摘要:

PG 1302 -102的光度光变曲线显示出周期性的变化,这使得该天体成为最有可能的超大质量黑洞双星候选者之一。有趣的是,最近对其更新的光学光变曲线的研究报告了周期性的重要性降低,这可能表明二元模型不太有利。在这里,我们模拟PG 1302-102的光变曲线,跨越近20年,与超大质量黑洞的二元系统中的扰动,在吸积盘更大的分量。我们的模型再现了所观察到的光变曲线的正弦特征的轻微扰动,并预测,一个稍大的周期比以前报道的,约1899天,可能会出现由于冷点在磁盘中的{ \bf更大质量}组件的一个密切的,不等质量($\frac{\mathrm{m}_{1}}{\mathrm{m}_{2}}=0.1$)黑洞二元系统。光变曲线在几年内类似于正弦曲线形状的图案,这可以通过未来的观测来证实。此外,使用我们的混合方法的周期性检测,我们表明,在观察($1972\pm 254$天)和建模($1873 \pm \ 250$天)光变曲线的周期是在一个西格玛,这也是与我们的物理模型预测和以前的研究结果一致。因此,PG 1302 -102的光变曲线的周期性和轻微波动从我们的物理模型中是显而易见的,并通过用于周期性检测的混合方法得到证实。

英文摘要:

The photometric light curve of PG1302-102 shows periodic variability which makes this object one of the most plausible supermassive black hole binary candidate. Interestingly, the most recent study of its updated optical light curve reports a decrease in significance of periodicity which may suggest that the binary model is less favorable. Here, we model the PG 1302-102 light curve, spanning almost 20 years, with a supermassive black hole binary system in which a perturbation in the accretion disk of more massive component is present. Our model reproduces well the observed light curve with a slight perturbation of a sinusoidal feature and predicts that a slightly larger period than previously reported, of about 1899 days, could arise due to a cold spot in the disk of {\bf more massive} component of a close, unequal-mass ($\frac{\mathrm{m}_{1}}{\mathrm{m}_{2}}=0.1$) black hole binary system. The light curve resembles the pattern of sinusoid-like shape within a few years, which could be confirmed by future observations. In addition, using our hybrid method for periodicity detection, we show that the periods in the observed ($1972\pm 254$ days) and modeled ($1873 \pm \ 250$ days) light curves are within one-sigma, which is also consistent with our physical model prediction and with previous findings. Thus, both the periodic nature and its slight fluctuation of the light curve of PG1302-102 is evident from our physical model and confirmed by the hybrid method for periodicity detection.
