摘要:

X射线瞬态MAXI J1836-194是一个新发现的银河系黑洞双星候选者。和大多数X射线瞬变一样,它是在X射线爆发的开始被发现的。在初始的正则X射线硬态之后,爆发演化到硬中间态,然后回到硬态。现有的RATAN-600无线电监测观测表明,它在几天的时间尺度上是可变的,并且具有平坦或倒置的光谱,与光学厚同步加速器发射一致,可能来自中心致密物体附近的自吸收喷流。我们用欧洲VLBI台网(EVN)在5GHz和中国VLBI台网(CVN)在2.3和8.3GHz观测到了X射线爆发末期的硬态瞬态。8.3GHz观测采用了中国新研制的VLBI数据采集系统(CDAS),记录速率为2048 Mbps,比其他观测的记录速率高一倍。我们成功地检测到了低decorative源在两个观测的高置信水平。源是未解决的(<=0.5 mas),这与AU尺度的紧凑型喷流一致。

英文摘要:

The X-ray transient MAXI J1836-194 is a newly-identified Galactic black hole binary candidate. As most X-ray transients, it was discovered at the beginning of an X-ray outburst. After the initial canonical X-ray hard state, the outburst evolved into a hard intermediate state and then went back to the hard state. The existing RATAN-600 radio monitoring observations revealed that it was variable on a timescale of days and had a flat or inverted spectrum, consistent with optically thick synchrotron emission, possibly from a self-absorbed jet in the vicinity of the central compact object. We observed the transient in the hard state near the end of the X-ray outburst with the European VLBI Network (EVN) at 5 GHz and the Chinese VLBI Network (CVN) at 2.3 and 8.3 GHz. The 8.3 GHz observations were carried out at a recording rate of 2048 Mbps using the newly-developed Chinese VLBI data acquisition system (CDAS), twice higher than the recording rate used in the other observations. We successfully detected the low-declination source with a high confidence level in both observations. The source was unresolved (<=0.5 mas), which is in agreement with an AU-scale compact jet.
