Disk-Jet quenching of the Galactic Black Hole SwiftJ1753.5-0127

چکیده
We report on radio and X-ray monitoring observations of the BHC Swift J1753.5-0127 taken over a ∼ 10 year period. Presented are daily radio observations at 15 GHz with the AMI-LA and X-ray data from Swift XRT and BAT. Also presented is a deep 2hr JVLA observation taken in an unusually low-luminosity soft-state (with a low disk temperature). We show that although the source has remained relatively radio-quiet compared to XRBs with a similar X-ray luminosity in the hard-state, the power-law relationship scales as ζ = 0.96 ± 0.06 i.e. slightly closer to what has been considered for radiatively inefficient accretion disks. We also place the most stringent limit to date on the radio-jet quenching in an XRB soft-state, showing the connection of the jet quenching to the X-ray power-law component; the radio flux in the soft-state was found to be < 21 μJy, which is a quenching factor of & 25.

Observational Evidence of Accretion Disk-caused Jet Precession in Galactic Nuclei
We show that the observational data of extragalactic radio sources tend to support the theoretical relationship between the jet precession period and the optical luminosity of the sources, as predicted by the model in which an accretion disk causes the central black hole to precess.

متن کاملThe Galactic Center radio jet
Recent observations of the radio and NIR source Sgr A* reinforce the interpretation of the Galactic Center as a scaled down version of an AGN. The discovery of an elongated structure at 43 GHz and increasing evidence for the presence of an accretion disk surrounding a Black Hole lead us to assume that both, an accretion disk and a jet, are present in the Galactic Center and are physically linke...
متن کاملGeneral Relativistic Simulations of Jet Formation in a Rapidly Rotating Black Hole Magnetosphere
To investigate the formation mechanism of relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei and micro-quasars, we have developed a new general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic code in Kerr geometry. Here we report on the first numerical simulation of jet formation in a rapidly-rotating (a = 0.95) Kerr black hole magnetosphere. We study cases in which the Keplerian accretion disk is both co-rotating a...
متن کاملThe Alignment of Disk and Black Hole Spins in Active Galactic Nuclei
The inner parts of an accretion disk around a spinning black hole are forced to align with the spin of the hole by the Bardeen-Petterson effect. Assuming that any jet produced by such a system is aligned with the angular momentum of either the hole or the inner disk, this can, in principle provide a mechanism for producing steady jets in AGN whose direction is independent of the angular momentu...
متن کاملTheGalactic Center – anAGN on a starvation diet
The Galactic Center shows evidence for the presence of three important AGN ingredients: a Black Hole (M• ∼ 10 M⊙), an accretion disk (10 −8.5 − 10M⊙/yr) and a powerful jet (jet power ≥ 10% disk luminosity). However, the degree of activity is very low and can barely account for the energetics of the whole central region. Neverthelss, in the very inner arsecond the central engine becomes dominant...
