吸积致密天体的宽带变率

Broad-band variability in accreting compact objects

Simone Scaringi

摘要:

激变变星在许多方面与X射线双星相似。这两种类型的系统都拥有一个吸积盘,在大多数情况下可以到达中心致密物体的表面(或事件视界)。主要的区别在于X射线双星中的引力势阱比激变变星中的要深得多。因此,X射线双星发射的大部分辐射都是X射线波长,而激变变星则主要发射光学/紫外波长的辐射。这两种类型的系统显示非周期性的宽带变化,可以与吸积盘。在这里,所观察到的XRB中的X射线可变性的属性进行比较,在CV中的光学波长处观察到的那些。在大多数情况下,一旦考虑到与内吸积盘区域有关的时间尺度,这两类系统的变率性质在性质上是相似的。相似之处包括观测到的功率谱密度形状,均方根通量关系以及傅立叶依赖的时间滞后。这里简要概述了这些相似之处,把它们的上下文中的波动吸积盘模型,试图重现所观察到的变化。

英文摘要:

Cataclysmic variable stars are in many ways similar to X-ray binaries. Both types of systems possess an accretion disk, which in most cases can reach the surface (or event horizon) of the central compact object. The main difference is that the embedded gravitational potential well in X-ray binaries is much deeper than those found in cataclysmic variables. As a result, X-ray binaries emit most of their radiation at X-ray wavelengths, as opposed to cataclysmic variables which emit mostly at optical/ultraviolet wavelengths. Both types of systems display aperiodic broad-band variability which can be associated to the accretion disk. Here, the properties of the observed X-ray variability in XRBs are compared to those observed at optical wavelengths in CVs. In most cases the variability properties of both types of systems are qualitatively similar once the relevant timescales associated with the inner accretion disk regions have been taken into account. The similarities include the observed power spectral density shapes, the rms-flux relation as well as Fourier-dependant time lags. Here a brief overview on these similarities is given, placing them in the context of the fluctuating accretion disk model which seeks to reproduce the observed variability.
