Brilliant星团X射线源

The Brightest Cluster X-ray Sources

Andrew King

摘要:

最近有几个声称在球状星团中存在黑洞双星。我表明,这些候选系统,而不是超紧凑的X射线双星(UCXB)中的中子星吸积从白矮星。它们代表了已知球状星团UCXB(如4U 1820- 30)的稍早演化阶段,质量为$\sim 0.2\msun$的白矮星,轨道周期小于5分钟。吸积是稍微超-爱丁顿,并使这些系统超铝源(ULX)与相当温和的光束因子$b \sim 0.3$。他们的理论光度函数略高于$\le$,然后在$\sim 3\le$处变陡。它预测了在椭圆星系如NGC 4472中观测到的2阶探测。非常明亮的X射线源HLX-1位于其宿主S 0a星系的平面之外。如果这是球状星团成员资格的一个指示,可以想象它可能是一个更极端的例子,一个UCXB与白矮星质量$M_2 \simeq 0.34\msun$。这里的光束传输更紧密($b \sim 2.5 - 9 \times 10^{-3}$),但95 Mpc的系统距离很容易消除任何需要调用不太可能的光束对准检测。如果HLX-1的位置表明它是一个卫星矮星系的成员,那么它的吸积体质量$\sim 1000\msun$可能要高得多

英文摘要:

There have been several recent claims of black hole binaries in globular clusters. I show that these candidate systems could instead be ultracompact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) in which a neutron star accretes from a white dwarf. They would represent a slightly earlier evolutionary stage of known globular cluster UCXBs such as 4U 1820--30, with white dwarf masses $\sim 0.2\msun$, and orbital periods below 5 minutes. Accretion is slightly super--Eddington, and makes these systems ultraluminous sources (ULXs) with rather mild beaming factors $b \sim 0.3$. Their theoretical luminosity function flattens slightly just above $\le$ and then steepens at $\sim 3\le$. It predicts of order 2 detections in elliptical galaxies such as NGC 4472, as observed. The very bright X-ray source HLX--1 lies off the plane of its host S0a galaxy. If this is an indication of globular cluster membership, it could conceivably be a more extreme example of a UCXB with white dwarf mass $M_2 \simeq 0.34\msun$. The beaming here is tighter ($b \sim 2.5 - 9 \times 10^{-3}$), but the system's distance of 95 Mpc easily eliminates any need to invoke improbable alignment of the beam for detection. If its position instead indicates membership of a satellite dwarf galaxy, HLX-1 could have a much higher accretor mass $\sim 1000\msun$
