摘要:

我们目前的结果,第一次观察到的爆发从瞬态X射线二元源MAXI J 0637 -430。这项研究基于核光谱望远镜阵列(NuSTAR)的8次观测和尼尔·盖尔斯·斯威夫特天文台X射线望远镜(Swift/XRT)的6次观测,这些观测是在2019年11月19日至2020年4月26日收集的,当时3-79 keV的源通量从8.2e-10下降到1.4e-12 erg/cm^2/s。我们看到源从具有强磁盘黑体分量的软状态转变为由幂律或热康普顿化分量主导的硬状态。NuSTAR提供了超过10 keV的MAXI J 0637 -430的首次报道覆盖范围,这些宽带光谱表明,双组分模型不能提供对软态光谱的充分描述。因此,我们测试是否从暴跌区域的黑体发射可以解释过量的排放。作为替代方案,我们测试反射模型,包括物理康普顿化连续。最后,我们还测试了一个光谱分量的基础上反射的黑体照明光谱,这可以被解释为一个简单的近似反射所产生的返回盘辐射由于弯曲的光的强引力的黑洞。我们讨论了每个场景的物理含义,并证明了约束源距离的价值。

英文摘要:

We present results for the first observed outburst from the transient X-ray binary source MAXI J0637-430. This study is based on eight observations from the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) and six observations from the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory X-Ray Telescope (Swift/XRT) collected from 2019 November 19 to 2020 April 26 as the 3-79 keV source flux declined from 8.2e-10 to 1.4e-12 erg/cm^2/s. We see the source transition from a soft state with a strong disk-blackbody component to a hard state dominated by a power-law or thermal Comptonization component. NuSTAR provides the first reported coverage of MAXI J0637-430 above 10 keV, and these broadband spectra show that a two-component model does not provide an adequate description of the soft state spectrum. As such, we test whether blackbody emission from the plunging region could explain the excess emission. As an alternative, we test a reflection model that includes a physical Comptonization continuum. Finally, we also test a spectral component based on reflection of a blackbody illumination spectrum, which can be interpreted as a simple approximation to the reflection produced by returning disk radiation due to the bending of light by the strong gravity of the black hole. We discuss the physical implications of each scenario and demonstrate the value of constraining the source distance.
