the stable regime a small magnetosphere forms and accretion through the usual funnel streams is observed, and the frequency of the star is expected to dominate the lightcurve. We performed exploratory investigations of the case in which the magnetosphere becomes negligibly small and the disk interacts with the star through an equatorial belt. We also performed investigation of somewhat larger magnetospheres where one or two ordered tongues may dominate over other chaotic tongues. In application to millisecond pulsars we obtain QPO frequencies in the range of 350 Hz to 990 Hz for one spot. The frequency associated with rotation of one spot may dominate if spots are not identical or antipodal. If the spots are similar and antipodal then the frequencies are twice as high. We show that variation of the accretion rate leads to drift of the QPO peak.
