用厚盘模型解释NGC 247的光谱态跃迁

Thick-disc model to explain the spectral state transition in NGC 247

Jing Guo, Mouyuan Sun, Wei-Min Gu, Tuan Yi

摘要:

我们提出了Gu等人2016的厚盘模型来解释NGC 247中软超铝态(SUL)和超软超铝态(SSUL)之间的转变。随着吸积速率的增加,内部圆盘将膨胀并充当屏蔽层以阻挡最内部的X射线发射区域并吸收软X射线和硬X射线光子。被吸收的X射线发射将被重新辐射为更软的黑体X射线光谱。因此,NGC 247在硬X射线波段显示出通量下降,并从SUL状态过渡到SSUL状态。$\sim 200$的过渡时间尺度可以用粘性时间尺度来解释。根据我们的模型,在超软状态下的内盘更厚,并具有更小的粘性时间尺度比在软状态。X射线通量的变化,这是假定由吸积率波动驱动,可能是粘性的时间尺度不变。因此,在SSUL状态下,NGC 247的变化更大。在厚圆盘中,测辐射热光度是饱和的;因此,可以自然地解释所观察到的半径-温度关系。

英文摘要:

We propose the thick-disc model of Gu et al. 2016 to interpret the transition between soft ultraluminous state (SUL) and supersoft ultraluminous (SSUL) state in NGC 247. As accretion rate increases, the inner disc will puff up and act as shield to block the innermost X-ray emission regions and absorb both soft and hard X-ray photons. The absorbed X-ray emission will be re-radiated as a much softer blackbody X-ray spectrum. Hence NGC 247 shows flux dips in the hard X-ray band and transits from the SUL state to the SSUL state. The $\sim 200$s transition timescale can be explained by the viscous timescale. According to our model, the inner disc in the super-soft state is thicker and has smaller viscous timescale than in the soft state. X-ray flux variability, which is assumed to be driven by accretion rate fluctuations, might be viscous time-scale invariant. Therefore, in the SSUL state, NGC 247 is more variable. The bolometric luminosity is saturated in the thick disc; the observed radius-temperature relation can therefore be naturally explained.
