High-Energy Spectra From Black-Hole Candidates

نویسنده

چکیده

Our knowledge of the high-energy emission spectra from black-hole candidates has increased enormously with missions like BeppoSAX and RossiXTE, thanks to their broad-band window. I present the main and most solid points of this current knowledge, both in terms of detailed spectral modeling of X-ray broad-band spectra, and more generally in relation to the “black-hole state paradigm”, which links spectral and timing properties of accretion disks. Finally, through the discussion of recent results on two systems, XTE J1650-500 and GX 339-4, I present evidence for a new view of the state paradigm.

Observations of Gamma-Ray Outbursts from Galactic Microquasars

The BATSE earth-occultation database provides nine years of coverage for 75 γ-ray sources in the energy range 35− 1700 keV. For transient sources, this long time-base dataset makes it possible to study the repeated outbursts from individual objects. We have used the JPL data analysis package EBOP (Enhanced BATSE Occultation Package) to derive the light curves and the time evolution of the spect...

Spectral Properties of Black Holes in Gamma Rays

Black holes are the most compact objects in the universe. Therefore, matter accreting onto is likely to radiate photons of energy comparable to very high gravitational potential energy. We discuss the nature of the emitted radiation in Xrays and gamma-rays from black hole candidates. We present theoretical solutions which comprise both Keplerian and sub-Keplerian components and suggest that sho...

Spectral Properties of Accretion Disks Around Black Holes II – Sub-Keplerian Flows With and Without Shocks

Close to a black hole, the density of the sub-Keplerian accreting matter becomes higher compared to a spherical flow due to the presence of a centrifugal barrier independent of whether or not a standing shock actually forms. This hot dense flow intercepts soft photons from a cold Keplerian disk and reprocesses them to form high energy X-rays and gamma rays. We study the spectral properties of v...

Energy dependence in the quasi-periodic oscillations and noise of black hole candidates in the very high state

Wepresent the results of an energy-dependent timing analysis of Ginga data from the black hole candidates GS 112468 and GX 339-4 in their Very High State (VHS). Large variations with energy of the timing properties are seen in both sources. The break frequency of the band-limited noise increases with energy, indicating considerable spectral changes on sub-second timescales. Quasi-periodic oscil...

A Chandra Spectroscopic Survey of Persistent Black Hole Candidates

We present results from observations of persistent black hole candidates with the High Energy Transmission Gratings aboard the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The sources include LMC X-1, LMC X-3, GRS 1758-258, and Cyg X-1. Along with the published results on 1E1740.7-2942, we have completed a high-resolution spectroscopic survey of such systems. The observed X-ray spectra of LMC X1 and LMC X-3 show...
