Most astrophysical accretion disks are likely to be warped.In X-ray binaries,the spin evolution of an accreting neutron star is critically dependent on the interaction between the neutron star magnetic field and the accretion disk.There have been extensive investigations on the accretion torque exerted by a coplanar disk that is magnetically threaded by the magnetic field lines from the neutron stars,but relevant works on warped/tilted accretion disks are still lacking.In this paper we develop a simplified twocomponent model,in which the disk is comprised of an inner coplanar part and an outer,tilted part.Based on standard assumption on the formation and evolution of the toroidal magnetic field component,we derive the dimensionless torque and show that a warped/titled disk is more likely to spin up the neutron star compared with a coplanar disk.We also discuss the possible influence of various initial parameters on the torque. 相似文献

We propose a three-stage model with Blandford-Znajek (BZ) and hyperaccretion process to interpret the recent observations of early afterglows of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). In the first stage, the prompt GRB is powered by a rotating black hole (BH) invoking the BZ process. The second stage is a quiet stage, in which the BZ process is shut off, and the accretion onto the BH is depressed by the torque exerted by the magnetic coupling (MC) process. Part of the rotational energy transported by the MC process from the BH is stored in the disk as magnetic energy. In the third stage, the MC process is shut off when the magnetic energy in the disk accumulates and triggers magnetic instability. At this moment, the hyperaccretion process may set in, and the jet launched in this restarted central engine generates the observed X-ray flares. This model can account for the energies and timescales of GRBs with X-ray flares observed in early afterglows. 相似文献

We calculate the polarization of the radiation from an optically thick accretion disk with a vertical averaged magnetic field.
The polarization arises from the scattering of light by free electrons in a magnetized disk plasma. The Faraday rotation of
the polarization plane during the propagation of a photon in a medium with a magnetic field is considered as the main effect.
We discuss various models of optically thick accretion disks with a vertical averaged magnetic field. Our main goal is to
derive simple asymptotic formulas for the polarization of radiation in the case where the Faraday rotation angle Ψ ≫ 1 at
the Thomson optical depth τ = 1. The results of our calculations allow the magnetic field strength in the region of the marginally
stable orbit near a black hole to be estimated from polarimetric observations, including X-ray observations expected in the
future. Since the polarization spectrum of the radiation strongly depends on the accretion disk model, a realistic physical
model of the accretion disk can be determined from data on the polarization of its radiation. 相似文献

Neutron stars in X-ray binary systems are fascinating objects that display a wide range of timing and spectral phenomena in the X-rays. Not only parameters of the neutron stars, like magnetic field strength and spin period evolve in their active binary phase, the neutron stars also affect the binary systems and their immediate surroundings in many ways. Here we discuss some aspects of the interactions of the neutron stars with their environments that are revelaed from their X-ray emission. We discuss some recent developments involving the process of accretion onto high magnetic field neutron stars: accretion stream structure and formation, shape of pulse profile and its changes with accretion torque. Various recent studies of reprocessing of X-rays in the accretion disk surface, vertical structures of the accretion disk and wind of companion star are also discussed here. The X-ray pulsars among the binary neutron stars provide excellent handle to make accurate measurement of the orbital parameters and thus also evolution of the binray orbits that take place over time scale of a fraction of a million years to tens of millions of years. The orbital period evolution of X-ray binaries have shown them to be rather complex systems. Orbital evolution of X-ray binaries can also be carried out from timing of the X-ray eclipses and there have been some surprising results in that direction, including orbital period glitches in two X-ray binaries and possible detection of the most massive circum-binary planet around a Low Mass X-ray Binary. 相似文献

I show in this paper that two types of magnetic torques can appear in the interaction between an accretion disc and a magnetic accretor. There is the well-known torque resulting from the difference in angular velocity between the accretion disc and the star, but in addition there is a torque coming from the interaction between the stellar magnetic field and the disc's own magnetic field. The latter form of magnetic torque decreases in strength more slowly with increasing radius, and will therefore dominate at large radii. The direction of the disc field is not determined by the difference in angular velocity between the star and the disc as in the Ghosh &38; Lamb model, but rather is a free parameter. The magnetic torque may therefore either spin up or spin down the star, and the torque changes sign if the magnetic field in the disc reverses. I suggest that this mechanism can explain the torque reversals that have been observed in some disc-fed X-ray pulsars. 相似文献

We compare two methods for estimating the magnetic field near a black hole—based on a statistical formula that relates the
magnetic field on the horizon of the black hole to its mass and on a direct magnetic field determination from optical polarimetric
observations. An optically thick magnetized accretion disk is usually formed around the black hole in active galactic nuclei.
The linear polarization of the radiation emerging from the disk is related to the local magnetic field and the polarization
in Milne’s classical problem. The magnetic field in the region from where the radiation with the observed wavelength comes
can be estimated by measuring this polarization. On the other hand, this field can be estimated from the above statistical
formula if the field near the black hole is extrapolated into the accretion disk using a standard power law. Comparison of
the magnetic field obtained from the observed polarization with the extrapolated field can serve to estimate the accuracy
of the latter and the exponent in the adopted extrapolation law. As an example, we compare these two methods for the source
NGC 4258. 相似文献

The magnetic field in an accretion disk is estimated assuming that all of the angular momentum within prescribed accretion
disk radii is removed by a jet. The magnetic field estimated at the base of the jet is extrapolated to the blazar emission
region using a model for a relativistic axisymmetric jet combined with some simplifying assumptions based on the relativistic
nature of the flow. The extrapolated magnetic field is compared with estimates based upon the synchrotron and inverse Compton
emission from three blazars, MKN 501, MKN 421 and PKS 2155-304. The magnetic fields evaluated from pure synchrotron self-Compton
models are inconsistent with the magnetic fields extrapolated in this way. However, in two cases inverse Compton models in
which a substantial part of the soft photon field is generated locally agree well, mainly because these models imply magnetic
field strengths consistent with an important Poynting Flux component. This comparison is based on estimating the mass accretion
rate from the jet energy flux. Further comparisons along these lines will be facilitated by independent estimates of the mass
accretion rate in blazars and by more detailed models for jet propagation near the black hole. 相似文献

We give an expression for the Lindblad torque acting on a low-mass planet embedded in a protoplanetary disk that is valid even at locations where the surface density or temperature profile cannot be approximated by a power law, such as an opacity transition. At such locations, the Lindblad torque is known to suffer strong deviation from its standard value, with potentially important implications for type I migration, but the full treatment of the tidal interaction is cumbersome and not well suited to models of planetary population synthesis. The expression that we propose retains the simplicity of the standard Lindblad torque formula and gives results that accurately reproduce those of numerical simulations, even at locations where the disk temperature undergoes abrupt changes. Our study is conducted by means of customized numerical simulations in the low-mass regime, in locally isothermal disks, and compared to linear torque estimates obtained by summing fully analytic torque estimates at each Lindblad resonance. The functional dependence of our modified Lindblad torque expression is suggested by an estimate of the shift of the Lindblad resonances that mostly contribute to the torque, in a disk with sharp gradients of temperature or surface density, while the numerical coefficients of the new terms are adjusted to seek agreement with numerics. As side results, we find that the vortensity related corotation torque undergoes a boost at an opacity transition that can counteract migration, and we find evidence from numerical simulations that the linear corotation torque has a non-negligible dependency upon the temperature gradient, in a locally isothermal disk. 相似文献

By taking magnetic stress in place of viscosity as the mechanism for angular moaentum transfer, the effect of frozen magnetic field on the structure of a geometrically thin accretion disk is examined. It is shown that the disk is quasi-Keplerian and its total luminosity is twice the luminosity in the standard disk model. In the inner region, there exists a narrow cool region and the highly collimated jet is formed under the action of the azimuthal component of the magnetic field. Also, we discuss the possibility that a magnetized corona be formed near the surface of the accretion disk and a wide band radiation issuing therefrom. The model suggested here can easily and reasonably explain the major AGN properties such as the radiation variation, the “bumps” in the optical, ultraviolet and soft X-ray ranges, etc. 相似文献

We consider the generation of a magnetic field in the Galaxy by the electric currents excited by cosmic-ray particles in the disk and halo. We assume that the sources of relativistic particles are distributed continuously and uniformly in the Galactic disk, their total power is equal to the observed value, and the particles themselves undergo anisotropic diffusion in a homogeneous medium. We take into account the differential rotation of the Galactic disk but disregard the turbulence gyrotropy (the α effect). The strength of the generated magnetic field in our model is shown to strongly depend on the symmetry of the relativistic proton and thermal electron diffusion tensors, as well as on the relations between the tensor components. In particular, if the diffusion is isotropic, then no magnetic field is generated. For the independent tensor components estimated from observed parameters of the Galactic medium and with a simultaneous allowance made for the turbulent field dissipation processes, the mechanism under consideration can provide an observable magnetic-field strength of the order of several microgauss. This mechanism does not require any seed magnetic field, which leads us to suggest that relativistic particles can give an appreciable and, possibly, determining contribution to the formation of the global Galactic magnetic field. However, a final answer can be obtained only from a nonlinear self-consistent treatment, in which the symmetry and magnitude of the particle diffusion tensor components should be determined together with the calculation of the magnetic field. 相似文献

State transitions triggered by inverse magnetic field: probably applied in high-mass X-ray binaries?
《天文和天体物理学研究(英文版)》2016,(3)
Previous works suggested that the state transitions in an X-ray binary can be triggered by accreting an inverse magnetic field from its companion star. A key point of this mechanism is the accretion and magnification of large-scale magnetic fields from the outer boundary of a thin disk. However, how such a process can be realized is still an open question. In this work, we check this issue in a realistic X-ray binary system. According to our calculations, a quite strong initial magnetic field, B~10~2- 10~3 G, is required in order to assure that the large-scale magnetic field can be effectively dragged inward and magnified with the accretion of gas. Thus, such a picture probably can be present in high-mass X-ray binaries possessing a strong stellar magnetic field, e.g., Cyg X-1. 相似文献

We reexamine arguments advanced by Hayashi & Matsuda (2001), who claim that several simple, physically motivated derivations
based on mean free path theory for calculating the viscous torque in a quasi-Keplerian accretion disk yield results that are
inconsistent with the generally accepted model. If correct, the ideas proposed by Hayashi & Matsuda would radically alter
our understanding of the nature of the angular momentum transport in the disk, which is a central feature of accretion disk
theory. However, in this paper we point out several fallacies in their arguments and show that there indeed exists a simple
derivation based on mean free path theory that yields an expression for the viscous torque that is proportional to the radial
derivative of the angular velocity in the accretion disk, as expected. The derivation is based on the analysis of the epicyclic
motion of gas parcels in adjacent eddies in the disk. 相似文献

Daily maps of magnetic neutral lines derived from H observations have been superimposed on solar X-ray images for the period 15–30 June 1973. Nearly all X-ray-emitting structures consist of systems of arches covering chromospheric neutral lines. Areas of low emissivity, coronal holes, appear as the areas between arcades of arches. The presence of a coronal hole, therefore, is determined by the spacing between neutral lines and the scale of the arches over those neutral lines. X-ray emissivity on the solar disk extends from neutral lines in proportion to the vertical and horizontal scale of the arches over those neutral lines. Increasing scale of arches corresponds with increasing age of magnetic fields associated with the neutral line. All X-ray filament cavities coincided with neutral lines, but filaments appeared under cavities for only part of their length and for only a fraction of the disk passage.A substantial portion of this work was done while a visitor at American Science and Engineering, Cambridge, Mass. 02139, U.S.A. 相似文献

This paper investigates the tidal effect on accretion disk in CVs and sets up a simplified model in which the secondary's gravitation is substituted by a mean tidal torque. We find that a linear tidal torque will not be able to maintain an equilibrium disk. By using the result of the radius of the equilibrium disk approximately equals to the tidal radius, which was obtained by using the two dimensional numerical simulation invoking nonlinear tidal effect, we give the modified tidal dissipation function for our simplified model which could be used to interpret the outburst of the dwarf nova with tidal effect. The paper also shows that the radius of an equilibrium disk with a torus is slightly small than the Lubow-Shu radius, and the tidal effect may also cause the cycle of quiescence-superoutburst in addition to the cycle of quiescence-outbursts-superoutburst. 相似文献

We show that the set of observational characteristics for low-mass X-ray binaries in the optical and X-ray bands can be explained
in terms of the model of an optically thick accretion disk with an atmosphere irradiated by a central X-ray source. We show
that this set of observational data can be successfully used to measure the orbital inclination of a binary, the geometric
parameters of its accretion disk, and the reprocessing time of X-emission to optical one. For the burster GS 1826-238, a low-mass
X-ray binary with a neutron star, we have estimated the binary inclination and the thickness of the disk atmosphere at the
outer edge from the mean optical flux and the amplitude of periodic modulations in the optical light curve: i = 62.5° ± 5.5° and H
d/R
d = 0.145 ± 0.009. The optical response time of the binary to an X-ray burst disagrees with the geometric delay in the propagation
of X-ray photons in the binary. We believe that this points to a finite X-ray reprocessing/reradiation time, 1.0 s ≲ τ
repr ≲ 2.2 s, in the hot atmosphere above the accretion disk. 相似文献

Magnetic fields in an accretion disk around the central black hole can modify the size of the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) and can produce a difference to the classical Novikov‐Thorne radius. We estimated the ISCO magnetic field strength from the polarimetric observations of the accretion‐disk radiation. This estimate is obtained taking into account the effect of the Faraday rotation of the polarization plane at the distance of the mean free path of photons between successive electron scattering events. We present the new method for estimating the ISCO radius in the accretion disk, i.e. in the nearest vicinity of a central black hole. Our estimates confirmed the Frolov, Shoom & Tzounis (2014) and Ranea‐Sandoval & Garcia (2015) conclusion that the magnetic field in the accretion disk decreases the size of the innermost stable circular orbit.
