本研究利用五个历元的 AstroSat 同步观测分析 NGC 4151 的紫外–X射线光谱,发现 X 射线吸收柱远高于紫外消光估计,并提出双区或两相遮蔽体模型解释差异。

摘要:

我们基于 2017–2018 年间五个历元的 AstroSat 同步观测,对 NGC 4151 进行了多波段光谱研究,观测覆盖近紫外(NUV)至硬 X 射线波段(约 0.005–80 keV)。在校正了内禀消光和银河系消光、宽线区与窄线区的贡献以及宿主星系发射之后,我们得到了内禀吸积盘连续谱。我们发现,在紫外流量更亮时连续谱更蓝,这可能源于吸积盘连续谱的变化或紫外红化。我们利用 2000 年 3 月获取的高分辨率 HST/STIS 光谱估计内禀红化为 E(B−V)~0.4。我们采用热康普顿化、中性和电离吸收以及 X 射线反射来建模 X 射线光谱。我们得到的 X 射线吸收中性柱密度在 N_H~1.2–3.4×10^23 cm^-2 之间变化;在假设银河系尘气比的情况下,这比由紫外消光估计的值高约 100 倍。为调和这一差异,我们提出两种合理的遮蔽体构型:(a) 由升华半径分隔的无尘区和含尘区组成的双区遮蔽体;或 (b) 由嵌在低密度介质中的致密团块状云组成的两相遮蔽体,在这种情形下,少数致密云会显著遮蔽致密 X 射线源,而来自延展吸积盘的大部分紫外辐射则穿过低密度介质。此外,我们发现 X 射线吸收柱密度与 NUV−FUV 颜色及紫外流量之间存在正相关,表明风可能增强,而这种风或许由“越亮越蓝”的紫外连续谱驱动。

英文摘要:

We present a multi-wavelength spectral study of NGC 4151 based on five epochs of simultaneous AstroSat observations in the near ultra-violet (NUV) to hard X-ray band ($\sim 0.005-80$ keV) during $2017 - 2018$. We derived the intrinsic accretion disk continuum after correcting for internal and Galactic extinction, contributions from broad and narrow line regions, and emission from the host galaxy. We found a bluer continuum at brighter UV flux possibly due to variations in the accretion disk continuum or the UV reddening. We estimated the intrinsic reddening, $E(B-V) \sim 0.4$, using high-resolution HST/STIS spectrum acquired in March 2000. We used thermal Comptonization, neutral and ionized absorption, and X-ray reflection to model the X-ray spectra. We obtained the X-ray absorbing neutral column varying between $N_H \sim 1.2-3.4 \times 10^{23} cm^{-2}$, which are $\sim 100$ times larger than that estimated from UV extinction, assuming the Galactic dust-to-gas ratio. To reconcile this discrepancy, we propose two plausible configurations of the obscurer: (a) a two-zone obscurer consisting of dust-free and dusty regions, divided by the sublimation radius, or (b) a two-phase obscurer consisting of clumpy, dense clouds embedded in a low-density medium, resulting in a scenario where a few dense clouds obscure the compact X-ray source substantially, while the bulk of UV emission arising from the extended accretion disk passes through the low-density medium. Furthermore, we find a positive correlation between X-ray absorption column and $NUV-FUV$ color and UV flux, indicative of enhanced winds possibly driven by the 'bluer-when-brighter' UV continuum.
