摘要:

我们报告的黑洞X射线二进制候选人MAXI J1543- 564在其2011年爆发的光谱定时分析。我们的研究包括了罗西X射线定时探测器(RXTE)对这次爆发的所有99个定点观测。我们计算了通常用于研究黑洞瞬变的基本图,并拟合了功率密度和能谱,以研究沿爆发的谱和定时参数。由于观测到他爆发时的计数率相当低,因此无法确定时间参数,从而无法确定不同状态之间的确切转换。我们探测到两个指数衰减期,一个是在源最亮之后,被几个耀斑打断,另一个是在高/软状态。这些衰变的检测使我们能够获得至少8.5千秒差距的源距离的估计。这就为观测到的低计数率留下了两种可能的解释:要么这个源的距离与其他黑洞的X射线双星候选者的距离相似,本质上是暗淡的,要么它有类似的光度,但距离我们超过12 kpc。此外,在高/软状态的源光谱似乎是完全光盘为主。

英文摘要:

We report on a spectral-timing analysis of the black hole X-ray binary candidate MAXI J1543- 564 during its 2011 outburst. All 99 pointed observations of this outburst obtained with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) were included in our study. We computed the fundamental diagrams commonly used to study black hole transients, and fitted power density and energy spectra to study the spectral and timing parameters along the outburst. The determination of timing parameters and hence of exact transitions between different states was hampered by the rather low count rate at which his outburst was observed. We detected two periods of exponential decay, one after the source was brightest, which was interrupted by several flares, and another one during the high/soft state. The detection of these decays allowed us to obtain an estimate for the source distance of at least 8.5 kpc. This leaves two possible explanations for the observed low count rate; either the source has a distance similar to that of other black hole X-ray binary candidates and it is intrinsically faint, or it has a similar luminosity, but is located more than 12 kpc away from us. Furthermore, in the high/soft state the source spectrum appears to be completely disc dominated.
