高质量X射线双星喷流中准平激波的形成

Formation of recollimation shocks in jets of high-mass X-ray binaries

DooSoo Yoon, Andrzej A. Zdziarski, Sebastian Heinz

摘要:

本文研究了大质量X射线双星中喷流与星风相互作用时,平行化激波的形成条件。我们表明,存在一个临界射流功率,依赖于风速和速度和射流速度,在此之上,一个reclimationshock不会形成。当喷流功率低于临界值时,我们导出激波的位置。我们表明,表面冲击可能仍然存在以上的临界功率,但只占用一个小的体积的射流,并没有显着改变射流的开口角。我们通过3D数值模拟来测试这些预测,证实了临界功率的存在和值。我们将我们的结果应用到天鹅X-1和天鹅X-3。

英文摘要:

We study conditions for formation of recollimation shocks in jets interacting with stellar winds in high-mass X-ray binaries. We show the existence of a critical jet power, dependent on the wind rate and velocity and the jet velocity, above which a recollimation shock is not formed. For jet powers below critical, we derive the location of the shock. We show that surface shocks may still exist above the critical power, but only occupy a small volume of the jet and do not significantly alter the jet opening angle. We test these prediction by 3-D numerical simulations, which confirm the existence and the value of the critical power. We apply our results to Cyg X-1 and Cyg X-3.
