X射线双星中质量吸积率起伏传播的精确解析处理

An exact analytic treatment of propagating mass accretion rate fluctuations in X-ray binaries

Adam Ingram, Michiel van der Klis

摘要:

在吸积致密天体的X射线辐射中观测到的非周期性变化的许多统计性质可以用传播涨落模型自然地解释。这考虑了在整个吸积流中被激起的质量吸积速率的变化。来自吸积流外部区域的变化将向中心物体传播,调制来自内部区域的变化,并最终调制辐射,从而产生所观察到的线性RMS通量关系以及傅立叶频率相关的时间滞后。该模型的先前处理依赖于计算密集的蒙特卡罗模拟,其只能产生统计特性(例如功率谱)的估计。在这里,我们找到精确的和解析表达式的功率谱和滞后谱预测相同的模型。我们使用我们的计算将Ingram & Done(2012)的模型拟合到XTE J1550-564的功率谱。我们在这里提出的结果将适用于任何治疗的传播波动模型,从而为未来的理论建模提供了一个非常强大的工具。

英文摘要:

Many statistical properties of the aperiodic variability observed in X-ray radiation from accreting compact objects can be naturally explained by the propagating fluctuations model. This considers variations in mass accretion rate to be stirred up throughout the accretion flow. Variations from the outer regions of the accretion flow will propagate towards the central object, modulating the variations from the inner regions and eventually modulating the radiation, giving rise to the observed linear RMS-flux relation and also Fourier frequency dependent time lags. Previous treatments of this model have relied on computationally intensive Monte Carlo simulations which can only yield an estimate of statistical properties such as the power spectrum. Here, we find exact and analytic expressions for the power spectrum and lag spectrum predicted by the same model. We use our calculation to fit the model of Ingram & Done (2012) to a power spectrum of XTE J1550-564. The result we present here will apply to any treatment of the propagating fluctuations model and thus provides a very powerful tool for future theoretical modelling.
