There is a general consensus that the frequencies of the kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) in neutron-star low-mass X-ray binaries are directly linked to the spin of the neutron star. The root of this idea is the apparent clustering of the ratio of the frequency difference of the kHz QPOs, and the neutron-star spin frequency, Δν/νs , at around 0.5 and 1 in 10 systems for which these two quantities have been measured. Here, we re-examine all available data of sources for which there exist measurements of two simultaneous kHz QPOs and spin frequencies, and we advance the possibility that Δν and νs are not related to each other. We discuss ways in which this possibility could be tested with current and future observations. 相似文献

The pressure-gradient similarity theory has been applied to neutral boundary layers perturbed by the presence of 2-D topography, using wind tunnel data for tuning and comparison. It turns out that the vertical structure of the inner part of the boundary layer can be defined in terms of scales determined from the local horizontal surface pressure gradient and surface stress. The outer structure, on the other hand, is affected only by the upstream conditions.The similarity formulas are shown to be applicable to field cases, using simple model evaluations of the driving parameters. Proper data sets are almost totally lacking at present, limiting the possibility of detailed comparisons with real data. 相似文献

The X-ray properties of the two galactic microquasars GRS 1915+105 and GRO J1655−40 are rather perculiar. In particular, GRS 1915+105 displays a richness of variability never observed in any other source. Nevertheless, many characteristics of these two sources are not unlike those expected from black-hole candidates on the basis of other known sources. I discuss these similarities and suggest that the connection between these and other more “conventional” systems can potentially lead to a better understanding of accretion around black holes. 相似文献

Results from a BeppoSAX observational campaign on GRS 1915+105, performed in October/November 1996, are presented. The source was observed 10 times (nine 10 ksec snapshots, one 100 ksec long observation). The broad band spectral analysis reveals a complex spectrum, including Compton reflection and an iron emission line, probably originating from a relativistic disc. 相似文献

We analysed simultaneous archival XMM–Newton and Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observations of the X-ray binary and black hole candidate Swift J 1753.5−0127 . In a previous analysis of the same data, a soft thermal component was found in the X-ray spectrum, and the presence of an accretion disc extending close to the innermost stable circular orbit was proposed. This is in contrast with the standard picture in which the accretion disc is truncated at large radii in the low/hard state. We tested a number of spectral models and found that several of them fit the observed spectra without the need of a soft disc-like component. This result implies that the classical paradigm of a truncated accretion disc in the low/hard state cannot be ruled out by these data. We further discovered a broad iron emission line between 6 and 7 keV in these data. From fits to the line profile we found an inner disc radius that ranges between ∼6 and 16 gravitational radii, which can be in fact much larger, up to ∼250 gravitational radii, depending on the model used to fit the continuum and the line. We discuss the implications of these results in the context of a fully or partially truncated accretion disc. 相似文献

A flight of marine terraces along the Cuban coast records Quaternary sea‐level highstands and a general slowly uplifting trend during the Pleistocene. U/Th dating of these limestone terraces is difficult because fossil reef corals have been affected by open system conditions. Terrace ages are thus often based on geological and geomorphological observations. In contrast, the minimum age of the terraces can be constrained by dating speleothems from coastal mixing (flank margin) caves formed during past sea‐level highstands and carving the marine limestones. Speleothems in Santa Catalina Cave have ages >360 ka and show various cycles of subaerial–subaqueous corrosion and speleothem growth. This suggests that the cave was carved during the MIS 11 sea‐level highstand or earlier. Some stalagmites grew during MIS 11 through MIS 8 and were submerged twice, once at the end of MIS 11 and then during MIS 9. Phreatic overgrowths (POS) covering the speleothems suggest anchialine conditions in the cave during MIS 5e. Their altitude at 16 m above present sea level indicates a late Pleistocene uplift rate of <0.1 mm/ka, but modelling also shows uplift to have been insignificant over a long timespan during the middle Pleistocene since the cave was carved. Our study shows that some flank margin caves in the region of Matanzas are older than commonly believed (i.e. MIS 11 rather than MIS 5). These caves not only can be preserved but are good markers of interglacial sea‐level highstands, more reliable than marine abrasion surfaces. Copyright © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献
