第一个AGN QPO的X射线双星类比

The X-ray Binary Analogy to the First AGN QPO

M. Middleton, C. Done

摘要:

窄线塞弗特1星系REJ 1034 +396在活动星系核中表现出独特的准周期振荡(QPO)。在黑洞双星(BHB)系统中有多种类型的QPO,因此我们需要确定哪种BHB QPO与AGN中的QPO相对应。一个关键的提示是REJ 1034 +396的“热盘主导”能谱,这是非常不寻常的,它表明了一个温和的超爱丁顿流,也有利于最新的质量估计活动星系核。这表明在轻度超爱丁顿BHB GRS 1915+105中偶尔看到的67 Hz QPO是最有可能的对应物,假设QPO频率的质量缩放。这一点得到以下事实的支持,即来自GRS 1915+105的这些数据具有也由“热盘”分量支配的能谱。在这里,我们表明,基本的宽带功率谱形状和归一化也是相似的,提供进一步的一致性检查,这种识别。因此,活动星系核QPO增加了恒星和超大质量黑洞之间的吸积流性质的简单质量标度的越来越多的证据。

英文摘要:

The Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxy REJ1034+396 is so far unique amongst AGN in showing a Quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in its variability power spectrum. There are multiple types of QPO seen in black hole binary (BHB) systems, so we need to identify which BHB QPO corresponds to the one seen in the AGN. A key hint is the `hot disc dominated' energy spectrum of REJ1034+396 which is sufficiently unusual that it suggests a mildly super-Eddington flow, also favoured by the most recent mass estimates for the AGN. This suggests the 67Hz QPO seen occasionally in the mildly super-Eddington BHB GRS 1915+105 as the most likely counterpart, assuming mass scaling of the QPO frequency. This is supported by the fact that these data from GRS 1915+105 have an energy spectrum which is also dominated by a `hot disc' component. Here we show that the underlying broad band power spectral shape and normalisation are also similar, providing further consistency checks for this identification. Thus the AGN QPO adds to the growing evidence for a simple mass scaling of the accretion flow properties between stellar and supermassive black holes.
