摘要:

MAXI J1659-152是一个轨道周期为2.4 h的X射线倾斜瞬态黑洞候选者。我们目前的光谱,其$I\approx23$静态对应,我们检测H $α$发射与半高宽(FWHM)的$3200 \pm 300$公里的$^{-1}$。利用静止X射线瞬变H_PDMATHABMN半高宽与施主星径向速度半振幅之间的关系,导出了$K_2 = 750 \pm 80$ km s $^{-1}$。轨道周期和$K_2$导致质量函数为$4.4\pm1.4~M{_\odot}$(1 $σ$)。施主与致密天体的质量比和双星倾角可能在$q={M_2}/{M_1} = 0.02-0.07$和$i=70{^\circ}-80{^\circ}$之间。这些限制意味着一个68%的置信水平区间的$3.3 \lesssim M_1(M_\odot) \lesssim 7.5$紧凑的对象质量,确认其黑洞的性质。这些准动力学的限制相比,质量估计建模的X射线数据和任何差异进行了讨论。我们回顾了2010-2011年爆发期间收集的光谱和时间序列测光的性质。我们解释了明显的调制后不久发现的高吸积活动的发生,并在2011年的rebrightening事件起源于吸积盘。这些具有与超级驼峰一致的特征,2011年调制具有部分周期过量$< 0.6\%$(3 $σ$)。我们认为,直接照射的供体的中央X射线源是不可能的,由于其掩盖的光盘外部区域。我们认为,光盘屏蔽显着削弱了捐助者的恒星贡献的光学可变性与$q\lesssim0.07$系统,包括中子星超紧凑X射线二进制文件。

英文摘要:

MAXI J1659-152 is a 2.4 h orbital period X-ray dipping transient black hole candidate. We present spectroscopy of its $I\approx23$ quiescent counterpart where we detect H$α$ emission with full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of $3200 \pm 300$ km s$^{-1}$. Applying the correlation between the H$α$ FWHM and radial velocity semi-amplitude of the donor star for quiescent X-ray transients, we derive $K_2 = 750 \pm 80$ km s$^{-1}$. The orbital period and $K_2$ lead to a mass function of $4.4\pm1.4~M{_\odot}$ (1$σ$). The donor to compact object mass ratio and binary inclination are likely in the range $q={M_2}/{M_1} = 0.02-0.07$ and $i=70{^\circ}-80{^\circ}$. These constraints imply a 68% confidence level interval for the compact object mass of $3.3 \lesssim M_1(M_\odot) \lesssim 7.5$, confirming its black hole nature. These quasi-dynamical limits are compared to mass estimates from modelling of X-ray data and any discrepancies are discussed. We review the properties of optical spectroscopy and time-series photometry collected during the 2010-2011 outburst. We interpret the apparent modulations found soon after the onset of high-accretion activity and during the 2011 rebrightening event as originating in the accretion disc. These have signatures consistent with superhumps, with the 2011 modulation having a fractional period excess $< 0.6\%$ (3$σ$). We propose that direct irradiation of the donor by the central X-ray source was not possible due to its occultation by the disc outer regions. We argue that disc shielding significantly weakens the donor star contribution to the optical variability in systems with $q\lesssim0.07$, including neutron star ultra-compact X-ray binaries.
