星系核QPE中的Angular Momentum转移

Angular Momentum Transfer in QPEs from Galaxy Nuclei

Andrew King

摘要:

一个关于星系核准周期喷发(QPE)的建议模型调用了一颗绕中央大质量黑洞偏心轨道运行的白矮星。我指出,极端的质量比允许存在强林德布拉德共振吸积盘。这些对于质量转移的稳定性很重要,并且可能通过快速将角动量从吸积盘(很可能是偏心的)转移到近心点的WD伴星来触发喷发。我认为冯Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai(ZLK)周期的影响所造成的一个更遥远的轨道上的中央黑洞的摄动。我表明,ZLK周期可以改变QPE系统的轨道周期的时间尺度上比传质时间短得多,在ASASSN-14 ko中看到,并产生相关的短期变化,其传质速率和轨道周期,最近在GSN~069中观察到。对这些源的进一步监测应限制任何扰动伴源的参数。这反过来可能会限制创建QPE系统的事件的性质,并可能提供关于低质量星系中中心黑洞如何成长的主要见解。

英文摘要:

A suggested model for quasi--periodic eruptions (QPEs) from galaxy nuclei invokes a white dwarf in an eccentric orbit about the central massive black hole. I point out that the extreme mass ratio allows the presence of strong Lindblad resonances in the accretion disc. These are important for the stability of mass transfer, and may trigger the eruptions themselves by rapidly transferring angular momentum from the accretion disc (which is likely to be eccentric itself) to the orbiting WD companion at pericentre. I consider the effects of von Zeipel--Lidov--Kozai (ZLK) cycles caused by a perturber on a more distant orbit about the central black hole. I show that ZLK cycles can change the orbital periods of QPE systems on timescales much shorter than the mass transfer time, as seen in ASASSN-14ko, and produce correlated short--term variations of their mass transfer rates and orbital periods, as recently observed in GSN~069. Further monitoring of these sources should constrain the parameters of any perturbing companions. This in turn may constrain the nature of the events creating QPE systems, and perhaps give major insights into how the central black holes in low--mass galaxies are able to grow.
