车轮星系中ULX N10的钱德拉观测

Chandra observations of the ULX N10 in the Cartwheel galaxy

Fabio Pizzolato Anna Wolter Ginevra Trinchieri

摘要:

车轮星系拥有比迄今为止观察到的任何其他星系更多的超亮X射线源(ULX),因此它是一个特别有趣的研究目标。在本文中,我们分析了三个钱德拉观测最明亮的ULX(N10)在车轮星系,根据目前的理论模型,建议解释这种仍然难以捉摸的对象。对于每个模型,我们推导出相关的光谱参数。基于自洽的论点,我们可以解释N10是一个吸积双星系统的动力约100太阳质量的黑洞。一颗年轻的超新星与其周围环境强烈相互作用是一个可能的选择,只有在未来的观测中有通量增加的证据时才能放弃。

英文摘要:

The Cartwheel galaxy harbours more Ultra-Luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) than any other galaxy observed so far, and as such it is a particularly interesting target to study them. In this paper we analyse the three Chandra observations of the brightest ULX (N10) in the Cartwheel galaxy, in light of current theoretical models suggested to explain such still elusive objects. For each model we derive the relevant spectral parameters. Based on self--consistency arguments we can interpret N10 as an accreting binary system powered by a ~100 solar masses black hole. A young supernova strongly interacting with its surroundings is a likely alternative, that can be discarded only with the evidence of a flux increase from future observations.
