摘要:

从各种吸积系统发射的高能X射线辐射被广泛认为是由热日冕中的康普顿化产生的。日冕及其与盘的相互作用在系统的演化中起着至关重要的作用,并可能对许多观测到的特征负责。然而,日冕的许多内在性质仍然知之甚少,特别是几何构型。传统的谱拟合方法对不同构型的分辨能力不强。本文通过对X射线辐射的偏振特性进行模拟,研究了可能的组态。日冕的几何形状包括平板、球体和圆柱体。模拟是通过公开可用的程序,LEMON,它可以处理极化辐射转移和不同的电子分布容易。结果清楚地表明,观测到的极化严重依赖于电晕的几何形状。平板状日冕产生的偏振度最高,其次是圆柱体和球体。有趣的是,随着光子能量的增加,偏振度先逐渐增加,然后又减小。对于平板几何形状,存在零点,其中偏振消失并且偏振角对于$90^\circ$旋转。这些结果有可能被即将进行的偏振X射线观测任务所验证,例如$IXPE$和$eXTP$。

英文摘要:

Energetic X-ray radiations emitted from various accretion systems are widely considered to be produced by Comptonization in the hot corona. The corona and its interaction with the disc play an essential role in the evolution of the system and are potentially responsible for many observed features. However many intrinsic properties of the corona are still poorly understood, especially for the geometrical configurations. The traditional spectral fitting method is not powerful enough to distinguish various configurations. In this paper we intent to investigate the possible configurations by modeling the polarization properties of X-ray radiations. The geometries of the corona include the slab, sphere and cylinder. The simulations are implemented through the publicly available code, LEMON, which can deal with the polarized radiative transfer and different electron distributions readily. The results demonstrate clearly that the observed polarizations are dependent on the geometry of the corona heavily. The slab-like corona produces the highest polarization degrees, the following are the cylinder and sphere. One of the interesting things is that the polarization degrees first increase gradually and then decrease with the increase of photon energy. For slab geometry there exists a zero point where the polarization vanishes and the polarization angle rotates for $90^\circ$. These results may potentially be verified by the upcoming missions for polarized X-ray observations, such as $IXPE$ and $eXTP$.
