摘要:

食源低质量X射线双星4U 1822-371是典型的吸积盘日冕系统。我们已经获得了新的时间分辨紫外光谱的4U 1822-371与先进的相机的调查/日盲通道(ACS/SBC)的哈勃太空望远镜(HST)和新的V-和J-波段测光与1.3米SMARTS望远镜在CTIO。我们使用新的数据来构建它的UV/光学光谱能量分布和在UV,V和J波段的轨道光变曲线。我们推导出一个改进的历书的光学日食和确认的轨道周期变化迅速,表明在系统中的质量流量非常高的速率,我们表明,在系统中的吸积盘有一个强风与预计的速度高达4000公里/秒。我们发现在可见光波长处,盘有一个垂直延伸的光学厚度分量,该分量几乎延伸到盘的边缘,高度约为盘半径的0.5倍。由于它具有低亮度温度,我们将其识别为盘风的光学厚基底,而不是ADC的光学对应物。像以前的4U 1822-371模型一样,我们的模型需要在吸积盘边缘附近有一个高大的遮蔽壁,但我们认为这个壁是盘风底部的一层较冷的物质,而不是一个高大、明亮的盘缘。

英文摘要:

The eclipsing low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1822-371 is the prototypical accretion disk corona (ADC) system. We have obtained new time-resolved UV spectroscopy of 4U 1822-371 with the Advanced Camera for Surveys/Solar Blind Channel (ACS/SBC) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and new V- and J-band photometry with the 1.3-m SMARTS telescope at CTIO. We use the new data to construct its UV/optical spectral energy distribution and its orbital light curve in the UV, V, and J bands. We derive an improved ephemeris for the optical eclipses and confirm that the orbital period is changing rapidly, indicating extremely high rates of mass flow in the system; and we show that the accretion disk in the system has a strong wind with projected velocities up to 4000 km/s. We show that the disk has a vertically-extended, optically-thick component at optical wavelengths.This component extends almost to the edge of the disk and has a height equal to ~0.5 of the disk radius. As it has a low brightness temperature, we identify it as the optically-thick base of a disk wind, not as the optical counterpart of the ADC. Like previous models of 4U 1822-371, ours needs a tall obscuring wall near the edge of the accretion disk, but we interpret the wall as a layer of cooler material at the base of the disk wind, not as a tall, luminous disk rim.
