利用AstroSat对活动星系核远紫外与软X射线发射的光谱联系进行研究,揭示了康普顿化区域的大小和自转参数的限制,以及状态转变的可能。

摘要:

我们利用AstroSat上的紫外成像望远镜和软X射线望远镜获取的数据,对四个Seyfert 1星系(PG 0804+761、NGC 7469、SWIFT J1921.1-5842和SWIFT J1835.0+3240)进行了紫外/X射线联合光谱分析。我们使用OPTXAGNF和FAGNSED模型对内在的紫外/X射线连续谱进行建模,其中盘种子光子在暖和热的反冲区中被康普顿化。四个Seyfert的爱丁顿比范围从0.01到1。在SWIFT J1835.0+3240的情况下,我们推断出一个紧凑的暖反冲区(R_warm - R_hot ≲ 18 r_g),而PG 0804+761、NGC 7469和SWIFT J1921.1-5842可能表现出更大的暖康普顿化区域(≈32 r_g)。我们能够通过FAGNSED模型对PG 0804+761的自转参数进行限制,a* = 0.76±0.20(1σ误差)。在SWIFT J1835.0+3240和SWIFT J1921.1-5842中,紫外/X射线光谱的变异性可能由热康普顿化驱动,即盘种子光子在热反冲区中被康普顿化。此外,观测到的光谱变硬与盘温度和吸积率相比早期观测的降低可能表明SWIFT J1835.0+3240从高/软态向低/硬态发生了状态转变。

英文摘要:

We present the UV/X-ray joint spectral analyses of four Seyfert~1 galaxies (PG 0804+761, NGC 7469, SWIFT J1921.1-5842, and SWIFT J1835.0+3240) using the data acquired with the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope and Soft X-ray Telescope onboard AstroSat. We model the intrinsic UV/X-ray continuum with the accretion disk, warm and hot Comptonization using the OPTXAGNF and FAGNSED models, where the disk seed photons are Comptonized in the warm and hot corona. The Eddington ratio of the four Seyferts ranges from 0.01 to 1. In the case of SWIFT J1835.0$+$3240, we infer a compact warm corona ($ R_{warm} - R_{hot} \lesssim 18 r_{g}$) while, PG 0804+761, NGC 7469, and SWIFT J1921.1-5842 may exhibit a larger warm Comptonizing region ($\gtrsim 32r_{g}$). We could constrain the spin parameter in PG 0804+761, $a^{\star} = 0.76_{-0.20}^{+0.08}$ (1$σ$ error), with the FAGNSED model. In SWIFT J1835.0+3240 and SWIFT J1921.1-5842, the UV/X-ray spectral variability may be driven by the thermal Comptonization of the disk seed photons in the hot corona. Furthermore, the observed spectral hardening with the decrease in disk temperature and accretion rate compared to earlier observations may indicate a state transition in SWIFT J1835.0+3240 from a high/soft to a low/hard state.
