从致密天体爆发的时间和频谱分析研究其吸积流的几何变化

A Study of the Variation of Geometry of Accretion Flows of Compact Objects through Timing and Spectral Analysis of Their Outbursts

Partha Sarathi Pal, Sandip K. Chakrabarti

摘要:

在爆发期间黑洞候选者的时间和光谱变化已经在几个出版物中报道。众所周知,在爆发期间,源在最初几天变得较软,然后在几周或几个月后恢复到硬状态。在本文中,我们显示的康普顿化效率(CE),定义为幂律光子的数量和软光子注入到康普顿云的数量的比率,作为时间的函数在几个爆发的变化。由于幂律光子是通过被截获的软光子的逆康普顿化而产生的,因此CE是康普顿云几何形状的度量。我们的研究表明,所有的爆发开始于一个大的CE,并在几天后变得非常小,当康普顿云变得足够小,以拦截任何显着数量的软光子。CE在爆发结束时返回到较大值。我们展示了计数率、准周期振荡(QPO)频率、光子指数和CE的共同变化,并建立了所有系统在爆发期间盘几何形状变化的一般趋势。

英文摘要:

Temporal and spectral variations of black hole candidates during outbursts have been reported in several publications. It is well known that during an outburst, source becomes softer in first few days, and then returns to hard states after a few weeks or months. In the present paper, we show variation of Comptonization Efficiency (CE), defined to be the ratio of number of power-law photons and number of soft photons injected to into the Compton cloud, as a function of time in several outbursts. Since power-law photons are generated through inverse-Comptonization of the intercepted soft photons, CE is a measure of geometry of Compton cloud. Our investigation indicates that all outbursts start with a large CE and becomes very small after a few days, when the Compton cloud becomes small enough to intercept any significant number of soft photons. CE returns back to a larger value at the end of outburst. We show co-variation of count rates, frequency of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs), photon index and CE and establish a general trend of disk geometry variation during outbursts in all systems under consideration.a
