通过多历元VLA射电观测和X射线数据,研究核瞬变源IGR J12580+0134的晚期射电再增亮,提出其可能由重复部分潮汐瓦解事件解释,并建模为亚相对论性外流。

摘要:

重复部分潮汐瓦解事件(pTDEs)为研究超大质量黑洞周围的恒星轨道和间歇性质量损失提供了直接探针,但可靠识别需要多波段和多历元证据。我们利用多历元Karl G. Jansky VLA观测以及Swift/XRT和NICER的X射线约束,研究了NGC 4845中核瞬变源IGR J12580+0134的晚期射电再增亮是否可解释为重复pTDE。通过对射电数据的系统分析,我们识别出两个明确的射电耀发和一个可能的第三次晚期再增亮耀发。使用马尔可夫链蒙特卡洛拟合对第二个耀发进行同步辐射余辉框架建模,结果与亚相对论性外流一致,其特征速度约为v ≃ 0.3c,各向同性等效动能约为10^50 erg,以及近似恒定密度的核周介质。在2016年射电耀发期间,Swift/XRT未探测到显著的同期增亮,而2023年NICER的微弱耀发表明存在间歇性低水平吸积。我们还考虑了晚期射电再增亮的几种可能解释,发现重复pTDE情景为观测现象提供了更自然的整体解释。鉴于目前数据覆盖稀疏,持续的灵敏射电和X射线监测对于检验这一解释并寻找未来重新激活至关重要。

英文摘要:

Repeating partial tidal disruption events (pTDEs) provide a direct probe of stellar orbits and episodic mass loss around supermassive black holes, but robust identification requires multi-band and multi-epoch evidence. %consistent with a single physical origin. We investigate whether the late-time radio rebrightening of the nuclear transient IGR~J12580+0134 in NGC~4845 can be explained as a repeating pTDE, using multi-epoch Karl G.\ Jansky VLA observations together with X-ray constraints from \textit{Swift}/XRT and \textit{NICER}. Through a systematic analysis of the radio data, we identify two well-defined radio flares and a possible third late-time rebrightening flare. Modeling the second flare with a synchrotron afterglow framework using Markov Chain Monte Carlo fitting is consistent with a sub-relativistic outflow with a characteristic velocity of order ${v \simeq 0.3c}$, an isotropic-equivalent kinetic energy of order ${10^{50}}$ erg, and an approximately constant-density circumnuclear medium. No significant contemporaneous brightening is detected by \textit{Swift}/XRT during the 2016 radio flare, while faint \textit{NICER} flares in 2023 suggest intermittent low-level accretion. We also considered several possible interpretations for the late-time radio rebrightening, and found that the repeated pTDE scenario provides a more natural overall explanation for the observed phenomenology. Given the currently sparse data coverage, continued sensitive radio and X-ray monitoring will be essential to test this interpretation and to search for future reactivations.
