X-ray Line Emission from Evaporating and Condensing Accretion Disk Atmospheres
We model the X-rays reprocessed by an accretion disk in a fiducial low-mass X-ray binary system with a neutron star primary. An atmosphere, or the intermediate region between the optically thick disk and a Compton-temperature corona, is photoionized by the neutron star continuum. X-ray lines from the recombination of electrons with ions dominate the atmosphere emission and should be observable ...
متن کاملEstimation of relativistic accretion disk parameters from iron line emission
The observed iron Kα fluorescence lines in Seyfert I galaxies provide strong evidence for an accretion disk near a supermassive black hole as a source of the emission. Here we present an analysis of the geometrical and kinematic properties of the disk based on the extreme frequency shifts of a line profile as determined by measurable flux in both the red and blue wings. The edges of the line ar...
متن کاملLine Emission from an Accretion Disk Around a Black Hole: Effects of Disk Structure
The observed iron Kα fluorescence lines in Seyfert I galaxies provide strong evidence for an accretion disk near a supermassive black hole as a source of the line emission. These lines serve as powerful probes for examining the structure of inner regions of accretion disks. Previous studies of line emission have considered geometrically thin disks only, where the gas moves along geodesics in th...
متن کاملLine emission from an accretion disk around black hole: effects of the disk structure
The observed iron Kα fluorescence lines in Seyfert galaxies provide strong evidence for an accretion disk near a supermassive black hole as a source of the line emission. Previous studies of line emission have considered only geometrically thin disks, where the gas moves along geodesics in the equatorial plane of a black hole. Here we extend this work to include effects on line profiles from fi...
متن کاملEmission Line Formation in a Relativistic Accretion Disk
The observed profile of spectral lines from a relativistic accretion disk can constrain parameters such as the disk geometry and the rotation of the central black hole. The formation of the spectral line in a disk generally has been modeled with simple assumptions such as local isotropy of emission. Here we consider line formation in the presence of velocity gradients induced by the differentia...
