摘要:

2018年3月发现的黑洞X射线瞬态MAXI J1820+07(=ASSASN-18 ey)是有史以来最亮的光学之一,这导致获得了非常详细的光学爆发光变曲线。我们在这里将它们与X射线和射电光变曲线结合起来,以显示源所经历的主要几何变化。我们提出了一个详细的时间分析,揭示了显着的高振幅(>0.5等)调制的存在下,从超级驼峰(16.87小时)的周期演变到假定的轨道(16.45小时)周期。这些调制出现在爆发开始后约87天,并遵循斯威夫特/BAT硬X射线光曲线,在射电耀斑和喷流喷射前4天达到峰值,此时源经历了快速的硬到软的状态转变。然后,光调制移动到更接近轨道周期,在软态期间,光曲线峰值在轨道相位中从~0.8缓慢漂移到~0.3。我们建议,前所未有的大幅度调制需要在光盘翘曲,以提供足够大的辐射面积,并为翘曲辐射驱动。它的突然开启意味着内部盘几何形状的改变,其将硬X射线发射部件升高到其可以照射翘曲的外部盘区域的高度。

英文摘要:

The black-hole X-ray transient MAXI J1820+07 (=ASSASN-18ey) discovered in March 2018 was one of the optically brightest ever seen, which has resulted in very detailed optical outburst light-curves being obtained. We combine them here with X-ray and radio light-curves to show the major geometric changes the source undergoes. We present a detailed temporal analysis that reveals the presence of remarkably high amplitude (>0.5 mag) modulations, which evolve from the superhump (16.87 h) period towards the presumed orbital (16.45 h) period. These modulations appear ~87d after the outburst began, and follow the Swift/BAT hard X-ray light-curve, which peaks 4 days before the radio flare and jet ejection, when the source undergoes a rapid hard to soft state transition. The optical modulation then moves closer to the orbital period, with a light curve peak that drifts slowly in orbital phase from ~0.8 to ~0.3 during the soft state. We propose that the unprecedentedly large amplitude modulation requires a warp in the disc in order to provide a large enough radiating area, and for the warp to be irradiation-driven. Its sudden turn-on implies a change in the inner disc geometry that raises the hard X-ray emitting component to a height where it can illuminate the warped outer disc regions.
