The Iron Line Profile from Warped Black Hole Accretion Disks

نویسندگان

چکیده

The profile of the fluorescent iron line from black hole accretion disks is a powerful diagnostic properties, such as spin and inclination. state-of-the-art, however, considers an disk whose angular momentum aligned with that hole; this very constraining assumption which unlikely to apply many or even most astrophysical systems. Here, we present first simulation reflection spectrum warped using realistic model reflected emission based on xillver code. We effects radial location warp tilt angle have profile, highlight results are highly dependent azimuth position observer relative angle. fit these profiles in XSpec standard relxill lamppost quantify effect neglecting warps has inferred spins inclinations. show fits two-component can be used derive more accurate inclination estimates.

X-ray iron line reverberation from black hole accretion disks

The relativistically broad X-ray iron line seen in many AGN spectra is thought to originate from the central regions of the putative black hole accretion disk. Both the line profile and strength will vary in response to rapid variability of the primary X-ray continuum source. The temporal response of the line contains information on the accretion disk structure, the X-ray source geometry, and t...

Five ideas on black hole accretion disks

I review five of Bohdan Paczyński’s ideas on black hole accretion disk theory. They formed my understanding of the subject and often guided intuition in my research. They are fundamentally profound, rich in physical consequences, mathematically elegant and clever, and in addition are useful in several technically difficult practical applications.

Special relativistic e ects on the strength of the uorescentK iron line from black hole accretion disks

Special relativistic eeects on the strength of the uorescent K iron line from black hole accretion disks. ABSTRACT The broad iron K emission line, commonly seen in the X-ray spectrum of Seyfert nuclei, is thought to originate when the inner accretion disk is illuminated by an active disk-corona. We show that relative motion between the disk and the X-ray emitting material can have an important ...

Special relativistic effects on the strength of the fluorescent K α iron line from black hole accretion disks

The broad iron Kα emission line, commonly seen in the X-ray spectrum of Seyfert nuclei, is thought to originate when the inner accretion disk is illuminated by an active disk-corona. We show that relative motion between the disk and the X-ray emitting material can have an important influence on the observed equivalent width (EW) of this line via special relativistic aberration and Doppler effec...

Iron fluorescence from within the innermost stable orbit of black hole accretion disks

The fluorescent iron Kα line is a powerful observational probe of the inner regions of black holes accretion disks. Previous studies have assumed that only material outside the radius of marginal stability (r = 6m for a Schwarzschild hole) can contribute to the observed line emission. Here, we show that fluorescence by material inside the radius of marginal stability, which is in the process of...
