摘要:

过去对塞弗特2号MCG-03-58-007附近的X射线观测显示,存在一个强大且高度可变的盘风,其中观测到两个可能的相位,分别是$v_{\rm out1}/c\sim -0.07$和$v_{\rm out2}/c\sim -0.2$。覆盖2010年至2018年期间的多时期X射线观测表明,低速分量是持久的,因为它在所有观测中都被检测到,而与$v_{\rm out2}/c\sim -0.2$一起流出的更快相位似乎更分散。在这里,我们介绍了对2019年5月至6月进行的MCG-03-58-007新监测活动的分析,该活动由四个同时进行的XMM-Newton和NuSTAR观测组成。我们确认MCG-03-58-007中的盘风是持久的,因为它在所有的观测中都被检测到,并且很强大,其动能范围在爱丁顿光度的0.5-10%之间。高度电离风(log($ ξ/{\rm erg\,cm \,s^{-1}})\sim 5$))的不透明度和速度都是变化的。这是我们第一次观察到盘状风中外流速度的显著变化,在短短16天内从$v_{\rm {out}}/c\sim -0.2$(在前三次观测中测量)下降到$v_{\rm {out}}/c\sim -0.074$。我们得出结论,外流速度的这种戏剧性和快速变化可能是由于风的加速,正如最近由Mizumoto等人提出的。在这里,在前三次观测中看到的更快的风已经加速到$v_{\rm {out}}/c \sim -0.2$,而在最后一次观测中,我们的视线只拦截了更慢的、预加速的流线。

英文摘要:

Past X-ray observations of the nearby Seyfert 2 MCG-03-58-007 revealed the presence of a powerful and highly variable disk wind, where two possible phases outflowing with $v_{\rm out1}/c\sim -0.07$ and $v_{\rm out2}/c\sim -0.2$ were observed. Multi-epoch X-ray observations, covering the period from 2010 to 2018, showed that the lower velocity component is persistent, as it was detected in all the observations, while the faster phase outflowing with $v_{\rm out2}/c\sim -0.2$ appeared to be more sporadic. Here we present the analysis of a new monitoring campaign of MCG-03-58-007 performed in May-June 2019 and consisting of four simultaneous XMM-Newton & NuSTAR observations. We confirm that the disk wind in MCG-03-58-007 is persistent, as it is detected in all the observations, and powerful, having a kinetic power that ranges between 0.5-10% of the Eddington luminosity. The highly ionized wind (log($ ξ/{\rm erg\,cm \,s^{-1}})\sim 5$) is variable in both the opacity and remarkably in its velocity. This is the first time where we have observed a substantial variability of the outflowing velocity in a disk wind, which dropped from $v_{\rm {out}}/c\sim -0.2$ (as measured in the first three observations) to $v_{\rm {out}}/c\sim -0.074$ in just 16 days. We conclude that such a dramatic and fast variability of the outflowing velocity could be due to the acceleration of the wind, as recently proposed by Mizumoto et al. (2021). Here, the faster wind, seen in the first three observations, is already accelerated to $v_{\rm {out}}/c \sim -0.2$, while in the last observation our line of sight intercepts only the slower, pre-accelerated streamline.
