摘要:

在它的演化过程中,黑洞(BH)从不同的方向吸积气体。给定一个随机吸积事件,吸积盘的典型角动量将相对于BH自旋倾斜$\sim$ 60 $^\circ$。未对准导致光盘以随BH旋转和倾斜角增加的速率旋进。我们提出了第一个广义相对论磁流体动力学(GRMHD)模拟跨越一个完整的进动周期的高度倾斜(60 $^\circ$),适度薄($h/r=0.1$)吸积盘周围的快速旋转($a\simeq0.9$)BH。当圆盘和喷流同相进动时,我们发现夹在两者之间的日冕滞后于$\gtrsim 10^{\circ}$。对于BH吸积的光谱模型,这意味着硬非热(日冕)发射滞后于软(盘)发射,从而可能解释在X射线双星中的C型低频准周期振荡中看到的硬能量滞后的一些特性。强喷流不受这种盘状日冕滞后的影响,而弱喷流在$r \sim 100$黑洞半径处遇到滞后日冕时会失速。这种相互作用可能会抑制大规模喷流的形成。

英文摘要:

In the course of its evolution, a black hole (BH) accretes gas from a wide range of directions. Given a random accretion event, the typical angular momentum of an accretion disc would be tilted by $\sim$60$^\circ$ relative to the BH spin. Misalignment causes the disc to precess at a rate that increases with BH spin and tilt angle. We present the first general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations spanning a full precession period of highly tilted (60$^\circ$), moderately thin ($h/r=0.1$) accretion discs around a rapidly spinning ($a\simeq0.9$) BH. While the disc and jets precess in phase, we find that the corona, sandwiched between the two, lags behind by $\gtrsim 10^{\circ}$. For spectral models of BH accretion, the implication is that hard non-thermal (corona) emission lags behind the softer (disc) emission, thus potentially explaining some properties of the hard energy lags seen in Type-C low frequency quasi-periodic oscillations in X-Ray binaries. While strong jets are unaffected by this disc-corona lag, weak jets stall when encountering the lagging corona at distances $r \sim 100$ black hole radii. This interaction may quench large-scale jet formation.
