AI总结:

本文研究了 SMC X-2 在 2022 年的超爱丁顿 X 射线爆发,通过对比其与 2015 年爆发峰值后的特征,揭示了衰减轮廓的相似性及不同吸积机制,并发现 Be 星盘的结构变化与中子星相互作用有关。

摘要:

SMC X-2 表现出的 X 射线爆发行为使其成为 Small Magellanic Cloud 中最明亮的 X 射线源之一。在过去十年中,它经历了两次如此大规模的爆发——2015 年和 2022 年。第一次爆发在文献中已有充分报道,但 2022 年的事件尚未得到充分描述和讨论。这正是本文的目标。特别是,比较了两次事件爆发峰值后的特征。这揭示了衰减轮廓的明显相似性,被认为与爆发演变过程中在不同时间发生的不同吸积机制有关。Hα 发射线表明 Be 星盘经历了复杂的结构变化,有证据表明由于与中子星的相互作用而发生了翘曲。本文报告的详细观测对于模拟这类双星系统中的此类相互作用将非常重要。

英文摘要:

SMC X-2 exhibits X-ray outburst behaviour that makes it one of the most luminous X-ray sources in the Small Magellanic Cloud. In the last decade it has undergone two such massive outbursts - in 2015 and 2022. The first outburst is well reported in the literature, but the 2022 event has yet to be fully described and discussed. That is the goal of this paper. In particular, the post-peak characteristics of the two events are compared. This reveals clear similarities in decay profiles, believed to be related to different accretion mechanisms occurring at different times as the outbursts evolve. The Hα emission line indicates that the Be disc undergoes complex structural variability, with evidence of warping as a result of its interaction with the neutron star. The detailed observations reported here will be important for modelling such interactions in this kind of binary systems.
