摘要:

最近发现的X射线脉动和相对论风表明,超铝X射线源(ULX)主要由超爱丁顿吸积中子星或黑洞提供动力。本文对脉冲ULX NGC 1313 X-2近二十年的光谱演化进行了跟踪研究,以了解吸积盘的结构。其主要目的是通过研究它们随光源光度变化的变化来确定主要光谱成分的形状和性质。我们已经进行了光谱分析的所有高信号噪声XMM-牛顿观测的典型的0.3-10千电子伏的能量带,我们已经测试了一些不同的光谱模型,这应该近似超爱丁顿吸积盘。基线模型由两个具有不同温度的热黑体组件加上指数截止幂律组成。特别是,更热和更亮的热分量描述了来自超爱丁顿内盘的发射和截止幂律的贡献,从中子星的吸积柱。相反,较冷的分量描述了来自接近球化半径的圆盘外部区域的发射和风。冷分量的亮度-温度关系遵循负趋势,这与L $\propto$ T $^4$不一致,正如预期从亚爱丁顿薄盘的Shakura-Sunayev,也与L $\propto$ T $^2$,预期对流为主的光盘,但会同意与风为主的X射线发射区。相反,较热分量的(L,T)关系介于前两种理论情景之间。我们的研究结果同意超级爱丁顿的情况下,并提供进一步的细节光盘结构。源光谱演化在性质上类似于在NGC 1313 X-1和Holmberg IX X-1中看到的。

英文摘要:

It is thought that ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are mainly powered by super-Eddington accreting neutron stars or black holes as shown by recent discovery of X-ray pulsations and relativistic winds. This work presents a follow up study of the spectral evolution over two decades of the pulsing ULX NGC 1313 X-2, in order to understand the structure of the accretion disc. The primary objective is to determine the shape and nature of the dominant spectral components by investigating their variability with the changes in the source luminosity. We have performed a spectral analysis over the canonical 0.3-10 keV energy band of all the high signal-to-noise XMM-Newton observations, and we have tested a number of different spectral models, which should approximate super-Eddington accretion discs. The baseline model consists of two thermal blackbody components with different temperatures plus an exponential cutoff powerlaw. In particular, the hotter and brighter thermal component describes the emission from the super-Eddington inner disc and the cutoff powerlaw the contribution from the accretion column of the neutron star. Instead, the cooler component describes the emission from the outer region of the disc close to the spherisation radius and the wind. The luminosity-temperature relation for the cool component follows a negative trend, which is not consistent with L$\propto$T$^4$, as expected from a sub-Eddington thin disc of Shakura-Sunayev, nor with L$\propto$T$^2$, as expected for advection-dominated disc, but would rather agree with a wind-dominated X-ray emitting region. Instead, the (L,T) relation for the hotter component is somewhere in between the first two theoretical scenarios. Our findings agree with the super-Eddington scenario and provide further detail on the disc structure. The source spectral evolution is qualitatively similar to that seen in NGC1313 X-1 and HolmbergIX X-1.
