热吸积流的X射线谱

X-ray spectra of hot accretion flows

Andrzej Niedzwiecki, Fu-Guo Xie, Agnieszka Stepnik

摘要:

我们研究了热吸积流的辐射性质的广义相对论模型与全球康普顿化的精确处理,在我们最近的工作。我们注意到一个强烈的依赖电子温度的强度上的磁场,我们澄清的基本机制涉及的流动结构的变化,更强的磁化流接近板坯的几何形状更密切。我们发现,与热同步辐射的种子光子的主要来源的模型同意的光谱指数与爱丁顿比的关系观察到的黑洞瞬态低于1%的爱丁顿光度,LEdd和模型与弱的直接加热的电子(小三角洲)更符合观察。具有大Δ的模型预测稍微太软的光谱,此外,它们强烈高估了~0.01 LEdd的电子温度。在<0.001 LEdd处的低光度光谱在软X射线范围内偏离幂律形状,并且我们注意到,第一散射凸块通常类似于叠加在幂律光谱上的具有几百eV的温度的类热分量。热同步辐射的热康普顿化模型不同意在~0.01 LEdd以下观测到的活动星系核,其中有大量的证据表明缺乏内部冷盘。这表明,热流驱动活动星系核的模型应该被修改,可能通过考虑一个额外的(但内部的流)种子光子源。

英文摘要:

We study radiative properties of hot accretion flows in a general relativistic model with an exact treatment of global Comptonization, developed in our recent works. We note a strong dependence of electron temperature on the strength of magnetic field and we clarify that the underlying mechanism involves the change of the flow structure, with more strongly magnetised flows approaching the slab geometry more closely. We find that the model with thermal synchrotron radiation being the main source of seed photons agrees with the spectral index vs Eddington ratio relation observed in black hole transients below 1 per cent of the Eddington luminosity, LEdd, and models with a weak direct heating of electrons (small delta) are more consistent with observations. Models with large delta predict slightly too soft spectra, furthermore, they strongly overpredict electron temperatures at ~0.01 LEdd. The low-luminosity spectra, at <0.001 LEdd, deviate from a power-law shape in the soft X-ray range and we note that the first-scattering bump often resembles a thermal like component, with the temperature of a few hundred eV, superimposed on a power-law spectrum. The model with thermal Comptonization of thermal synchrotron radiation does not agree with well studied AGNs observed below ~0.01 LEdd, for which there is a substantial evidence for the lack of an inner cold disc. This indicates that the model of hot flows powering AGNs should be revised, possibly by taking into account an additional (but internal to the flow) source of seed photons.
