Arka Chatterjee, Sandip K. Chakrabarti, Himadri Ghosh

摘要:

黑洞候选者的X射线时间滞后包含有关发射几何的重要信息。最近,对观测数据的时间滞后的研究揭示了非常有趣的性质。为了研究这种滞后行为与能量和光谱状态的真正原因,我们研究了双组分平流(TCAF)内的光子路径,这似乎是一个令人满意的模型来解释光谱和时间特性。我们采用蒙特卡罗模拟技术来实现康普顿化过程。我们使用史瓦西几何中的相对论厚盘作为离心压力支持的边界层(CENBOL),这是康普顿云。在TCAF中,这是平流分量的激波后区域。赤道平面上的开普勒圆盘,其在内缘处被截断,即,在CENBOL的外边界处,用作软光子源。光线跟踪代码被用来跟踪光子到远处的观察者。我们计算了光子在康普顿化、反射和遵循弯曲几何到达观察者的过程中所花费的累积时间。计算了各种硬带和软带之间的时滞。我们研究了时滞随吸积率、CENBOL尺寸和倾角的变化。针对不同的倾角绘制了不同能量通道的时间滞后。再现了卫星观测到的时滞随QPO频率和能量变化的一般趋势。

英文摘要:

X-Ray time lag of black hole candidates contains important information regarding the emission geometry. Recently, study of time lags from observational data revealed very intriguing properties. To investigate the real cause of this lag behavior with energy and spectral states, we study photon paths inside a Two Component Advective Flow (TCAF) which appears to be a satisfactory model to explain the spectral and timing properties. We employ the Monte-Carlo simulation technique to carry out the Comptonization process. We use a relativistic thick disk in Schwarzschild geometry as the CENtrifugal pressure supported BOundary Layer (CENBOL) which is the Compton cloud. In TCAF, this is the post-shock region of the advective component. Keplerian disk on the equatorial plane which is truncated at the inner edge i.e., at the outer boundary of the CENBOL, acts as the soft photon source. Ray-tracing code is employed to track the photons to a distantly located observer. We compute the cumulative time taken by a photon during Comptonization, reflection and following the curved geometry on the way to the observer. Time lags between various hard and soft bands have been calculated. We study the variation of time lags with accretion rates, CENBOL size and inclination angle. Time lags for different energy channels are plotted for different inclination angles. The general trend of variation of time lag with QPO frequency and energy as observed in satellite data is reproduced.
