摘要:

在窄线赛弗特1星系1H 0707-495中,最近探测到一个频率为$\sim 2.6\times 10^{-4}$ Hz的瞬态准周期振荡(QPO)信号,其统计意义非常显著。在这里,我们用加权小波Z变换(WWZ)方法重新分析了2008年2月4日观测到的同一组XMM-牛顿数据。除了证实以前的研究结果,我们还发现了另一个QPO信号的频率为$\sim 1.2\times 10^{-4}$赫兹在一个单独的X射线发射阶段的显着性水平$\sim 3.7σ$。该信号也被发现拟合自回归模型,但在较低的显着性。这两个信号之间的频率比为$\sim 2:1$。对1H 0707-495的其他XMM-牛顿测量结果的分析也揭示了在2007年5月14日(2010年9月17日)在$\sim 4.2σ$($\sim 3.5σ$)的显著性水平上存在$\sim 2.6\times 10^{-4}$ Hz($\sim 1.2\times 10^{-4}$ Hz)QPO信号。在这项工作中发现的QPO频率遵循的$f_{QPO}-M_{BH}$关系在以前的作品中报道的恒星质量的超大质量黑洞。这是首次在活动星系核中观测到两个分离的瞬态X射线QPO信号,为研究吸积超大质量黑洞的物理机制提供了新的线索。

英文摘要:

In the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy 1H 0707-495, recently a transient quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) signal with a frequency of $\sim 2.6\times 10^{-4}$ Hz has been detected at a high statistical significance. Here, we reanalyze the same set of XMM-Newton data observed on 2008 February 4 with the Weighted-Wavelet Z-transform (WWZ) method. In addition to confirming the previous findings, we also find another QPO signal with a frequency of $\sim 1.2\times 10^{-4}$ Hz in a separated X-ray emission phase at the significance level of $\sim 3.7σ$. The signal is also found fitting an auto-regressive model though at a lower significance. The frequency ratio between these two signals is $\sim 2:1$. The analysis of other XMM-Newton measurements of 1H 0707-495 also reveals the presence of the $\sim 2.6\times 10^{-4}$ Hz ($\sim 1.2\times 10^{-4}$ Hz) QPO signal on 2007 May 14 (2010 September 17) at the significance level of $\sim 4.2σ$ ($\sim 3.5σ$). The QPO frequency found in this work follows the $f_{QPO}-M_{BH}$ relation reported in previous works spanning from stellar-mass to supermassive black holes. This is the first time to observe two separated transient X-ray QPO signals in active galactic nuclei (AGNs), which sheds new light on the physics of accreting supermassive black holes.
