We present a qualitative analysis of possible changes in the structure of accretion disks that occur in the transition from hot to cool disks. We suggest that an additional spiral-density wave can exist in the inner parts of the disk, where gas-dynamical perturbations are negligible. We consider the formation of this wave and its parameters. The results of a three-dimensional gas-dynamical simulation of a cool accretion disk are presented; these results confirm the possibility of the formation of a new, “precessional,” spiral wave in the inner regions of a cool accretion disk. Possible observational manifestations of such a wave are discussed.  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 consider a mechanism for the formation of superhumps in the TV Col system, based on the possible existence of a precessional spiral wave in the accretion disk of the system. This mechanism can act in binaries with arbitrary component-mass ratios, and our precessional spiral wave model can be applied to explain observed superhumps of all types.  相似文献

The results of three-dimensional MHD numerical simulations are used to investigate the characteristic properties of the magnetic-field structures in the accretion disks of semi-detached binary systems. It is assumed that the intrinsic magnetic field of the accretor star is dipolar. Turbulent diffusion of the magnetic field in the disk is taken into account. The SS Cyg system is considered as an example. The results of the numerical simulations show the intense generation of a predominantly toroidal magnetic field in the accretion disk. Magnetic zones with well defined structures for the toroidal magnetic field form in the disk, which are separated by current sheets in which there ismagnetic reconnection and current dissipation. Possible observational manifestations of such structures are discussed. It is shown that the interaction of a spiral precessional wave with the accretor’s magnetosphere could lead to quasi-periodic oscillations of the accretion rate.  相似文献

We consider the structure and formation of the circumbinary envelopes in semi-detached binary systems. Three-dimensional numerical simulations of the gas dynamics are used to study the flow pattern in a binary system after it has reached the steady-state accretion regime. The outer parts of the circumbinary envelope are replenished by periodic ejections from the accretion disk and circum-disk halo through the vicinity of the Lagrange point L3. In this mechanism, the shape and position of a substantial part of the disk is specified by a precessional density wave. On timescales comparable to the orbital period, the precessional wave (and hence an appreciable fraction of the disk) will be virtually stationary in the observer’s frame, whereas the positions of other elements of the flow will vary due to the orbital rotation. The periodic variations of the positions of the disk and the bow shock formed when the inner parts of the circumbinary envelope flow around the disk result in variations in both the rate of angular-momentum transfer to the disk and the flow structure near L3. All these factors lead to a periodic increase of the matter flow into the outer layers of the circumbinary envelope through the vicinity of L3. The total duration of the ejection is approximately half the orbital period.  相似文献

We suggest a new mechanism for the superoutbursts in SU UMa binaries, in which the increase in the accretion rate resulting in a superoutburst is associated with the formation of a spiral “precessional” wave in the inner parts of the disk, where gas-dynamical perturbations are negligible. The existence of such waves was suggested by us previously. The results of three-dimensional gas-dynamical simulations have shown that a considerable increase in the accretion rate (by up to an order of magnitude) is associated with the formation of the precessional wave. The features of the precessional spiral wave can explain both the energy release in the superoutburst and all its observational manifestations. One distinguishing feature of superoutbursts in SU UMa-type stars is the formation of a “superhump” in the light curve. Our model reproduces well both the formation of a superhump and its observational features, including its period, which is up to 3–7% longer than the orbital period, and the detectability of the superhump independent of the orbital inclination of the binary.  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

Vertical oscillations of the gas at the outer edge of the accretion disk in a semi-detached binary due to interaction with the stream of matter from the inner Lagrangian point L 1 are considered. Mixing of the matter from the stream from L 1 with matter of the disk halo results in the formation of a system of two diverging shocks and a contact discontinuity, or so-called “hot line”. The passage of matter through the region of the hot line leads to an increase in its vertical velocity and a thickening of the disk at phases 0.7?0.8. Subsequently, the matter moving along the outer edge of the disk also experiences vertical oscillations, forming secondary maxima at phases 0.2?0.4. It is shown that, for systems with component mass ratios of 0.6, these oscillations will be amplified with each passage of the matter through the hotline zone, while the observations will be quenched in systems with component mass ratios ~0.07 and ~7. The most favorable conditions for the flow of matter from the stream through the edge of the disk arise for component mass ratios ~0.62. A theoretical relation between the phases of disk thickenings and the component mass ratio of the system is derived.  相似文献

Results of three-dimensional gas-dynamical numerical simulations of the structure of matter flows in semi-detached binary systems with various component-mass ratios are considered. The main elements of the flows in the models studied are described. The characteristics of density waves inside the accretion disk for various component-mass ratios are considered. The influence of the precessional density wave on the development of instability in the accretion disks and the characteristics of developing turbulence are analyzed. Values of the Shakura–Syunyaev coefficient α for the simulated systems are calculated.  相似文献

We have performed three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamical calculations of stream accretion in cataclysmic variable stars for which the white dwarf primary possesses a strong, complex magnetic field. These calculations were motivated by observations of polars: cataclysmic variables containing white dwarfs with magnetic fields sufficiently strong to prevent the formation of an accretion disk. In this case, an accretion stream flows from the L1 point and impacts directly onto one or more spots on the surface of the white dwarf. Observations indicate that the white dwarfs in some binaries possess complex (non-dipolar) magnetic fields. We performed simulations of ten polars, with the only variable being the azimuthal angle of the secondary with respect to the white dwarf. These calculations are also applicable to asynchronous polars, where the spin period of the white dwarf differs by a few percent from the orbital period. Our results are equivalent to calculating the structure of one asynchronous polar at ten different spin-orbit beat phases. Our models have an aligned dipolar plus quadrupolar magnetic field centered on the whitedwarf primary. We find that, with a sufficiently strong quadrupolar component, an accretion spot arises near the magnetic equator for slightly less than half our simulations, while a polar accretion zone is active for most of the remaining simulations. For two configurations, accretion at a dominant polar region and in an equatorial zone occurs simultaneously. Most polar studies assume that the magnetic field is dipolar, especially for single-pole accretors. We demonstrate that, with the orbital parameters and magnetic-field strengths typical of polars, the accretion flow patterns can vary widely in the case of a complex magnetic field. This may make it difficult formany polars to determine observationally whether the field is pure dipolar or is more complex, but there shoulid be indications for some systems. In particular, a complex magnetic field should be suspected if there is an accretion zone near the white dwarf’s equator (assumed to be in the orbital plane) or if there are two or more accretion regions that cannot be fitted by dipolar magnetic field. Magnetic-field constraints are expected to be substantially stronger for asynchronous polars, with clearer signs of complex field geometry due to changes in the accretion flow structure as a function of azimuthal angle. These indications become clearer in asynchronous polars because each azimuthal angle corresponds to a different spin-orbit beat phase.  相似文献

We have analyzed light curves of the eclipsing cataclysmic variable IP Peg. A model with a shockless interaction between the gaseous stream and disk (i.e., an elliptical disk with a “hot line”) can describe the main characteristic features of the light curve of the interacting close binary better than a classical model with a “hot spot” at the outer boundary of a circular accretion disk. In particular, the hot-line model can reproduce the luminosity increase observed at phases ?~0.1–0.2 and ?~0.5–0.6, which is not possible in the standard hot-spot model. The advantages of the hot-line model are particularly striking for the IR light curves of IP Peg: the discrepancy χ2 between the theoretical and observed light curves is 49 for the model with a shockless interaction between the gaseous stream and disk, and 2681 for the standard hot-spot model.  相似文献

We present the results of three-dimensional simulations of matter flows in semidetached binary systems with various viscosities. In low-viscosity systems, the flow structure displays the same qualitative features as in high-viscosity computations. A self-consistent solution shows the absence of a shock interaction between the stream flowing from the inner Lagrange point and the forming accretion disk (or hot spot) for any viscosity.  相似文献

Our analysis of BV RI light curves for the cataclysmic variable UX UMa obtained in intermediate activity states, in the transition between the active and quiescent states of the system on March 12, 1997 and May 3, 2000, shows that the shapes of these light curves cannot be adequately described using the standard hot-spot model. A model with a “hot line” near the edge of the disk and a two-armed spiral structure on the disk surface reproduces much better out-of-eclipse variations in the light curves. The presence of an extended hot line can explain the anomalous shape of the I light curve on March 12, 1997. The decrease in the observed luminosity of the system between March 12, 1997 and May 3, 2000 could be due to a decrease in the disk luminosity by a factor of 2–2.5; the higher disk luminosity on the earlier date is associated with appreciable deviations of the radial temperature distribution of the disk material from that for the standard model. The phases and depths of dips in the out-of-eclipse sections of the UX UMa light curves are due primarily to the parameters of the complex shape of the accretion disk, which has a spiral structure located mainly near its outer edge. The contribution of the spiral arms in the V filter reaches 20–50% of the total disk radiation. The crest of the first spiral wave in our model maintains its approximate position in azimuth; this structure could represent a bulge in a halo at the outer edge of the disk near orbital phases φ ~ 0.7, in the direction of the continuation of the extended shock in the disk itself. The position of the crest of the second spiral arm changes with time. This structure may represent a one-armed spiral wave near the apastron of the weakly elliptical disk. Finally, the observations testify to the presence of another spiral arm that is les clearly manifest in terms of both its luminosity and its height above the unperturbed disk surface. Thus, in an intermediate activity state of UX UMa, the surface of the accretion disk is distorted by the action of a two-armed spiral structure in the outer regions of the disk, which is asymmetric in both its luminosity and dimensions, and a bulge at the disk edge in the region of its interaction with the inflow to the disk.  相似文献

Doppler tomograms are constructed for the quiescent state of the SS Cyg system based on Hβ and Hγ spectral-line observations carried out in August 2006 with the 2-m telescope at Terskol Peak. Gasdynamical simulations combined with the Doppler tomograms enable identification of the main features of the flow. Comparisons of synthetic tomograms with observations indicate that an accretion disk is present in the quiescent system. In the tomograms, the luminosity is maximum at the arms of the spiral tidal shock at the shock front due to the interaction between the gas of the circum-binary envelope and material in the stream issuing from the Lagrangian point L1 (the “hot line”), and in the region behind the bow shock due to the motion of the accretor and disk in the gas of the envelope. The contribution of this last element results in appreciable asymmetry of the tomograms.  相似文献

To determine the parameters of the accretion disk and shock-wave region responsible for the formation of the orbital peak in the light curve of the binary system OY Car (an SU UMa-type variable), we have analyzed its U BV R and JK light curves using two gas-dynamical models with different regions of shock interaction: one with a hot line along the stream from the Lagrange point L1 and one with a hot spot on the accretion disk. The hot-line model can better describe the quiescent state of the system: the maximum X2 for the optical light curves does not exceed 207, whereas the minimum residual for the hot-spot model is X2>290. The shape of the eclipse is almost identical in both models; the main differences are in interpreting out-of-eclipse portions of the light curves, whose shape can varyin the transition from one orbital cycle to another. The hot-spot model is not able to describe variations of the system’s brightness at orbital phases ?~0.1–0.6. The rather complex behavior of the observed flux in this phase interval can be explained in the hot-line model as being due to variations of the temperature and size of the system. Based on the analysis of a sequence of 20 B curves of OY Car, we conclude that the flux variations in the primary minimum are due to variations of the luminosity of the accretion disk, whereas the flux variability in the vicinity of the orbital peak is due to the combined effect of the radiation of the disk and hot line. The JK light curves of OY Car in the quiescent state and during a small flare also indicate preference for the hot-line model, since the primaryminimum and the flux near quadratures calculated using the hot-spot model are not consistent with the observations.  相似文献

We have synthesized Doppler tomograms of gas flows in the binary system IP Peg using the results of three-dimensional gas-dynamical computations. Gas-dynamical modeling in combination with Doppler tomography enables identification of the key elements of flows in Doppler maps without solution of an ill-posed inverse problem. A comparison of the synthetic tomograms with observations shows that, in the quiescent state of the system, the most luminous components are (1) the shock wave induced by interaction between the circumbinary envelope and the stream from the Lagrange point L 1 (the “hot line”) and (2) the gas condensation at the apogee of the quasi-elliptical disk. Both the single spiral shock wave arm in the gas-dynamical solution and the stream from L 1 contribute little to the luminosity. In the active state of the system, when the stream from L 1 does not play an appreciable role and the disk dominates, both areas of enhanced luminosity in the observational tomograms are associated with the two arms of the spiral shock wave in the disk.  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 present the results of three-dimensional gas-dynamical simulations of matter flows in semi-detached binaries after termination of the mass transfer between the components of the system. The structure of the residual accretion disk is studied. When the mass transfer has ended, the quasi-elliptical disk becomes circular and its structure changes: tidal interactions result in the formation of a second arm in the spiral shock wave. In addition, a condensation (blob) moving through the disk with variable velocity is formed. The blob is maintained by interactions with the arms of the spiral shock and exists essentially over the entire lifetime of the disk. We also show that, for a viscosity corresponding to α~0.01 (typical for observed accretion disks), the lifetime of the residual disk is about 50 orbital periods.  相似文献

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
