摘要:

黑洞候选者和X射线双星MAXI J1535-571于2017年9月被发现。在其发现爆发的衰减期间,在返回平静之前,该源经历了至少四次爆发事件,峰值亮度为$\sim$ 10 $^{35-36}$ erg s $^{-1}$(d/4.1 kpc)$^2$。为了调查这些耀斑的性质,我们分析了几乎每天都有节奏的NICER观测样本。在这项工作中,我们提出了详细的光谱和时序分析的演变的四个refares。与其他X射线探测器相比,NICER在较低能量下具有更高的灵敏度,这使我们能够将光谱的圆盘分量限制在$\sim$ 0.5 keV。我们发现,在每一次爆发期间,源似乎在硬度-强度图中描绘出一个q形的轨迹,类似于在黑洞双星中完全爆发期间观察到的轨迹。MAXI J1535-571在这些耀斑期间在硬态(谷)和软态(峰)之间过渡。此外,康普顿分量在第一个波峰处未检测到,而盘分量在波谷期间未检测到。假设最有可能的距离为4.1 kpc,我们发现,硬到软的转变发生在有史以来观察到的最低光度的黑洞瞬态,而软到硬的转变发生在一些最低的光度有史以来报告的此类系统。

英文摘要:

The black hole candidate and X-ray binary MAXI J1535-571 was discovered in September 2017. During the decay of its discovery outburst, and before returning to quiescence, the source underwent at least four reflaring events, with peak luminosities of $\sim$10$^{35-36}$ erg s$^{-1}$ (d/4.1 kpc)$^2$. To investigate the nature of these flares, we analysed a sample of NICER observations taken with almost daily cadence. In this work we present the detailed spectral and timing analysis of the evolution of the four reflares. The higher sensitivity of NICER at lower energies, in comparison with other X-ray detectors, allowed us to constrain the disc component of the spectrum at $\sim$0.5 keV. We found that during each reflare the source appears to trace out a q-shaped track in the hardness-intensity diagram similar to those observed in black hole binaries during full outbursts. MAXI J1535-571 transits between the hard state (valleys) and softer states (peaks) during these flares. Moreover, the Comptonised component is undetected at the peak of the first reflare, while the disc component is undetected during the valleys. Assuming the most likely distance of 4.1 kpc, we find that the hard-to-soft transitions take place at the lowest luminosities ever observed in a black hole transient, while the soft-to-hard transitions occur at some of the lowest luminosities ever reported for such systems.
