LLAGN中硬X射线光子指数与爱丁顿比的反相关

The anti-correlation between the hard X-ray photon index and the Eddington ratio in LLAGNs

Minfeng Gu, Xinwu Cao

摘要:

本文利用Chandra和XMM-Newton观测资料,对低电离核发射线区(LINERs)和Seyfert星系的硬X射线光子指数和爱丁顿比L_Bol/L_Edd进行了研究,发现两者之间存在显著的反相关关系。这一结果与活动星系核(AGN)的正相关相反,而与低/硬态X射线双星(XRB)的正相关相似。我们的结果是定性一致的平流为主的吸积流(ADAF)产生的光谱。这表明低光度活动星系核的X射线发射可能来源于ADAF的康普顿化过程,其吸积过程可能与低/硬态XRB的吸积过程相似,而与高光度活动星系核的吸积过程不同.

英文摘要:

We find a significant anti-correlation between the hard X-ray photon index and the Eddington ratio L_Bol/L_Edd for a sample of Low-Ionization Nuclear Emission-line Regions (LINERs) and local Seyfert galaxies, compiled from literatures with Chandra or XMM-Newton observations. This result is in contrast with the positive correlation found in luminous active galactic nuclei (AGNs), while it is similar to that of X-ray binaries (XRBs) in low/hard state. Our result is qualitatively consistent with the spectra produced from advection dominated accretion flows (ADAFs). It implies that the X-ray emission of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs) may originate from the Comptonization process in ADAF, and the accretion process in LLAGNs may be similar to that of XRBs in the low/hard state, which is different from that in luminous AGNs.
