本文用61个已发表数据集检验银河系、河外及黑洞系统中SOC尺度分布幂律斜率的普适性，结果支持其源于无标度性，并与分形扩散SOC模型预测一致。
摘要：
在本研究中，我们检验在银河系、河外及黑洞系统的天体物理观测中，流量（F）、注量或能量（E）的幂律斜率（α_F、α_E）在其尺度分布 N(F) ∝ F^{-α_F} 和 N(E) ∝ E^{-α_E} 中是否具有普适性。这对自组织临界性（SOC）系统而言是一项具有根本重要性的检验。该检验判定：（i）幂律是否是 SOC 系统无标度性和内在普适性的自然结果，还是（ii）它们依赖于更复杂的物理标度律。前一判据允许对类幂律尺度分布作出定量预测，而后一判据则要求针对每个 SOC 变量和数据集分别建立物理模型。我们利用 61 个已发表数据集进行的统计检验，为前一种选项提供了有力支持，这意味着观测到的幂律可以直接由无标度性导出，不需要特定物理模型来理解其统计分布。观测结果显示，SOC 流量的 α_F 均值和标准差为 1.78±0.29，SOC 注量的 α_E 为 1.66±0.22，因此与分形扩散 SOC 模型给出的 α_F=1.80、α_E=1.67 的预测相一致。
英文摘要：
In this study we are testing whether the power law slopes ($α_F$, $α_E$) of fluxes $(F)$, fluences or energies $(E)$ are universal in their size distributions, $N(F) \propto F^{-α_F}$ and $N(E) \propto E^{-α_E}$, in astrophysical observations of galactic, extragalactic, and black-hole systems. This is a test of fundamental importance for self-organized criticality (SOC) systems. The test decides whether (i) power laws are a natural consequence of the scale-freeness and inherent universality of SOC systems, or (ii) if they depend on more complex physical scaling laws. The former criterion allows quantitative predictions of the power law-like size distributions, while the later criterion requires individual physical modeling for each SOC variable and data set. Our statistical test, carried out with 61 published data sets, yields strong support for the former option, which implies that observed power laws can simply be derived from the scale-freeness and do not require specific physical models to understand their statistical distributions. The observations show a mean and standard deviation of $α_F=1.78\pm0.29$ for SOC fluxes, and $α_E=1.66\pm0.22$ for SOC fluences, and thus are consistent with the prediction of the fractal-diffusive SOC model, with $α_F=1.80$ and $α_E=1.67$.
