Sgr A* 的射电辐射:脉冲星通过吸积盘的传输

Radio Emission from Sgr A*: Pulsar Transits Through the Accretion Disc

Ian Christie, Maria Petropoulou, Petar Mimica, Dimitrios Giannios

摘要:

辐射效率低的吸积流模型已被证明可以准确地解释从Sgr A* 在X射线制度下到毫米波长的光谱和光度。然而,在几GHz的观测结果不能单独用热电子来解释,而是需要额外的非热粒子群的存在。在这里,我们提出了一个模型,这样的人口在吸积流的起源,通过一个脉冲星轨道的超大质量黑洞在我们的银河系。相对论性脉冲星风与圆盘之间的相互作用导致风中弓形激波的形成。在脉冲星通过吸积盘的过程中,相对论性对在激波前沿被加速,注入吸积盘。这些放射性粒子的寿命很长,在脉冲星凌日之后很长一段时间都留在圆盘中。周期性的脉冲星凌日会导致非热粒子的定期注入。我们表明,对于一个脉冲星与自旋下的亮度$L_{\rm sd} \sim 3\times 10^{35}$ erg的$^{-1}$和风洛伦兹因子$γ_{\rm w} \sim 10^4$的准稳态同步辐射建立与亮度在$1-10$ GHz范围内的观测之一。

英文摘要:

Radiatively inefficient accretion flow models have been shown to accurately account for the spectrum and luminosity observed from Sgr A* in the X-ray regime down to mm wavelengths. However, observations at a few GHz cannot be explained by thermal electrons alone but require the presence of an additional non-thermal particle population. Here, we propose a model for the origin of such a population in the accretion flow via means of a pulsar orbiting the supermassive black hole in our Galaxy. Interactions between the relativistic pulsar wind with the disc lead to the formation of a bow shock in the wind. During the pulsar's transit through the accretion disc, relativistic pairs, accelerated at the shock front, are injected into the disc. The radio-emitting particles are long-lived and remain within the disc long after the pulsar's transit. Periodic pulsar transits through the disc result in regular injection episodes of non-thermal particles. We show that for a pulsar with spin-down luminosity $L_{\rm sd} \sim 3\times 10^{35}$ erg s$^{-1}$ and a wind Lorentz factor of $γ_{\rm w} \sim 10^4$ a quasi-steady synchrotron emission is established with luminosities in the $1-10$ GHz range comparable to the observed one.
