摘要:

为了理解吸积盘的物理过程,我们可以研究活动星系核(AGN),X射线双星系统(XRB)和激变变星(CV)。它已经表明,XRB和CV显示出类似的观测特性,如经常爆发和非周期性的变化。后者已被广泛研究的XRB,但直到最近才有直接的现象学类比被发现XRB和CV之间,包括发现的均方根通量关系和光学检测傅立叶依赖的时间滞后。我们提出了一个傅立叶分析的基础上收集的数据在4.2米威廉赫歇尔望远镜使用ULTRACAM著名的CV SS天鹅座在静止。SDSS滤光片$u'$、$g'$和$r'$中的光变曲线以亚秒节奏同时拍摄。相机的高节奏和灵敏度使我们能够研究时间范围为$\sim 10000 - 0.5$ s($10^{-4}-2$ Hz)的源的宽带噪声分量。在~ 250 s的时间尺度下观察到幅度为~ 5 s的软/负滞后,表明较红波段的发射滞后于较蓝波段的发射。这种效应可以解释为热再加工硬光子在最里面的区域的吸积盘,假设一个高粘度参数$α> 0.3$,和高辐射的光盘。或者,它可能与吸积盘上层的复合时标有关。

英文摘要:

To understand the physical processes governing accretion discs we can study active galactic nuclei (AGN), X-ray binary systems (XRBs) and cataclysmic variables (CVs). It has been shown that XRBs and CVs show similar observational properties such as recurrent outbursts and aperiodic variability. The latter has been extensively studied for XRBs, but only recently have direct phenomenological analogies been found between XRBs and CVs, including the discovery of the rms--flux relation and the optical detection of Fourier-dependent time-lags. We present a Fourier analysis of the well-known CV SS Cyg in quiescence based on data collected at the 4.2--m William Herschel Telescope using ULTRACAM. Light curves in SDSS filters $u'$, $g'$ and $r'$ were taken simultaneously with sub-second cadence. The high cadence and sensitivity of the camera allow us to study the broad-band noise component of the source in the time range $\sim 10000 - 0.5$ s ($10^{-4}-2$ Hz). Soft/negative lags with an amplitude ~ 5 s at a time-scale of ~ 250 s were observed, indicating that the emission in the redder bands lags the emission in the bluer bands. This effect could be explained by thermal reprocessing of hard photons in the innermost region of the accretion disc, assuming a high viscosity parameter $α> 0.3$, and high irradiation of the disc. Alternatively, it could be associated with the recombination time-scale on the upper layer of the accretions disc.
