摘要:

准周期喷发(QPEs)是最近在银河系核区发现的明亮软X射线爆发。它们在小时到周的时间尺度上重复出现,叠加在原本稳定的X射线水平上,与围绕相对低质量MBHs的辐射有效吸积流的发射一致。尽管其物理起源仍存在争议,但其准周期性自然出现在'冲击模型'中,其中X射线爆发是由一个sBH或一颗在中心MBH附近近轨道上运行的恒星与由潮汐破坏事件(TDE)形成的吸积盘的相互作用产生的。虽然该模型与QPEs的现象学一致,但尚不清楚这种特定的物理配置是否足够普遍以解释观测到的QPE数量密度。我们在此框架内提出了首个端到端的QPE率和丰度的定量计算。为此,我们结合了围绕MBHs的TDEs和极端质量比 inspirals(EMRIs)的速率,覆盖了质量范围的MBHs。我们使用公共代码PhaseFlow来模拟七个系统,其中MBH质量在10^5 M_太阳到10^8 M_太阳之间,每个系统周围都有一个三组分人口:一组由1M_太阳的恒星组成,另外两组由质量为10M_太阳和40 M_太阳的sBH组成。基于文献中可用的发射约束,我们限制到sBH EMRIs的近轨道,偏心率e<0.5和相对于吸积盘的倾角ι<20度。对于恒星EMRIs,约束来自要求恒星避免潮汐破坏。我们发现预测的QPE数量密度范围在10^-12 Mpc^-3到10^-6 Mpc^-3之间,取决于假设的轨道周期区间和采用的偏心率和倾角阈值。

英文摘要:

Quasi Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) are luminous bursts of soft X-rays recently discovered in galactic nuclei. They repeat on timescales of hours to weeks, superimposed to an otherwise stable quiescent X-ray level, consistent with emission from a radiatively efficient accretion flow around relatively low-mass MBHs. Although their physical origin is still debated, their quasi-periodicity naturally arises within the 'impact model', in which the X-ray bursts are generated by the interaction between an sBH or a star in a close orbit around the central MBH and the accretion disk formed by a tidal disruption event (TDE). While this model is consistent with the phenomenology of QPEs, it remains unclear whether such specific physical configurations are sufficiently commonto explain the observed QPE number density. We present the first end-to-end quantitative calculation of the expected QPE rate and abundance within the framework of the impact model. To this purpose, we combine the rates of TDEs and extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) around MBHs spanning a range of masses masses. We employ the public code \textsc{PhaseFlow} to simulate seven systems with MBH masses between $10^5 M_\odot$ and $10^8 M_\odot$, each sourronded by a three-component population: one composed of $1M_\odot$ stars, and two consisting of sBHs with masses of $10M_\odot$ and $40 M_\odot$. Based on the emission constraints available in the literature, we restrict to sBH EMRIs on prograde orbit with eccentricity $e<0.5$ and inclination $ι<20^{\circ}$ with respect to the accretion disk. For stellar EMRIs the constraints instead arise from the requirement that the star avoid tidal disruption. We find that the predicted QPE number density spans the range $10^{-12} \rm Mpc^{-3}$ to $10^{-6} \rm Mpc^{-3}$, depending on the assumed orbital period interval and on the adopted eccentricity and inclination thresholds.
