超亮X射线源NGC 5643 X-1的NuSTAR和XMM-牛顿观测

NuSTAR and XMM-Newton observations of the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 5643 X-1

摘要:

我们提出了一个高质量的硬X射线光谱的超铝X射线源(ULX)NGC 5643 X-1的测量与NuSTAR在2014年5月至6月。我们通过仔细分离来自ULX和位于0.8弧分之外的其宿主星系NGC 5643的活动核的信号获得了这个光谱。加上2009年7月和2014年8月进行的长时间XMM-牛顿观测,NuSTAR数据自信地揭示了NGC 5643 X-1光谱中高于~10 keV的高能截止,这是ULX的特征。NuSTAR和XMM-Newton的数据与该源一致,除了最近一次观测(2014年8月)外,该源的亮度一直保持在约1.5E40 erg/s(0.2-12 keV),当时它变亮到约3E 40 erg/s。这种增加与占主导地位的硬光谱成分(可能是来自超临界吸积盘内部区域的准直发射)有关,而一个额外的软成分(如果用吸积盘发射来描述,温度约为0.3 keV),可能与从吸积盘流出的大规模风有关,在光谱中也很明显,但没有表现出显着的变化。

英文摘要:

We present a high-quality hard X-ray spectrum of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) NGC 5643 X-1 measured with NuSTAR in May-June 2014. We have obtained this spectrum by carefully separating the signals from the ULX and from the active nucleus of its host galaxy NGC 5643 located 0.8 arcmin away. Together with long XMM-Newton observations performed in July 2009 and August 2014, the NuSTAR data confidently reveal a high-energy cutoff in the spectrum of NGC 5643 X-1 above ~10 keV, which is a characteristic signature of ULXs. The NuSTAR and XMM-Newton data are consistent with the source having a constant luminosity ~1.5E40 erg/s (0.2-12 keV) in all but the latest observation (August 2014) when it brightened to ~3E40 erg/s. This increase is associated with the dominant, hard spectral component (presumably collimated emission from the inner regions of a supercritical accretion disc), while an additional, soft component (with a temperature ~0.3 keV if described by multicolor disk emission), possibly associated with a massive wind outflowing from the disk, is also evident in the spectrum but does not exhibit significant variability.
