摘要:

现有的银河系黑洞在硬态和静态下的射电和X射线通量相关依赖于一个样本,该样本主要由在一次爆发中观察到的两个源(GX 339-4和V404 Cyg)主导。本文报道了利用澳大利亚望远镜紧凑阵列、Rossi X射线定时探测器和Swift卫星对周期性黑洞GX 339-4进行的一系列射电和X射线观测。随着我们新的长期活动,我们现在总共有88个GX 339-4在其硬状态下的准同时无线电和X射线观测,涵盖了15年内总共7次爆发。我们的新测量代表了恒星质量黑洞的最大样本,没有距离不确定性的任何偏差,在最大的通量变化和下降到可能接近静止的水平,使GX 339-4成为与其他吸积源(黑洞,中子星,白矮星和活动星系核)比较的参考源。我们的研究结果表明,无线电和X射线发射之间的一个非常强大和稳定的耦合,尽管不同的性质和间隔一段时间的静止爆发。射电和X射线光度关联的形式为L_X ~L_Rad^0.62 +/-0.01,证实了喷流和内部吸积流功率之间的非线性耦合,并更好地定义了恒星质量黑洞射电-X射线图中的标准关联轨迹。我们还注意到,从拟合的偏差,显着超过测量的不确定性,特别是在紧凑的射流的形成和破坏的时代。[abridged].我们将我们的新数据在一个更全球性的研究黑洞候选人强烈支持吸积黑洞的喷流吸积耦合的尺度不变性,并确认存在两个人口的来源在无线电/X射线图。

英文摘要:

The existing radio and X-ray flux correlation for Galactic black holes in the hard and quiescent states relies on a sample which is mostly dominated by two sources (GX 339-4 and V404 Cyg) observed in a single outburst. In this paper, we report on a series of radio and X-ray observations of the recurrent black hole GX 339-4 with the Australia Telescope Compact Array, the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer and the Swift satellites. With our new long term campaign, we now have a total of 88 quasi-simultaneous radio and X-ray observations of GX 339-4 during its hard state, covering a total of seven outbursts over a 15--year period. Our new measurements represent the largest sample for a stellar mass black hole, without any bias from distance uncertainties, over the largest flux variations and down to a level that could be close to quiescence, making GX 339-4 the reference source for comparison with other accreting sources (black holes, neutrons stars, white dwarfs and active galactic nuclei). Our results demonstrate a very strong and stable coupling between radio and X-ray emission, despite several outbursts of different nature and separated by a period of quiescence. The radio and X-ray luminosity correlation of the form L_X ~L_Rad^0.62 +/-0.01 confirms the non-linear coupling between the jet and the inner accretion flow powers and better defines the standard correlation track in the radio-X-ray diagram for stellar mass black holes. We further note epochs of deviations from the fit that significantly exceed the measurement uncertainties, especially during the formation and destruction of the compact jets ...[abridged]. We incorporated our new data in a more global study of black hole candidates strongly supporting a scale invariance in the jet-accretion coupling of accreting black holes, and confirms the existence of two populations of sources in the radio/X-ray diagram.
