摘要:

由幂律描述的活动星系核的初级X射线辐射照射吸积盘,在光谱中产生反射特征。在黑洞附近的相对论效应可以显著地改变圆盘内部区域的反射特征。我们调查之间的关系的相对论反射分数$R_f$,定义为日冕强度的比率,照亮吸积盘直接观察到的日冕强度,和硬X射线光子指数$Γ$的NuSTAR样本的Seyfert 1星系。的X射线光谱建模使用relxill代码,这有助于直接获得相对论模糊的反射分量的反射分数。参数$R_f$取决于被内部吸积盘截获的康普顿化X射线发射的量。在我们的样本中,我们发现$Γ$和$R_f$之间呈正相关。来自更大面积吸积盘的种子光子进入日冕将导致日冕等离子体的冷却增加,从而产生更陡峭的X射线光谱。电晕辐射较大面积的光盘将导致较高的反射率。因此,观测到的$R_f-Γ$关系很可能与活动星系核盘冠几何形状的变化有关。

英文摘要:

The primary X-ray emission from AGN, described by a power law, irradiates the accretion disc producing reflection features in the spectrum. The reflection features arising from the inner regions of the disc can be significantly modified by the relativistic effects near the black hole. We investigate the relationship between the relativistic reflection fraction $R_f$, defined as the ratio of the coronal intensity that illuminates the accretion disc to the coronal intensity observed directly, and the hard X-ray photon index $Γ$ of a NuSTAR sample of Seyfert 1 galaxies. The X-ray spectra are modelled using relxill code which helps to directly obtain the reflection fraction of a relativistically smeared reflection component. The parameter $R_f$ depends on the amount of Comptonised X-ray emission intercepted by the inner accretion disc. We found a positive correlation between $Γ$ and $R_f$ in our sample. Seed photons from a larger area of an accretion disc entering the corona will result in increased cooling of the coronal plasma, giving rise to steeper X-ray spectrum. The corona irradiating the larger area of the disc will result in higher reflection fraction. Thus, the observed $R_f-Γ$ relation is most likely related to the variations in the disc-corona geometry of AGN.
