摘要:

我们对环礁源4U 1705-44进行了详细的计时研究,以了解吸积盘的几何形状。利用AstroSat LAXPC数据对软能(3-5 keV)和硬能(15-30 keV)带进行了交叉关联函数研究。我们探测到了几十到几百秒的硬滞后和软滞后。一个动态的CCF的研究进行了相同的能带的光变曲线之一,我们发现几十秒($<$ 50秒)的较小的滞后,这表明变化可能是源自日冕。我们发现在3-10 keV频带中在$\sim$ 13 Hz附近存在宽噪声分量,这在10-20 keV频带中不存在。我们将观测到的滞后解释为中子星周围日冕或边界层的调整时间尺度,并将该结构的高度限制在几十公里。我们独立估计日冕高度约为15公里,假设PDS中的13 Hz特征源自中子星周围粘性壳层的振荡。

英文摘要:

We performed a detailed timing study of the Atoll source 4U 1705-44 in order to understand the accretion disk geometry. Cross correlation function (CCF) studies were performed between soft (3-5 keV) and hard energy (15-30 keV) bands using the AstroSat LAXPC data. We detected hard as well as soft lags of the order of few ten to hundred seconds. A dynamical CCF study was performed in the same energy bands for one of the light curves and we found smaller lags of few tens of seconds ($<$ 50 s) suggesting that the variation is probably originating from the corona. We found a broad noise component around $\sim$ 13 Hz in the 3-10 keV band which is absent in 10-20 keV band. We interpret the observed lags as the readjustment timescales of the corona or a boundary layer around the neutron star and constrain the height of this structure to few tens of km. We independently estimated the coronal height to be around 15 km assuming that the 13 Hz feature in the PDS is originating from the oscillation of the viscous shell around the neutron star.
