恒星穿越磁化吸积环作为等离子体团抛射机制

Stellar transits across a magnetized accretion torus as a mechanism for plasmoid ejection

摘要:

超大质量黑洞的近邻不仅包含吸积的气体和尘埃,而且还包含恒星大小的物体,例如晚型和早型恒星以及属于核星团的致密残骸。当通过吸积流时,这些物体会受到恒星风的直接作用以及它们的磁和引力效应的干扰。通过广义相对论磁流体动力学(GRMHD)模拟,我们研究了恒星的通道如何影响超大质量黑洞的气体环境。我们专注于吸积率的变化和出现的斑点等离子体的漏斗吸积环。我们比较的结果从二维和三维数值计算,已经开始与可比的初始条件。我们发现凌日恒星可以暂时抑制准定态的内流,而等离子体团可以沿着旋转轴附近的磁场线喷射出来。我们观察到的吸积变化的功率谱中的扰动运动的特征签名,这提供了一个途径,这些瞬态事件的多信使检测。最后,我们讨论了我们的结果与星系核多波长观测的联系,重点是十个有希望的源(Sgr~A*,OJ 287,J 0849 $+$ 5108,RE J1034 $+$ 396,1 ES 1927+65,ESO 253--G 003,GSN 069,RX J1301.9 $+$ 2747,eRO-QPE 1,eRO-QPE 2)。

英文摘要:

The close neighbourhood of a supermassive black hole contains not only the accreting gas and dust but also stellar-sized objects, such as late-type and early-type stars and compact remnants that belong to the nuclear star cluster. When passing through the accretion flow, these objects perturb it by the direct action of stellar winds, as well as their magnetic and gravitational effects. By performing General-Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations, we investigate how the passages of a star can influence the supermassive black hole gaseous environment. We focus on the changes in the accretion rate and the emergence of blobs of plasma in the funnel of an accretion torus. We compare results from 2D and 3D numerical computations that have been started with comparable initial conditions. We find that a quasi-stationary inflow can be temporarily inhibited by a transiting star, and the plasmoids can be ejected along the magnetic field lines near the rotation axis. We observe the characteristic signatures of the perturbing motion in the power spectrum of the accretion variability, which provides an avenue for a multi-messenger detection of these transient events. Finally, we discuss the connection of our results to multi-wavelength observations of galactic nuclei, with the emphasis on ten promising sources (Sgr~A*, OJ 287, J0849$+$5108, RE J1034$+$396, 1ES 1927+65, ESO 253--G003, GSN 069, RX J1301.9$+$2747, eRO-QPE1, eRO-QPE2).
