超铝X射线源的光谱变化

Spectral variability of ultraluminous X-ray sources

Jari J. E. Kajava, Juri Poutanen

摘要:

我们研究了11个超铝X射线源(ULX)使用存档XMM牛顿和钱德拉观测光谱的变化。我们使用三种模型来描述所观察到的光谱:幂律,多色盘(MCD)和这两种模型的组合。我们发现,7 ULX的亮度Lx和光子指数伽玛之间的相关性。此外,这7个ULX中的4个也在观察到的能带中显示出光谱枢转。我们还发现,两个ULX显示Lx-Gamma反相关。样品中4个ULX的光谱可以用MCD模型充分拟合。我们比较这些来源,已知的黑洞双星(BHB),并发现他们遵循类似的路径,在他们的光度-温度图。最后,我们表明,“软过剩”报告的许多这些ULX在约0.2千电子伏似乎大致遵循的趋势Lsoft \propto T^{-3.5}时,建模与幂律加上一个“酷”MCD模型。这与理论上所预期的L \propto T^4关系以及许多吸积BHB的结果相反。观察到的趋势可能是由一个大约10个太阳质量的黑洞周围的外流风发出的圆盘辐射引起的。

英文摘要:

We study spectral variability of 11 ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULX) using archived XMM-Newton and Chandra observations. We use three models to describe the observed spectra: a power-law, a multi-colour disc (MCD) and a combination of these two models. We find that 7 ULXs show a correlation between the luminosity Lx and the photon index Gamma. Furthermore, 4 out of these 7 ULXs also show spectral pivoting in the observed energy band. We also find that two ULXs show an Lx-Gamma anti-correlation. The spectra of 4 ULXs in the sample can be adequately fitted with a MCD model. We compare these sources to known black hole binaries (BHB) and find that they follow similar paths in their luminosity-temperature diagrams. Finally we show that the `soft excess' reported for many of these ULXs at about 0.2 keV seems to roughly follow a trend Lsoft \propto T^{-3.5} when modelled with a power-law plus a `cool' MCD model. This is contrary to the L \propto T^4 relation that is expected from theory and what is seen for many accreting BHBs. The observed trend could instead arise from disc emission beamed by an outflowing wind around a about 10 solar mass black hole.
