Sinan Allak

AI总结:

本文通过多波段观测在 NGC 4254 中发现新暂现 ULX 候选体 ULX-3,峰值光度约 4e39 erg/s,其 SED 显示环双星盘证据,并表现出类似 Be 星伴星 HMXB 的硬度比转变和典型暂现 ULX 的大幅光度变化。

摘要:

本文利用档案数据中的钱德拉(Chandra)、雨燕 X 射线望远镜(Swift/XRT)、哈勃空间望远镜(HST)和詹姆斯·韦布空间望远镜(JWST)的观测,报告了在 NGC 4254 中发现一个新的暂现超亮 X 射线源(ULX)候选体(ULX-3),其峰值光度达到约 4e39 erg/s。通过精确的天体测量计算,找到了独特的光学、近红外(NIR)和中红外(mid-IR)对应体。绘制了新 ULX 候选体对应体的光谱能量分布(SED)和颜色-星等图(CMDs),以约束可能的伴星性质。从其 SED 中发现了环双星盘的证据,该 SED 具有 1000 K 和 200 K 两个黑体温度。此外,根据 X 射线硬度比,ULX-3 表现出从极硬到极软的转变,这与一些具有 Be 星伴星的高质量 X 射线双星(HMXBs)中观测到的现象相似。而且,ULX-3 在 0.3-10 keV 能段的光度变化超过两个数量级,这与典型暂现 ULX 的行为一致。

英文摘要:

This paper presents the identification of a new transient ULX candidate (ULX-3) with reaching a peak luminosity of ~ 4e39 erg/s in NGC 4254 by using archival Chandra, Swift X-Ray Telescope (Swift/XRT), Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations. From precise astrometric calculations, unique optical, near-infrared (NIR) and mid-infrared (mid-IR) counterparts were found. The spectral energy distribution (SED) and color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of counterparts of the new ULX candidate were plotted to constrain the nature of the possible donor star. Evidence of a circumbinary disk was found from its SED with two blackbody temperatures of 1000 and 200 K. Moreover, according to the X-ray hardness ratios, ULX-3 exhibits very hard to very soft transitions as seen in some high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) with Be-star donors Moreover, ULX-3 varies by more than two orders of magnitude in the 0.3-10 keV energy band as seen in typical transient ULXs.
