A truncated accretion disk in the galactic black hole candidate source H 1743 - 322

چکیده
To investigate the geometry of the accretion disk in the source H1743-322, we have carried out a detailed X-ray temporal and spectral study using RXTE pointed observations. We have selected all data pertaining to the Steep Power Law (SPL) state during the 2003 outburst of this source. We find anti-correlated hard X-ray lags in three of the observations and the changes in the spectral and timing parameters (like the QPO frequency) confirm the idea of a truncated accretion disk in this source. Compiling data from similar observations from other sources, we find a correlation between the fractional change in the QPO frequency and the observed delay. We suggest that these observations indicate a definite size scale in the inner accretion disk (the radius of the truncated disk) and we explain the observed correlation using various disk parameters like Compton cooling time scale, viscous time scale etc..

Simultaneous Chandra and Rxte Spectroscopy of the Microquasar H 1743−322: Clues to Disk Wind and Jet Formation from a Variable Ionized Outflow
We observed the bright phase of the 2003 outburst of the Galactic black hole candidate H 1743−322 in Xrays simultaneously with Chandra and RXTE on four occasions. The Chandra/HETGS spectra reveal narrow, variable (He-like) Fe XXV and (H-like) Fe XXVI resonance absorption lines. In the first observation, the Fe XXVI line has a FWHM of 1800± 400 km/s and a blue-shift of 700± 200 km/s, suggesting ...
متن کاملINTEGRAL observations of the black hole candidate H 1743−322 in outburst
INTEGRAL made 3 observations in 2003 April of the black hole candidate H 1743−322 during the rising part, and close to the maximum, of an outburst. H 1743−322 was previously observed in outburst in 1977–1978. The source is located in a crowded region of the sky (l = 357, b = −2) and at least 18 sources are clearly detected in the field of view of the ISGRI gamma-ray imager during a 277 ks expos...
متن کاملAnti-correlated Hard X-ray Time Lag in Grs 1915+105: Evidence for a Truncated Accretion Disc
Multi-wavelength observations of Galactic black hole candidate sources indicate a close connection between the accretion disk emission and the jet emission. The recent discovery of an anti-correlated time lag between the soft and hard X-rays in Cygnus X-3 (Choudhury & Rao 2004) constrains the geometric picture of the diskjet connection into a truncated accretion disk, the truncation radius bein...
متن کاملGalactic black hole transient H 1743 − 322 during outburst decay : connections between timing noise , state transitions and radio emission
Multi-wavelength observations of Galactic black hole transients during outburst decay are instrumental for our understanding of the accretion geometry and the formation of outflows around black hole systems. H1743−322, a black hole transient observed intensely in X-rays and also covered in the radio band during its 2003 decay, provides clues about the changes in accretion geometry during state ...
متن کاملThe very high state accretion disk structure from the galactic black hole transient XTE J 1550 - 564
We use the 1998 outburst of the bright Galactic black hole binary system XTE J1550-564 to constrain the accretion disk structure in the strongly Comptonised, very high state spectral state. We show that the disk emission is not easily compatible with the constant area L ∝ T 4 behaviour seen during the disk dominated high/soft state. Even after correcting for the effects of the scattering geomet...
