摘要:

我们使用X射线和光学微透镜测量研究透镜星系中的暗物质密度分布的形状和(软)X射线发射区的大小。我们表明,单历元X射线微透镜是敏感的源的大小。我们的结果与以前的估计很好地吻合,表明X射线发射区的大小与黑洞质量大致呈线性关系,半光半径为$R_{1/2}\simeq(24\pm14) r_g$,其中$r_g=GM_{BH}/c^2$。这相当于一个大小为$\log(R_{1/2}/cm)=15.6^{+0.3}_{-0.3}$或$\sim$ 1光日的黑洞质量为$M_{BH}=10^9 M_\sun$。我们同时估计了恒星局部表面质量密度的分数,发现恒星质量分数是在平均半径为$\sim 1.9 R_{e}$的$α=0.20\pm0.05$,其中$R_e$是透镜的有效半径。这个恒星质量分数对X射线源的大小不敏感,并且与我们早期基于光学数据的结果非常一致。通过结合X射线和光学微透镜数据,我们可以将这个较大的样品分为两个径向箱。我们发现,在恒星的形式的表面质量密度是$α=0.31\pm0.15$和$α=0.13\pm0.05$在$(1.3\pm0.3) R_{e}$和$(2.3\pm0.3) R_{e}$,分别与预期和一些以前的结果很好地吻合。

英文摘要:

We use X-ray and optical microlensing measurements to study the shape of the dark matter density profile in the lens galaxies and the size of the (soft) X-ray emission region. We show that single epoch X-ray microlensing is sensitive to the source size. Our results, in good agreement with previous estimates, show that the size of the X-ray emission region scales roughly linearly with the black hole mass, with a half light radius of $R_{1/2}\simeq(24\pm14) r_g$ where $r_g=GM_{BH}/c^2$. This corresponds to a size of $\log(R_{1/2}/cm)=15.6^{+0.3}_{-0.3}$ or $\sim$ 1 light day for a black hole mass of $M_{BH}=10^9 M_\sun$. We simultaneously estimated the fraction of the local surface mass density in stars, finding that the stellar mass fraction is $α=0.20\pm0.05$ at an average radius of $\sim 1.9 R_{e}$, where $R_e$ is the effective radius of the lens. This stellar mass fraction is insensitive to the X-ray source size and in excellent agreement with our earlier results based on optical data. By combining X-ray and optical microlensing data, we can divide this larger sample into two radial bins. We find that the surface mass density in the form of stars is $α=0.31\pm0.15$ and $α=0.13\pm0.05$ at $(1.3\pm0.3) R_{e}$ and $(2.3\pm0.3) R_{e}$, respectively, in good agreement with expectations and some previous results.
