摘要:

我们提出了一个全面的光谱分析的BeXRB GRO J1008-57的亮度范围内的三个数量级使用NuSTAR,朱雀和RXTE数据。我们发现显着的光谱参数与光度的演变。特别地,在$10^{36}$ $-$ $10^{37}$ erg与$^{-1}$之间的中间亮度处,光子指数随着亮度的增加而变硬。这种演化是稳定的,并在不同的爆发中反复观察到。然而,在观测到的光度范围的极端,我们发现相关性破裂,具有至少$3.7σ$的显著性水平。我们的结论是,这些变化表明过渡到不同的吸积制度,其特征在于不同的减速过程,如库仑或辐射破碎。我们比较了我们观测到的这些跃迁的光度水平的理论预测和讨论的基本中子星参数的变化,这些理论光度值。最后,我们给出了2014/15年独特的“三重峰”爆发的详细光谱,它不适合一般的光度参数演化。另一方面,脉冲轮廓与在这个光度水平上的预期一致,反对吸积几何形状的变化。总之,GRO J1008-57是一个理想的目标,以研究不同的吸积制度,由于良好的约束,其宽带光谱连续演化超过几个数量级的光度。

英文摘要:

We present a comprehensive spectral analysis of the BeXRB GRO J1008-57 over a luminosity range of three orders of magnitude using NuSTAR, Suzaku and RXTE data. We find significant evolution of the spectral parameters with luminosity. In particular the photon index hardens with increasing luminosity at intermediate luminosities between $10^{36}$ $-$ $10^{37}$ erg s$^{-1}$. This evolution is stable and repeatedly observed over different outbursts. However, at the extreme ends of the observed luminosity range, we find that the correlation breaks down, with a significance level of at least $3.7σ$. We conclude that these changes indicate transitions to different accretion regimes, which are characterized by different deceleration processes, such as Coulomb or radiation breaking. We compare our observed luminosity levels of these transitions to theoretical predications and discuss the variation of those theoretical luminosity values with fundamental neutron star parameters. Finally, we present detailed spectroscopy of the unique "triple peaked" outburst in 2014/15 which does not fit in the general parameter evolution with luminosity. The pulse profile on the other hand is consistent with what is expected at this luminosity level, arguing against a change in accretion geometry. In summary, GRO J1008-57 is an ideal target to study different accretion regimes due to the well constrained evolution of its broad-band spectral continuum over several orders of magnitude in luminosity.
