摘要:

最近,在三个银河系黑洞微类星体中观察到了3:2的双峰QPO,其频率已被证明为1/M,正如黑洞附近的广义相对论运动所预期的那样。也许可以扩展这一结果,以区分以下两种不同的模型,这两种模型是针对令人费解的超亮X射线源(ULX)提出的:(1)中等质量的黑洞(M ~1000太阳质量)辐射非常接近爱丁顿极限;(2)常规的黑洞(M ~ 10太阳质量)以高的超爱丁顿速率吸积,其辐射沿自转轴传播。我们认为,这可能是可能的,以区分这些模型通过检测对应的银河双峰QPO在ULX:预期的频率为中等质量的黑洞模型只有约1赫兹,而对于传统的黑洞模型的预期频率将是~100赫兹的值观察到的银河微类星体。

英文摘要:

Recently, twin-peak QPOs have been observed in a 3:2 ratio for three Galactic black-hole microquasars with frequencies that have been shown to scale as 1/M, as expected for general relativisitic motion near a black hole. It may be possible to extend this result to distinguish between the following two disparate models that have been proposed for the puzzling ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs): (1) an intermediate-mass black hole M ~1000 solar mass) radiating very near the Eddington limit and (2) a conventional black hole (M ~ 10 solar mass) accreting at a highly super-Eddington rate with its emission beamed along the rotation axis. We suggest that it may be possible to distinguish between these models by detecting the counterpart of a Galactic twin-peak QPO in a ULX: the expected frequency for the intermediate-mass black hole model is only about 1 Hz, whereas, for the conventional black hole model the expected frequency would be the ~100 Hz value observed for the Galactic microquasars.
