An Iron K Component to the Ultrafast Outflow in Ngc 1313 X-1

چکیده
We present the detection of an absorption feature at = + E 8.77 0.06 0.05 keV in the combined X-ray spectrum of the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 1313 X-1 observed with XMM-Newton and NuSTAR, significant at the 3σ level. If associated with blueshifted ionized iron, the implied outflow velocity is ∼0.2c for Fe XXVI, or ∼0.25c for Fe XXV. These velocities are similar to the ultrafast outflow seen in absorption recently discovered in this source at lower energies by XMM-Newton, and we therefore conclude that this is an iron component to the same outflow. Photoionization modeling marginally prefers the Fe XXV solution, but in either case the outflow properties appear to be extreme, potentially supporting a super-Eddington hypothesis for NGC 1313 X-1.

Searching for massive outflows in Holmberg IX X - 1 and NGC 1313 X - 1 : the iron K band
We have analysed all the good quality XMM–Newton data publicly available for the bright ultraluminous X-ray sources Holmberg IX X-1 and NGC 1313 X-1, with the aim of searching for discrete emission or absorption features in the Fe K band that could provide observational evidence for the massive outflows predicted if these sources are accreting at substantially super-Eddington rates. We do not f...
متن کاملTHE ULTRALUMINOUS X-RAY SOURCES NGC 1313 X-1 AND X-2: A BROADBAND STUDY WITH NuSTAR AND XMM–Newton
We present the results of NuSTAR and XMM–Newton observations of the two ultraluminous X-ray sources NGC 1313 X-1 and X-2. The combined spectral bandpass of the two satellites enables us to produce the first spectrum of X-1 between 0.3 and 30keV, while X-2 is not significantly detected by NuSTAR above 10 keV. The NuSTAR data demonstrate that X-1 has a clear cutoff above 10 keV, whose presence wa...

Two ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in the nearby Sb galaxy NGC 1313, named X-1 and X-2, were observed with Suzaku on 2005 September 15. During the observation for a net exposure of 28 ks (but over a gross time span of 90 ks), both objects varied in intensity by about 50 %. The 0.4–10 keV X-ray luminosity of X-1 and X-2 was measured as 2.5× 10 erg s and 5.8× 10 erg s, respectively, with the ...

We present a summary of our ongoing efforts to study one of the brightest ultraluminous X-ray source, NGC 1313 X-2. Despite a large coverage in the X-rays, much of the information we have about the source and its environment comes from optical wavelenghts. Here, we report on the properties of the stellar environment, and the differences in the optical counterpart between our two observing epoch...
متن کاملEVIDENCE FOR A HIGH ENERGY CURVATURE IN THE XMM-Newton SPECTRUM OF THE ULX
ASCA X-ray spectra of many ULXs were described in terms of optically thick emission from hot (kTin ∼ 1− 2 keV) accretion disks, while recent XMM-Newton and Chandra observations have revealed a cool (kTin ∼ 0.2 keV), soft X-ray excess emission from a number of them. Here we utilize improved calibration and high signal-to-noise XMM-Newton spectra of NGC 1313 X-1 to present evidence for a cool (∼ ...
