摘要:

本工作的目的是用物理和定量的方法研究明亮的中子星低质量X射线双星的光谱演化,特别是瞬态硬X射线尾。我们分析了5个源(GX 5-1,GX 349+2,GX 13+1,GX 3+ 1,GX 9+1)的INTEGRAL数据,并利用JEM-X1和IBIS/ISGRI数据建立了宽谱X射线谱。对于每个源,来自不同状态的X射线光谱与最近提出的模型compTB拟合。光谱已与双compTB模型拟合。在所有的情况下,第一个compTB描述了光谱的主要部分,我们解释为软种子光子(< 1 keV)的热康普顿化,可能来自吸积盘,由3-5 keV的日冕。在所有的情况下,这个组件不会演变的康普顿化效率方面,与系统收敛到热平衡增加吸积率。第二compTB变化更显着,从黑体种子光子的体积加上热康普顿化到单独的黑体发射。这些种子光子(R < 12 km,kT_s > 1 keV),可能来自中子星和系统最里面的部分,过渡层,被会聚流中的物质康普顿化。该第二compTB分量(无论是纯黑体还是康普顿化的)的存在和性质与内部局部吸积率有关,该内部局部吸积率可以影响硬尾的瞬态行为:吸积率的高值对应于有效的体康普顿化过程(体参数δ> 0),而吸积率的甚至更高的值抑制康普顿化,导致简单的黑体发射(δ =0)。

英文摘要:

The aim of this work is to investigate in a physical and quantitative way the spectral evolution of bright Neutron Star Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (NS LMXBs), with special regard to the transient hard X-ray tails. We analyzed INTEGRAL data for five sources (GX 5-1, GX 349+2, GX 13+1, GX 3+1, GX 9+1) and built broad-band X-ray spectra from JEM-X1 and IBIS/ISGRI data. For each source, X-ray spectra from different states were fitted with the recently proposed model compTB. The spectra have been fit with a two-compTB model. In all cases the first compTB describes the dominant part of the spectrum that we interpret as thermal Comptonization of soft seed photons (< 1 keV), likely from the accretion disk, by a 3-5 keV corona. In all cases, this component does not evolve much in terms of Comptonization efficiency, with the system converging to thermal equilibrium for increasing accretion rate. The second compTB varies more dramatically spanning from bulk plus thermal Comptonization of blackbody seed photons to the blackbody emission alone. These seed photons (R < 12 km, kT_s > 1 keV), likely from the neutron star and the innermost part of the system, the Transition Layer, are Comptonized by matter in a converging flow. The presence and nature of this second compTB component (be it a pure blackbody or Comptonized) are related to the inner local accretion rate which can influence the transient behaviour of the hard tail: high values of accretion rates correspond to an efficient Bulk Comptonization process (bulk parameter delta > 0) while even higher values of accretion rates suppress the Comptonization, resulting in simple blackbody emission (delta=0).
