MCG X射线光谱可变性的GR模型--6-30-15

GR models of the X-ray spectral variability of MCG--6-30-15

A. Niedzwiecki, T. Miyakawa

摘要:

我们详细研究了各种几何形状的X射线源的X射线光谱变异性的GR模型,以及各种相对论效应是光谱变异性的主要原因。并与Seyfert 1星系MCG-6 - 30 -15的观测数据进行了比较。这些数据不利于X射线源(1)在对称轴上垂直移动或(2)与椎间盘共旋转并在椎间盘表面上方不远处改变高度的模型。对于观察到的变化性,最有可能的解释是由一个模型给出的,该模型涉及位于距离快速旋转的黑洞非常小且变化的距离处的X射线源。该模型预测了Fe线红翼的一些增强变化,这在朱雀观测中没有看到。然而,增强的可变性的红翼,而排除了朱雀的数据,是一致的过量RMS的变化,5和6千电子伏之间,报告了一些以前的ASCA和XMM观测。我们推测,存在或缺乏这样的功能是有关的光盘的最里面的部分的电离状态的变化,然而,这种影响的调查是目前不可能在我们的模型(假设一个中性盘)。如果通过电离效应的描述完成的模型被证明与观测数据完全一致,它将提供一个强有力的指示,即MCG-6 - 30 -15中的中心黑洞快速旋转,支持从Fe线轮廓得出的类似结论。

英文摘要:

We study in detail the GR models of the X-ray spectral variability for various geometries of the X-ray source and with various relativistic effects being the dominant cause of spectral variability. The predicted properties are compared with the Suzaku observational data of the Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG--6-30-15. The data disfavor models with the X-ray source (1) moving vertically on the symmetry axis or (2) corotating with the disc and changing height not far above the disc surface. The most likely explanation for the observed variability is given by the model involving the X-ray source located at a very small, varying distance from a rapidly rotating black hole. This model predicts some enhanced variations in the red wing of the Fe line, which are not seen in the Suzaku observations. However, the enhanced variability of the red wing, while ruled out by the Suzaku data, is consistent with an excess RMS variability, between 5 and 6 keV, reported for some previous ASCA and XMM observations. We speculate that the presence or lack of such a feature is related to the change of the ionization state of the innermost part of the disc, however, investigation of such effects is currently not possible in our model (where a neutral disc is assumed). If the model, completed by description of ionization effects, proves to be fully consistent with the observational data, it will provide a strong indication that the central black hole in MCG--6-30-15 rotates rapidly, supporting similar conclusions derived from the Fe line profile.
