Three-dimensional numerical hydrodynamical modeling of a radiative wind and accretion disk in a close binary system with a compact object is carried out, using the massive X-ray binary LMC X-3 as an example. This system contains a precessing disk, and may have relativistic jets. These computations show that an accretion disk with a radius of about 0.20 (in units of the component separation) forms from the radiative wind from the donor when the action of the wind on the central source is taken into account, when the accretion rate is equal to the observed value (about 3.0 × 10?8 M ⊙/year, which corresponds to the case when the donor overflows its Roche lobe by nearly 1%). It is assumed that the speed of the donor wind at infinity is about 2200 km/s. The disk that forms is geometrically thick and nearly cylindrical in shape, with a low-density tunnel at its center extending from the accretor through the disk along the rotational axis. We have also modeled a flare in the disk due to short-term variations in the supply of material through the Lagrange point L1, whose brightnesses and durations are able to explain flares in cataclysmic variables and X-ray binaries. The accretion disk is not formed when the donor underfills its Roche lobe by 0.5%, which corresponds to an accretion rate onto the compact object of 2.0 × 10?9 M ⊙/year. In place of a disk, an accretion envelope with a radius of about 0.03 forms, within which gas moves along very steep spiral trajectories before falling onto the compact object. As in the accretion-disk case, a tunnel forms along the rotational axis of the accretion envelope; a shock forms behind the accretor, where flares occur in a compact region a small distance from the accretor at a rate of about six flares per orbital period, with amplitudes of about 10 m or more. The flare durations are two to four minutes, and the energies of individual particles at the flare maximum are about 100–150 keV. These flares appear to be analogous to the flares observed in gamma-ray and X-ray burst sources. We accordingly propose a model in which these phenomena are associated with massive, close X-ray binary systems with component-mass ratios exceeding unity, in which the donor does not fill its Roche lobe. Although no accretion disk forms around the compact object, an accretion region develops near the accretor, where the gamma-ray and X-ray flares occur.  相似文献

We have carried out three-dimensional hydrodynamical modeling of the formation of an accretion disk around a compact object due to radiative wind of a massive donor in a close binary system. The massive X-ray binary Cen X-3, which has a precessing accretion disk and may possess relativistic jets, is considered as an example. The computations show that, when the action of the central compact object on the formation of the wind is taken into account, the radiative wind forms an accretion disk with a radius of 0.16 (in units of the orbital separation), which accretes at a rate close to 1 × 10?8 M ⊙/yr. In this model, the disk is spherically symmetrical and geometrically thick, with a tunnel going from the accretor to the upper layers of the disk along the accretor’s rotational axis at the disk center. The number density of the gas in the tunnel is five orders of magnitude lower than in the disk. The wind-disk interaction at the outer boundary of the disk produces a strong shock (wind-disk shock) directed toward the donor. The black-body emission of the disk and tunnel is nonstationary, and resembles the outbursts observed in Cen X-3. An analysis of the location of the region of nonstationary emission suggests that the outbursts occur in the wind-disk shock.  相似文献

We analyze the late stages of evolution of massive (M 0 ? 8 M ⊙) close binaries, from the point of view of possible mechanisms for the generation of gamma-ray bursts. It is assumed that a gamma-ray burst requires the formation of a massive (～1 M ⊙), compact (R ? 10 km) accretion disk around a Kerr black hole or neutron star. Such Kerr black holes are produced by core collapses of Wolf-Rayet stars in very close binaries, as well as by mergers of neutron stars and black holes or two neutron stars in binaries. The required accretion disks can also form around neutron stars that were formed via the collapse of ONeMg white dwarfs. We estimate the Galactic rate of events resulting in the formation of rapidly rotating relativistic objects. The computations were carried out using the “Scenario Machine.”  相似文献

The formation of gaseous diffusional accretion-decretion disks is an important stage in the evolution of numerous astronomical objects. Matter is accreted onto the object in the accretion part of these disks, while the angular momentum of the accreted matter is transported from the central region to the periphery in the decretion part. Here, we consider general questions connected with the formation and evolution of diffusive accretion-decretion disks in various astrophysical objects. Such disks can be described using nonstationary diffusion models. The phenomenological parameters of these models are the coefficients in the relations for the characteristic turbulent velocity and mean free path of diffusion elements in the disk. We have developed a numerical technique to compute the disk evolution for a number of models (a massive disk, a disk with continuous accretion, a purely decretion disk). Analytical expressions estimating the basic parameters of accretion-decretion disks are presented. We discuss the relationship between the models considered and the classical α model of an accretion disk.  相似文献

It is shown that a model with accretion in a “quasi-propeller” mode can explain the observed spindown of pulsars with periods P<0.1 s. The mean accretion rate for 39 selected objects is \(\dot M = 5.6 \times 10^{ - 11} M_ \odot /year\). If \(\dot M\) is constant during the pulsar’s lifetime, the neutron star will stop rotating after 107 years. The mean magnetic field at the neutron-star surface calculated in this model, \(\bar H_0 = 6.8 \times 10^8 G\), is consistent to an order of magnitude with the values of H0 for millisecond pulsars from known catalogs. However, the actual value of H0 for particular objects can differ from the catalog values by appreciable factors, and these quantities must be recalculated using more adequate models. The accretion disk around the neutron star should not impede the escape of the pulsar’s radiation, since this radiation is generated near the light cylinder in pulsars with P<0.1 s. Pulsars such as PSR 0531+21 and PSR 0833-45 have probably spun down due to the effect of magnetic-dipole radiation. If the difference in the braking indices for these objects from n=3 is due to the effect of accretion, the accretion rate must be of the order of 1018 g/s.  相似文献

Accretion disks around young binary stars are subject to strong forces exerted by the system components. Gas–dynamical interactions excite strong non-linear perturbations in the disk, which can give rise to turbulence. This study considers a mechanism for the excitation of turbulence based on the instability of non-linear waves in a rotating flow. It is shown that the spectrum of non-linear perturbations excited in the inner part of the disk leads to turbularization of the flow. Estimates of the Shakura–Syunyaev index, α ～ 0.01?0.05, are obtained for use in numerical models of accretion disks.  相似文献

An MHD model for the formation of a jet in the vicinity of a compact object with a supersonic accretion regime is constructed, assuming that the plasma is perfectly electrically conducting. A stable, collimated jet of plasma along the z axis symmetric about the plane of the accretion disk is obtained. The parameters of the jet are in good agreement-with available observational data on the structure and properties of jets.  相似文献

R-band photometric light curves of the eruptive eclipsing binary SDSS J090350.73+330036.1 obtained during a superoutburst in May 2010 (JD 2455341-2455347) are analyzed. Observations covering an interval near the outburst maximum and the post-maximum decrease by 0.7 m are presented. Oscillations (superhumps) whose period differs from the orbital period by several percent are observed in the light curve together with eclipses, suggesting that the studied system is a SU UMa dwarf nova. A ??spiral arm?? model is used to fit the light curves and determine the parameters of the accretion disk and other components of the binary system. Together with a hot line, this model takes into account, geometrical inhomogeneities on the surface of the accretion disk, namely, two thickenings at its outer edge that decrease exponentially in the vertical direction with approach toward the white dwarf. The increase in the R-band flux from the system during the superoutburst mainly results from the enhanced luminosity of the accretion disk due to the increase in its radius by up to ??0.44a 0 at the outburst maximum (a 0 is the component separation), as well as a shallower radial temperature decrease law than in the canonical case. As the superoutburst faded, the disk radius decreased smoothly at the end of our observation (to ??0.33a 0), the thickness of its outer edge and temperature of its boundary layer decreased, and the parameter ?? g approached its canonical value. Deviations from the mean brightness of the system as a function of the superhump period P sh are analyzed for each out-of-eclipse set of observations. Various factors affecting the appearance and amplitudes of superhumps in the orbital light curves are considered.  相似文献

We have modeled the Hα, Hβ, and Hγ (Balmer series), P14 (Paschen series), and Brγ (Brackett series) hydrogen lines formed in the inner regions of the accretion disk around the Herbig Ae star UX Ori. Our calculations are based on spectra obtained with the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) and the IRTF. We computed a grid of non-LTE models for a radiating area in the accretion disk and determined the basic parameters of the lines using the method of Sobolev. Analyzing the theoretical and observed line profiles, equivalent widths, and luminosities, we have estimated the accretion rate and electron-temperature distribution in the inner parts of the accretion disk. The accretion rate of UX Ori is about $\dot M_a = (3 - 10) \times 10^{ - 9} M_ \odot /yr$ , and the temperature distribution is consistent with the power law T(r)=T(r *)(r/r *)?1/n , where the electron temperature near the stellar surface T(r *) is 15000–20000 K and the power-law index n≈2–3 is about two to three. The resulting value for $\dot M_a $ eliminates problems connected with the application of magnetospheric accretion models to Herbig Ae/Be stars. Another important conclusion is that, at the estimated accretion rate, the energy release is substantially (about two orders of magnitude) lower than the stellar luminosity. Therefore, the optical radiation of UX Ori accretion disks cannot appreciably contribute to the observed variability of these stars, which must be determined mainly by variability in the circumstellar extinction.  相似文献

We present the results of studies of the superfine structure of H2O maser sources in the Orion Nebula. Powerful, low-velocity, compact maser sources are distributed in eight active zones. Highly organized structures in the form of chains of compact components were revealed in two of these, in the molecular cloud OMC-1. The component sizes are ～0.1 AU and their brightness temperatures are T b =1012?1016 K. The structures correspond to tangential sections of concentric rings viewed edge-on. The ring emission is concentrated in the azimuthal plane, decreasing the probability of their discovery. The formation of protostars is accompanied by the development of accretion disks and bipolar flows, with associated H2O maser emission. The accretion disks are in the stage of fragmentation into protoplanetary rings. In a Keplerian approximation, the protostars have low masses, possibly evidence for instability of the systems. Supermaser emission of the rings is probably triggered by precession of the accretion disk. The molecular cloud’s radial velocity is V LSR=7.74 km/s and its optical depth is τ≈5. The emission from components with velocities within the maser window is additionally amplified. The components’ emission is linearly polarized via anisotropic pumping.  相似文献

The results of three-dimensional modeling of the flow structure in the classical symbiotic system Z Andromedae are presented. Outbursts in systems of this type occur when the accretion rate exceeds the upper limit of the steady-burning range. Therefore, in order to realize the transition from a quiescent to an active state, it is necessary to find a mechanism capable of sufficiently increasing the accretion rate on the time scales typical for outburst development. Our calculations provide support for a mechanism for the transition from quiescence to outburst in classical symbiotic systems suggested earlier based on two-dimensional calculations (Bisikalo et al., 2002). Our results show that an accretion disk forms in the system for a wind velocity of 20 km s?1. The accretion rate for the solution with the disk is ～22.5–25% of the mass-loss rate of the donor, which is ～4.5?5 × 10?8M⊙ yr?1 for Z And. This value is in agreement with the steady-burning range for the white-dwarf masses usually accepted for this system. When the wind velocity increases from 20 to 30 km s?1, the accretion disk is destroyed and the disk material falls onto the accretor surface. This process is followed by an approximately twofold jump in the accretion rate. The resulting growth in the accretion rate is sufficient so as to exceed the upper limit of the steady-burning range, thus bringing the system into an active state. The time during which the accretion rate is above the steady-burning value is in very good agreement with observations. Our analysis leads us to conclude that small variations in the donor wind velocity can lead to the transition from disk accretion to wind accretion and, as a consequence, to the transition from a quiescent to an active state in classical symbiotic stars.  相似文献

We present the results of three-dimensional numerical simulations of flow structures in binary systems with spiral shock waves. Variations of the mass-transfer rate perturb the equilibrium state of the accretion disk; consequently, a condensation (blob) behind the shock breaks away from the shock front and moves through the disk with variable speed. Our computations indicate that the blob is a long-lived formation, whose mean parameters do not vary substantially on timescales of several tens of orbital periods of the system. The presence of the spiral shocks maintains the compact blob in the disk: it prevents the blob from spreading due to the differential motion of matter in the disk, and dissipative spreading on this timescale is negligible. A number of cataclysmic variables display periodic or quasi-periodic photometric variations in their light curves with characteristic periods ～0.1–0.2P orb, where P orb is the orbital period. The blobs formed in systems with spiral shock waves are examined as a possible origin for these variations. The qualitative (and, in part, quantitative) agreement between our computations and observations of IP Peg and EX Dra provides evidence for the efficacy of the proposed model.  相似文献

Observations of X-ray binaries indicate substantial half-thicknesses for the accretion disks in these systems (up to h/R ≈ 0.25, where h is the disk half-thickness and R its radius), while standard α accretion disks predict appreciably smaller half-thicknesses. We study the theoretical vertical structure of such disks using two independent numerical methods, and show that their maximum half-thicknesses in the subcritical regime cannot exceed h/R ≈ 0.1. We consider various reasons for the apparent increase in the disk thickness, the most probable of which is the presence of matter above the disk in the form of a hot corona that scatters hard radiation from the central source and inner parts of the disk. As a result, the observed thickness of the disk and the illumination of its outer parts effectively increase. This mechanism can also explain both the optical-to-X-ray flux ratio in these systems and the observed parameters of eclipsing X-ray binaries.  相似文献

Three-dimensional hydrodynamical modeling of the formation of the accretion disk in the SS 433 binary system is carried out with various types of cooling and numerical grids. These computations show that a thick accretion disk with a height of 0.25–0.30 (in units of the component separation) is formed around the compact object, from a flow with a large radius (0.2–0.3 in the same units) that forms in the vicinity of the inner Lagrangian point. This disk has the form of a flattened torus. The number of orbits of a particle of gas in the disk is 100–150, testifying to a minimal influence of numerical viscosity in these computations. The computations also show that the stream flowing from L1 is nearly conservative, and spirals in the disk are not formed due to the influence of the donor gravitation.  相似文献

A possible model for the pulsar PSR J1852+0040 associated with the supernova remnant Kes 79 and detected in place of a central compact object in this remnant is discussed. The main observational properties of the pulsar can be understood as consequences of its weak surface magnetic field (B s < 3 × 1011 G) and short rotational period (P ～ 0.1 s). Its X-ray emission is thermal, and is generated in a small region near the surface of the neutron star due to cooling of the surface as the surface accretes matter from a relict disk surrounding the pulsar. The radio emission is generated in the outer layers of the pulsar magnetosphere by the synchrotron (cyclotron) mechanism. The optical luminosity of J1852+0040 is estimated to be L opt < 1028 erg/s. If the spectral features in another central compact object, 1E 1207.4+5209, are interpreted as electron cyclotron lines, this provides evidence for a weak surface magnetic field for this neutron star as well (B < 6 × 1010 G). The hypothesis that all central compact objects have weak surface fields makes it possible to explain the number of detected central compact objects, the absence of pulsar-wind nebulae associated with these objects, and the fact that no pulsar has yet been detected at the position of SN 1987a. We suggest that, after the supernova remnant has dissipated, the central compact object becomes a weak X-ray source (XDINS), whose weak emission is also due to the weakness of its magnetic field.  相似文献

We present results of two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of mass transfer in the close binary system β Lyr for various radii of the accreting star and coefficients describing the interaction of the gaseous flow and the main component (primary). We take the stellar wind of the donor star into account and consider various assumptions about the radiative cooling of the gaseous flow. Our calculations show that the initial radius of the flow corresponding to our adopted mass-transfer rate through the inner Lagrange point (L1) of (1–4) × 10?5M⊙/yr is large: 0.22–0.29 (in units of the orbital separation). In all the models, the secondary loses mass through both the inner and outer (L1 and L2) Lagrange points, which makes the mass transfer in the system nonconservative. Calculations for various values of the primary radius show a strong dependence on the coefficient fv that models the flow-primary interaction. When the radius of the primary is 0.5, there is a strong interaction between the gas flow from L1 and the flow reflected from the primary surface. For other values of the primary radius (0.1 and 0.2), the flow does not interact directly with the primary. The flow passes close to the primary and forms an accretion disk whose size is comparable to that of the Roche lobe and a dense circum-binary envelope surrounding both the disk and the binary components. The density in the disk varies from 1012 to 1014 cm?3, and is 1010–1012 cm?3 in the circum-binary envelope. The temperature in the accretion disk ranges from 30000 to 120000 K, while that in the circum-binary envelope is 4000–18000 K. When radiative cooling is taken into account explicitly, the calculations reveal the presence of a spiral shock in the accretion disk. The stellar wind blowing from the secondary strongly interacts with the accretion disk, circum-binary envelope, and flow from L2. When radiative cooling is taken into account explicitly, this wind disrupts the accretion disk.  相似文献

We analyze heating and cooling processes in accretion disks in binaries. For realistic parameters of the accretion disks in close binaries (\(\dot M \simeq 10^{ - 12} - 10^7 M_ \odot /yr\) and α?10?1–10?2), the gas temperature in the outer parts of the disk is from ～104 to ～106 K. Our previous gas-dynamical studies of mass transfer in close binaries indicate that, for hot disks (with temperatures for the outer parts of the disk of several hundred thousand K), the interaction between the stream from the inner Lagrange point and the disk is shockless. To study the morphology of the interaction between the stream and a cool accretion disk, we carried out three-dimensional modeling of the flow structure in a binary for the case when the gas temperature in the outer parts of the forming disk does not exceed 13 600 K. The flow pattern indicates that the interaction is again shockless. The computations provide evidence that, as is the case for hot disks, the zone of enhanced energy release (the “hot line”) is located beyond the disk and originates due to the interaction between the circumdisk halo and the stream.  相似文献

We have calculated profiles of the CIV 1550, NV 1240, OVI 1035, and SiIV 1400 resonance doublets for a plane-parallel shock viewed at various angles. Calculations were performed for the range of preshock gas velocities V0 and gas densities ρ0 appropriate for classical T Tauri stars. The parameters of accretion shocks in young stars can be determined by comparing the calculated and observed profiles of the studied lines and their relative intensities. It is not possible to derive the parameters of the accreting gas from the line profiles without knowing the geometry of the accretion zone. The relation I v (µ,V0,ρ0) for a plane shock, where I v is the intensity μ=cosθ, can be used to determine the accretion parameters by either choosing a geometry for the radiating region or using a technique similar to Doppler tomography. The results obtained for DR Tau, T Tau, and RY Tau indicate that, in contrast to current concepts, the inner regions of the accretion disk are not disrupted by the magnetic field of the star, and the disk reaches the stellar surface. As a result, only a small fraction of the accreted matter passes through the shock and falls onto the star.  相似文献

We interpret the observed radial-velocity curve of the optical star in the low-mass X-ray binary 2S 0921-630 using a Roche model, taking into account the X-ray heating of the optical star and screening of X-rays coming from the relativistic object by the accretion disk. Consequences of possible anisotropy of the X-ray radiation are considered. We obtain relations between the masses of the optical and compact (X-ray) components, m v and m x , for orbital inclinations i = 60°, 75°, and 90°. Including X-ray heating enabled us to reduce the compact object’s mass by ～0.5–1 M ⊙, compared to the case with no heating. Based on the K0III spectral type of the optical component (with a probable mass of m v ? 2.9 M ⊙), we concluded that m x ? 2.45?2.55 M ⊙ (for i = 75°?90°). If the K0III star has lost a substantial part of its mass as a result of mass exchange, as in the V404 Cyg and GRS 1905+105 systems, and its mass is m v ? 0.65?0.75 M ⊙, the compact object’s mass is close to the standard mass of a neutron star, m x ? 1.4 M ⊙ (for i = 75°?90°). Thus, it is probable that the X-ray source in the 2S 0921-630 binary is an accreting neutron star.  相似文献

The four well studied spiral galaxies M33, M81, M100, and M101 are used to analyze the dependences of the star-formation rate (SFR) and star-formation efficiency (SFE = SFR/M gas ) on galactocentric distance R and the photometric and some kinematic parameters of galactic disks. The dependences SFR(R) were estimated based on UV and far-infrared data using published extinction-corrected UV brightness profiles of the galaxies. The local SFE values are most closely related to the surface brightness (density) of the galactic disk at a given R, with this dependence being the same for all four galaxies (except for their central regions). In order to explain the observed disk densities in terms of a simple conservative model (“toy model”) for the evolution of the gas density, the local value of the parameter N in the Schmidt law for the disk (SFR ～ σ gas N ) must not exceed unity. In this case, the observed dependences σ gas (R) and SFE(R) can be matched assuming that accretion is occuring in the central regions of the disks.  相似文献
