摘要:

NGC~300 X-1是一个Wolf Rayet +黑洞双星,X射线通量呈周期性下降。本文介绍了钱德拉X射线天文台对NGC~300 X-1的两次新观测(总观测值为$\sim$ 130 k s)以及哈勃空间望远镜的ACS成像数据。我们观察到显着的X射线发射的短期变化,这是不一致的掩星的捐助者的明星,但在外部吸积盘或风的捐助者的明星是一致的结构。我们同时适合一个部分覆盖的磁盘黑体和康普顿日冕模型的日食出口和非日食部分的X射线光谱。我们发现,唯一的模型参数,日食出口和非日食光谱的部分之间的变化是部分覆盖分数($\sim$ 86%在日食出口和$\sim$ 44%在非日食)和吸收柱($\sim$ 12.3 $\times10^{22}$厘米$^{-2}$在日食出口,相比$\sim$ 1.4 $\times10^{22}$厘米$^{-2}$在非日食)。X射线光谱与X射线源穿过伴星的致密恒星风的运动一致。从我们新的HST成像中,我们发现WR星在X射线误差圆内,以及其他光源,包括AGB星和早期型主序星。最后,我们使用我们的出口测量rephase以前的径向速度测量文献中报道的,并找到证据表明,速度的强烈影响的电离风的紧凑的对象。因此,我们认为推断的黑洞质量可能是不可靠的。

英文摘要:

NGC~300 X-1 is a Wolf Rayet + black hole binary that exhibits periodic decreases in X-ray flux. We present two new observations of NGC~300 X-1 from the Chandra X-ray Observatory (totaling $\sim$130 ks) along with ACS imaging data from the Hubble Space Telescope. We observe significant short-term variability in the X-ray emission that is inconsistent with an occultation by the donor star, but is consistent with structure in the outer accretion disk or the wind of the donor star. We simultaneously fit a partially-covered disk blackbody and Comptonized corona model to the eclipse egress and non-eclipsing portions of the X-ray spectrum. We find that the only model parameters that varied between the eclipse egress and non-eclipsing portions of the spectra were the partial covering fraction ($\sim$86% during eclipse egress and $\sim$44% during non-eclipse) and absorbing column ($\sim$12.3$\times10^{22}$ cm$^{-2}$ during eclipse egress, compared to $\sim$1.4$\times10^{22}$ cm$^{-2}$ during non-eclipse). The X-ray spectra are consistent with the movement of the X-ray source through the dense stellar winds of the companion star. From our new HST imaging, we find the WR star within the X-ray error circle, along with additional optical sources including an AGB star and an early-type main sequence star. Finally, we use our egress measurement to rephase previous radial velocity measurements reported in the literature, and find evidence that the velocities are strongly affected by the ionization of the wind by the compact object. Thus, we argue the inferred mass of the black hole may not be reliable.
