The Uncertainty in Newton's Constant and Precision Predictions of the Primordial Helium Abu

The Uncertainty in Newton's Constant and Precision Predictions of the Primordial Helium Abu

a r X i v :a s t r o -p h /0310699v 3 13 F eb 2004The Uncertainty in Newton’s Constant and Precision Predictions of the PrimordialHelium AbundanceRobert J.ScherrerDepartment of Physics and Astronomy,Vanderbilt University,Nashville,TN37235The current uncertainty in Newton’s constant,G N ,is of the order of 0.15%.For values of the baryon to photon ratio consistent with both cosmic microwave background observations and the primordial deuterium abundance,this uncertainty in G N corresponds to an uncertainty in the primordial 4He mass fraction,Y P ,of ±1.3×10−4.This uncertainty in Y P is comparable to the effect from the current uncertainty in the neutron lifetime,τn ,which is often treated as the dominant uncertainty in calculations of Y P .Recent measurements of G N seem to be converging within a smaller range;a reduction in the estimated error on G N by a factor of 10would essentially eliminate it as a source of uncertainty the calculation of the primordial 4He abundance.Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN)represents one of the key successes of modern cosmology [1,2].In recent years,the BBN production of deuterium has emerged as the most useful constraint on the baryon density in the universe,both because of observations of deuterium in (presumably unprocessed)high-redshift QSO absorption line systems (see Ref.[3],and references therein),and the fact that the predicted BBN yields of deuterium are highly sensitive to the baryon density.These arguments give a baryon density parameter Ωb h 2,of [3]Ωb h 2=0.0194−0.0234,(1)which is in excellent agreement with the baryon den-sity derived by the WMAP team from recent cosmic mi-crowave background observations [4]:Ωb h 2=0.022−0.024.(2)Given these limits on the baryon density,BBN predicts the primordial abundances of 4He and 7Li.Because the 4He abundance is particularly sensitive to new physics beyond the standard model,a comparison between the predicted and observed abundances of 4He can be used to constrain,for example,neutrino degeneracy or extra relativistic degrees of freedom (see,e.g.,Refs.[5,6]).For this reason,it is useful to obtain the most accurate possible theoretical predictions for the primordial 4He mass fraction,Y P .The primordial production of 4He is controlled by the competition between the rates for the processes which govern the interconversion of neutrons and protons,n +νe ↔p +e −,n +e +↔p +¯νe ,n ↔p +e −+¯νe ,(3)and the expansion rate of the Universe,given by˙R3πG N ρ1/2.(4)In BBN calculations,the weak interaction rates are scaled offof the inverse of the neutron lifetime,τn .When these rates are faster than the expansion rate,the neutron-to-proton ratio (n/p )tracks its equilibrium value.As the Universe expands and cools,the expan-sion rate comes to dominate and n/p essentially freezes out.Nearly all the neutrons which survive this freeze-out are bound into 4He when deuterium becomes sta-ble against photodisintegration.Following the initial calculations of Wagoner,Fowler,and Hoyle [7],numer-ous groups examined higher-order corrections to the 4He production.The first such systematic attempt was un-dertaken by Dicus et al.[8],who examined the effects of Coulomb and radiative corrections to the weak rates,finite-temperature QED effects,and incomplete neutrino ter investigations included more detailed ex-amination of Coulomb and radiative corrections to the weak rates [9,10,11,12],finite-temperature QED ef-fects [13],and incomplete neutrino decoupling [14],as well as an examination of the effects of finite nuclear mass [15].These effects were systematized by Lopez and Turner [16](see also Ref.[17]),who argued that all the-oretical corrections larger than the effect of the uncer-tainty in the neutron lifetime had been accounted for,yielding a total theoretical uncertainty ∆Y P <0.0002.Assuming an uncertainty of ±2sec in the neutron life-time,the corresponding experimental uncertainty in Y P is ∆Y P =±0.0004.Similar results were obtained in Ref.[17].Two relevant changes have occurred since the publica-tion of Refs.[16,17].First,the estimated uncertainty in the neutron lifetime has decreased,with the current value being [18]τn =885.7±0.8sec .(5)Second,the estimated uncertainty in the value of G N has increased .The value currently recommended by CO-DATA (Committee on Data for Science and Technology)is [19]G N =6.673±0.010×10−8cm 3gm −1sec −2.(6)This represents a factor of twelve increase over the pre-vious recommended uncertainty [20],and is primarily due to an anomalously high value for G determined by Michaelis,Haars,and Augustin [21].(See Table 1).2Reference6.67407(22)Quinn,et al.(2001)[30]6.674215(92)Luo et al.(1999)[32]6.6742(7)Schwarz et al.(1999)[34]6.6749(14)Kleinevoss et

Comparing Suzaku and XMM-Newton Observations of the Soft X-ray Background Evidence for Sola

X-RAY BACKGROUND:EVIDENCE FOR SOLAR WIND CHARGE EXCHANGE EMISSIONDavid B.Henley and Robin L.SheltonDepartment of Physics and Astronomy,University of Georgia,Athens,GA 30602Draft version February 2,2008ABSTRACTWe present an analysis of a pair of Suzaku spectra of the soft X-ray background (SXRB),obtained from pointings on and offa nearby shadowing filament in the southern Galactic hemisphere.Because of the different Galactic column densities in the two pointing directions,the observed emission from the Galactic halo has a different shape in the two spectra.We make use of this difference when modeling the spectra to separate the absorbed halo emission from the unabsorbed foreground emission from the Local Bubble (LB).The temperatures and emission measures we obtain are significantly different from those determined from an earlier analysis of XMM-Newton spectra from the same pointing directions.We attribute this difference to the presence of previously unrecognized solar wind charge exchange (SWCX)contamination in the XMM-Newton spectra,possibly due to a localized enhancement in the solar wind moving across the line of sight.Contemporaneous solar wind data from ACE show nothing unusual during the course of the XMM-Newton observations.Our results therefore suggest that simply examining contemporaneous solar wind data might be inadequate for determining if a spectrum of the SXRB is contaminated by SWCX emission.If our Suzaku spectra are not badly contaminatedby SWCX emission,our best-fitting LB model gives a temperature of log(T LB /K)=5.98+0.03−0.04and a pressure of p LB /k =13,100–16,100cm −3K.These values are lower than those obtained from other recent observations of the LB,suggesting the LB may not be isothermal and may not be in pressure equilibrium.Our halo modeling,meanwhile,suggests that neon may be enhanced relative to oxygen and iron,possibly because oxygen and iron are partly in dust.Subject headings:Galaxy:halo—Sun:solar wind—X-rays:diffuse background—X-rays:ISM1.INTRODUCTIONThe diffuse soft X-ray background (SXRB),which is observed in all directions in the ∼0.1–2keV band,is composed of emission from several different components.For many years,the observed 1/4-keV emission was believed to originate from the Local Bubble (LB),a cavity in the local interstellar medium (ISM)of ∼100pc radius filled with ∼106K gas (Sanders et al.1977;Cox &Reynolds 1987;McCammon &Sanders 1990;Snowden et al.1990).However,the discovery of shadows in the 1/4-keV background with ROSAT showed that ∼50%of the 1/4keV emission originates from beyond the LB (Burrows &Mendenhall 1991;Snowden et al.1991).This more distant emission origi-nates from the Galactic halo,which contains hot gas with temperatures log(T halo /K)∼6.0–6.5(Snowden et al.1998;Kuntz &Snowden 2000;Smith et al.2007;Galeazzi et al.2007;Henley,Shelton,&Kuntz 2007).As the halo gas is hotter than the LB gas,it also emits at higher energies,up to ∼1keV.Above ∼1keV the X-ray background is extragalactic in origin,and is due to un-resolved active galactic nuclei (AGN;Mushotzky et al.2000).X-ray spectroscopy of the SXRB can,in principle,de-termine the thermal properties,ionization state,and chemical abundances of the hot gas in the Galaxy.These properties give clues to the origin of the hot gas,which is currently uncertain.However,to de-termine the physical properties of the hot Galactic gas,one must first decompose the SXRB into its con-Electronic address:dbh@stituents.This is achieved using a technique called “shadowing”,which makes use of the above-mentioned shadows cast in the SXRB by cool clouds of gas be-tween the Earth and the halo.Low-spectral-resolution ROSAT observations of the SXRB were decomposed into their foreground and background components by modeling the intensity variation due to the varying absorption column density on and around shadow-ing clouds (Burrows &Mendenhall 1991;Snowden et al.1991,2000;Snowden,McCammon,&Verter 1993;Kuntz,Snowden,&Verter 1997).The same tech-nique was used to decompose ROSAT All-Sky Survey data over large areas of the sky (Snowden et al.1998;Kuntz &Snowden 2000).With higher resolution spectra,such as those from the CCD cameras onboard XMM-Newton or Suzaku ,it is possible to decompose the SXRB into its foreground and background components spectroscopically.This is achieved using one spectrum toward a shadowing cloud,and one toward a pointing to the side of the cloud.The spectral shape of the absorbed background component (and hence of the overall spectrum)will differ between the two directions,because of the different absorbing col-umn densities.Therefore,by fitting a suitable multicom-ponent model simultaneously to the two spectra,one can separate out the foreground and background emis-sion components.Such a model will typically consist of an unabsorbed single-temperature (1T )thermal plasma model for the LB,an absorbed thermal plasma model for the Galactic halo,and an absorbed power-law for the ex-tragalactic background.The Galactic halo model could be a 1T model,a two-temperature (2T )model,or a dif-2HENLEY AND SHELTONferential emission measure (DEM)model (Galeazzi et al.2007;Henley et al.2007;S.J.Lei et al.,in preparation).Recent work has shown that there is an additional complication,as X-ray emission can originate within the solar system,via solar wind charge exchange (SWCX;Cox 1998;Cravens 2000).In this process,highly ion-ized species in the solar wind interact with neutral atoms within the solar system.An electron transfers from a neutral atom into an excited energy level of a solar wind ion,which then decays radiatively,emitting an X-ray photon.The neutral atoms may be in the outer reaches of the Earth’s atmosphere (giving rise to geo-coronal emission),or they may be in interstellar ma-terial flowing through the solar system (giving rise to heliospheric emission).It has been estimated that the heliospheric emission may contribute up to ∼50%of the observed soft X-ray flux (Cravens 2000).The geocoro-nal emission is typically an order of magnitude fainter,but during solar wind enhancements it can be of similar brightness to the heliospheric emission (Wargelin et al.2004).SWCX line emission has been observed with Chandra ,XMM-Newton ,and Suzaku (Wargelin et al.2004;Snowden,Collier,&Kuntz 2004;Fujimoto et al.2007).As the SWCX emission is time varying,it cannot easily be modeled out of a spectrum of the SXRB.If SWCX contamination is not taken into account,analyses of SXRB spectra will yield incorrect results for the LB and halo gas.This paper contains a demonstra-tion of this fact.Henley et al.(2007)analyzed a pair of XMM-Newton spectra of the SXRB using the pre-viously described shadowing technique.One spectrum was from a direction toward a nearby shadowing filament in the southern Galactic hemisphere (d =230±30pc;Penprase et al.1998),while the other was from a direc-tion ∼2◦away.The filament and the shadow it casts in the 1/4-keV background are shown in Figure 1.Contem-poraneous solar wind data from the Advanced Composi-tion Explorer (ACE )showed that the solar wind was steady during the XMM-Newton observations,without any flares or spikes.The proton flux was slightly lower than average,and the oxygen ion ratios were fairly typ-ical.These observations led Henley et al.(2007)to con-clude that their spectra were unlikely to be severely con-taminated by SWCX ing a 2T halo model,they obtained a LB temperature of log(T LB /K)=6.06and halo temperatures of log(T halo /K)=5.93and 6.43.The LB temperature and the hotter halo temperature are in good agreement with other recent measurements of the SXRB using XMM-Newton and Suzaku (Galeazzi et al.2007;Smith et al.2007),and with analysis of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (Kuntz &Snowden 2000).We have obtained spectra of the SXRB from the same directions as Henley et al.’s (2007)XMM-Newton spectra with the X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XIS;Koyama et al.2007)onboard the Suzaku X-ray obser-vatory (Mitsuda et al.2007).The XIS is an excellent tool for studying the SXRB,due to its low non-X-ray background and good spectral resolution.Our Suzaku pointing directions are shown in Figure 1.We analyze our Suzaku spectra using the same shadowing technique used by Henley et al.(2007).We find that there is poor agreement between the results of our Suzaku analysis and the results of the XMM-Newton analysis in Henley et al.(2007).We attribute this discrepancy to

solar wind flux measured by ACE is low and does not show flares.This paper is organized as follows.The Suzaku obser-vations and data reduction are described in §2.The anal-ysis of the spectra using multicomponent spectral models is described in §3.The discrepancy between the Suzaku results and the XMM-Newton results is discussed in §4.This discrepancy is due to the presence of an additional emission component in the XMM-Newton spectra,which we also describe in §4.In §5we measure the total intensi-ties of the oxygen lines in our Suzaku and XMM-Newton spectra.We concentrate on these lines because they are the brightest in our spectra,and are a major component of the 3/4-keV SXRB (McCammon et al.2002).In §6we present a simple model for estimating the intensity of the oxygen lines due to SWCX,which we compare with our observations.We discuss our results in §7,and con-clude with a summary in §8.Throughout this paper we quote 1σerrors.2.OBSERVATIONS AND DATA REDUCTIONBoth of our observations were carried out in early 2006March.The details of the observations are shown in Ta-ble 1.In the following,we just analyze data from the back-illuminated XIS1chip,as it is more sensitive at lower energies than the three front-illuminated chips.Our data were initially processed at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC)using processing version 1.2.2.3.We have carried out further processing and fil-tering,using HEAsoft 1v6.1.2and CIAO 2v3.4.We first combined the data taken in the 3×3and 5×5observa-tion modes.We then selected events with grades 0,2,3,4,and 6,and cleaned the data using the standard data selection criteria given in the Suzaku Data Reduc-tion Guide 3.We excluded the times that Suzaku passed through the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA),and also times up to 436s after passage through the SAA.We also excluded times when Suzaku ’s line of sight was el-evated less than 10◦above the Earth’s limb and/or was1/lheasoft

COR<6GV.However,the higher CORthreshold helps reduce the particle background,and forobservations of the SXRB one desires as low a particlebackground as possible.The COR threshold that weuse has been used for other Suzaku observations of theSXRB(Fujimoto et al.2007;Smith et al.2007).Finally,we binned the2.5–8.5keV data into256-s time bins,andused the CIAO script analyzepublic4HENLEY AND

equal to 1.5times the binned pixel size.The particle background has not been subtracted from the data.The red circles outline the regions that were excluded from the analysis (see text for details).in our fit (Snowden et al.1997).The R1and R2count-rates help constrain the model al lower energies (below ∼0.3keV),while the higher channels overlap in energy with our Suzaku spectra.We extracted the ROSAT spec-tra from 0.5◦radius circles centered on our two Suzaku pointing directions using the HEASARC X-ray Back-ground Tool 8v2.3.The spectral analysis was carried out using XSPEC 9v11.3.2(Arnaud 1996).For the thermal plasma com-ponents,we used the Astrophysical Plasma Emission Code (APEC)v1.3.1(Smith et al.2001)for the Suzaku data and the ROSAT R4–7bands,and the Raymond-Smith code (Raymond &Smith 1977and updates)for the ROSAT R1–3bands.For a given model component (i.e.,the LB or one of the two halo components),the tem-perature and normalization of the ROSAT Raymond-Smith model are tied to those of the corresponding Suzaku APEC model.We chose to use the Raymond-Smith code for the lower-energy ROSAT channels be-cause APEC’s spectral calculations below 0.25keV are inaccurate,due to a lack of data on transitions from L-shell ions of Ne,Mg,Al,Si,S,Ar,and Ca 10.As the upper-limit of the ROSAT R1and R2bands is 0.284keV,and the R3band also includes such low-energy photons (Snowden et al.1997),APEC is not ideal for fitting to these energy bands.For the absorption,we used the XSPEC phabs model,which uses cross-sections from Ba l uci´n ska-Church &McCammon (1992),with an updated He cross-section from Yan,Sadeghpour,&Dalgarno (1998).Following Henley et al.(2007),we used the interstellar chemical abundance table from Wilms,Allen,&McCray (2000).For many astrophysically abundant elements,these abundances are lower than those in the widely used solar abundance table of Anders &Grevesse (1989).However,recently several elements’solar photospheric abundances have been revised downwards (Asplund et al.2005),and are in good agreement with the Wilms et al.(2000)8/cgi-bin/Tools/xraybg/xraybg.pl9/docs/xanadu/xspec/xspec1110/atomdb/issuesOBSERVING CHARGE EXCHANGE WITH SUZAKU AND

the same model to the Suzaku data alone.Without the ROSAT data,we cannot con-strain the LB temperature T LB .We therefore fix it at the value determined in Model 2:T LB =105.98K.We also fix N C for the vphabs contamination component at the Model 2value:N C =0.28×1018cm −2.The best-fitting model parameters are in very good agree-ment with those obtained by fitting jointly to the Suzaku and ROSAT spectra (compare Models 2and 5).We can only get consistent results between the Suzaku -ROSAT joint fit and the fit to just the Suzaku data by using a two-temperature model for the halo.However,note that the Model 5LB emission measure is consistent (within its errorbar)with zero.This is not to say that our data imply that there is no LB at all:as noted above,we need a LB component and two halo components to get a good joint fit to the Suzaku and ROSAT data.Instead,the Model 5results imply that our Suzaku data are consis-tent with the LB not producing significant emission in the Suzaku band (i.e.,E 0.3keV).Also shown in Table 7are the results of fitting our model (without any LB component)to the on-and off-filament Suzaku spectra individually (Models 6and 7,respectively).As has already been noted,the normaliza-tion of the extragalactic background differs significantly between the two spectra.However,the plasma model pa-rameters for the individual spectra are in good agreement with each other.These results seem to justify allowing the extragalactic normalization to differ between the two spectra while keeping all other model parameters equal for the two spectra.3.3.Chemical Abundances in the HaloWe investigated the chemical abundances of the X-ray-emissive halo gas by repeating the above-described mod-eling,but allowing the abundances of certain elements in the halo components to vary.In particular we wished to investigate whether or not varying the neon and magne-sium halo abundances improved the fits to the Ne ix and Mg xi features noted above.We also allowed the abun-dance of iron to vary,as iron is an important contributor of halo line emission to the Suzaku band.For this investigation we just fit to the Suzaku data,fixing the LB temperature at log(T LB /K)=5.98,and fixing the carbon column density of the vphabs contam-ination component at N C =0.28×1018cm −2.As we could not accurately determine the level of the contin-uum due to hydrogen,we could not measure absolute abundances.Instead,we estimated the abundances rel-ative to oxygen by holding the oxygen abundance at its Wilms et al.(2000)value,and allowing the abundances of neon,magnesium,and iron to vary.Both halo com-ponents were constrained to have the same abundances.The best-fitting temperatures and emission measures of the various model components are presented as Model 8in Table 7,and the abundances are presented in Table 2.The best-fitting model parameters are not significantly affected by allowing certain elements’abun-dances to vary (compare Model 8with Model 5).Iron does not seem to be enhanced or depleted relative to oxy-gen in the halo.Neon and magnesium both appear to be enhanced in the halo relative to oxygen,which is what one would expect from Figures 3and 5,as

mag-nesium emission.We discuss these results in§§7.2and§7.5.In§7.2we discuss the possibility that the enhanced neon and mag-nesium emission is in fact due to SWCX contamination of these lines,rather than being due to these elements being enhanced in the halo.On the other hand,in§7.5 we discuss the implications of neon really being enhanced in the halo with respect to oxygen and iron.PARING THE SUZAKU AND XMM-NEWTONSPECTRAFor comparison,Table7also contains the results of the analysis of the XMM-Newton spectra from the same ob-servation directions by Henley et al.(2007).The Model9 results are taken directly from their“standard”model. However,it should be noted that Henley et al.(2007) used APEC to model all of their data,whereas in the analysis described above we used the Raymond-Smith code to model the ROSAT R1–3bands.We have therefore reanalyzed the XMM-Newton+ROSAT spec-tra,this time using the Raymond-Smith code to model the ROSAT R1–3bands,and using APEC to model the ROSAT R4–7bands and the XMM-Newton spec-tra.This new analysis allows a fairer comparison of our XMM-Newton results with our Suzaku results.The XMM-Newton spectra we analyzed are identical to those used by Henley et al.(2007)–see that paper for details of the data reduction.We added a broken power-law to the model to take into account soft-proton contamination in the XMM-Newton spectra.This broken power-law was not folded through XMM-Newton’s effective area, and was allowed to differ for the on-and off-filament datasets(see Henley et al.2007).The presence of this contamination means we cannot independently constrain the normalization of the extragalactic background.We therefore freeze the on-and off-filament normalizations at the Suzaku-determined values.The results of this new analysis are presented as Model10in Table7.As can be seen,there is poor agreement between the best-fit parameters of the Suzaku +ROSAT model(Model2)and the XMM-Newton+ ROSAT model(Model10).We believe this discrepancy is due to an extra emission component in the XMM-Newton spectra.In Figure7we plot the differences between the XMM-Newton spectra and our best-fitting0.10.20.30.40.5data-model(ctss-1keV-1)On filament MOS 1MOS 2

data(Table7,Model2).The gap in the data between1.4and1.9keV is where two bright instrumental lines have been removed.Suzaku+ROSAT model(Model2from Table7).To our best-fitting Suzaku+ROSAT model we have added a broken power-law to model the soft-proton contami-nation in the XMM-Newton spectra.The parameters of this broken power-law are frozen at the values de-termined from thefitting to the XMM-Newton spectra described in the previous paragraph.The on-filament XMM-Newton spectra show excess line emission at∼0.57 and∼0.65keV,most likely due to O vii and O viii,re-spectively.The features in the off-filament spectra are not as clear.However,there appears to be excess O vii emission in the MOS1spectrum,and excess emission at ∼0.7keV(of uncertain origin)and∼0.9keV(proba-bly Ne ix)in the MOS2spectrum.We can estimate the significance of the excess emission by calculatingχ2 for the XMM-Newton data compared with the Suzaku +ROSAT model.We concentrate on the excess oxy-gen emission and calculateχ2for the0.5–0.7keV energy range.Wefindχ2=106.28for24degrees of freedom for the on-filament spectra,andχ2=43.03for22degrees of freedom for the off-filament spectra.These correspond toχ2probabilities of2.5×10−12and0.0047,respectively, implying that the excesses are significant in both sets of spectra at the1%level.We measure the intensities of the extra oxygen emis-sion byfittingδ-functions at E=0.570keV and 0.654keV to the excess spectra in Figure7.Wefit theseδ-functions simultaneously to the on-and off-filament XMM-Newton excess spectra.The intensities of the excess oxygen emission in the XMM-Newton spec-tra over the best-fitting Suzaku+ROSAT model are 3.8±0.5L.U.(O vii)and1.4±0.3L.U.(O viii).We believe that this excess oxygen emission is due to SWCX contamination in our XMM-Newton spectra.As noted in the Introduction,this was not taken into ac-count in the original analysis of the XMM-Newton spec-tra.This is because the solar windflux was steady and slightly below average during the XMM-Newton obser-vations,leading Henley et al.(2007)to conclude that SWCX contamination was unlikely to be significant.We discuss the SWCX contamination in our spectra further in§6.5.MEASURING THE OXYGEN LINES8HENLEY AND SHELTONAs well as using the above-described method to sep-arate the LB emission from the halo emission,we mea-sured the total intensities of the O vii complex and O viii line at∼0.57and∼0.65keV in each spectrum.These lines are a major component of the SXRB,accounting for the majority of the observed ROSAT R4diffuse back-ground that is not due to resolved extragalactic discrete sources(McCammon et al.2002),and are easily the most prominent lines in our Suzaku spectra.To measure the oxygen line intensities,we used a model consisting of an absorbed power-law,an absorbed APEC model whose oxygen abundance is set to zero,and two δ-functions to model the oxygen lines.As in the pre-vious section,the power-law models the extragalactic background,and its photon index was frozen at1.46 (Chen et al.1997).The APEC model,meanwhile,mod-els the line emission from elements other than oxygen, and the thermal continuum emission.The absorbing columns used were the same as those used in the ear-lier Suzaku analysis.As with our earlier analysis,we multiplied the whole model by a vphabs component to model the contamination on the optical blockingfilter which is in addition to that included in the CALDB con-tamination model(see§3.2).Wefix the carbon column density of this component at0.28×1018cm−2(Table7, Model2).Wefit this model simultaneously to our on-and off-filament spectra.However,all the model param-eters were independent for the two directions,except for the oxygen line energies–these were free parameters in thefit,but were constrained to be the same in the on-and off-filament spectra.We used essentially the same method to measure the oxygen line intensities in our XMM-Newton spectra.However,we did not use a vphabs contamination model,and,as before,we added a broken power-law to model the soft-proton contami-nation.Table3gives the energies and total observed intensities of the O vii and O viii emission measured from our Suzaku and XMM-Newton spectra.We can use the difference in the absorbing column for the on-and off-filament directions to decompose the ob-served line intensities into foreground(LB+SWCX)and background(halo)intensities.If I fg and I halo are the in-trinsic foreground and halo line intensities,respectively, then the observed on-filament intensity I on is given byI on=I fg+e−τon I halo,(1) whereτon is the on-filament optical depth at the energy of the line.There is a similar expression for the observed off-filament intensity I off,involving the off-filament op-tical depthτoff.These expressions can be rearranged to giveI fg=eτon I on−eτoff I offe−τon−e−τoff.(3) For the purposes of this decomposition,we use the Ba l uci´n ska-Church&McCammon(1992)cross-sections (with an updated He cross-section;Yan et al.1998)with the Wilms et al.(2000)interstellar abundances.We use the cross-sections at the measured energies of the lines. For the Suzaku measurements,the cross-sections we use are7.17×10−22cm2for O vii(E=0.564keV)and 4.66×10−22cm2for O viii(E=0.658keV).For the XMM-Newton O vii emission we use a cross-section of 7.03×10−22cm2(E=0.568keV).We cannot decom-pose the XMM-Newton O viii emission because the on-filament O viii line is brighter than the off-filament line. This gives rise to a negative halo intensity,which is un-physical.The results of this decomposition are presented in Ta-ble4.Note that the foreground oxygen intensities mea-sured from the Suzaku spectra are consistent with zero. This is consistent with our earlierfinding that the Suzaku spectra are consistent with there being no local emis-sion in the Suzaku band(see§3.2).The difference be-tween the foreground O vii intensities measured from our XMM-Newton and Suzaku spectra is5.1±3.1L.U.. This is consistent with the O vii intensity measured from the excess XMM-Newton emission over the best-fitting Suzaku+ROSAT model(3.8±0.5L.U.;see§4).The halo O vii intensities measured from our XMM-Newton and Suzaku spectra are consistent with each other.This is as expected,as we would not expect the halo intensity to significantly change in∼4years.6.MODELING THE SOLAR WIND CHARGE EXCHANGEEMISSIONIn§§4and5we presented evidence that our XMM-Newton spectra contain an extra emission component,in addition to the components needed to explain the Suzaku spectra.In particular,the O vii and O viii emission are enhanced in the XMM-Newton spectra.We attribute this extra component to SWCX emission,as it seems unlikely to be due to a change in the Local Bubble or halo emission.This extra component helps explain why our XMM-Newton and Suzaku analyses give such different results in Table7.Previous observations of SWCX have found that in-creases in the SWCX emission are associated with en-hancements in the solar wind,as measured by ACE. These enhancements consist of an increase in the pro-tonflux,and may also include a shift in the ionization balance to higher ionization stages(Snowden et al.2004; Fujimoto et al.2007).In§6.1,we present a simple model for heliospheric and geocoronal SWCX emission,and use contemporaneous solar wind data from the ACE and WIND satellites to determine whether or not the ob-served enhancement of the oxygen lines in the XMM-Newton spectra is due to differences in the solar wind between our two sets of observations.In addition to the variability associated with solar wind enhancements,the heliospheric SWCX intensity is also expected to vary during the solar cycle,due to the dif-ferent states of the solar wind at solar maximum and solar minimum(Koutroumpa et al.2006).As our two sets of observations were taken∼4years apart,at differ-ent points in the solar cycle,in§6.2we examine whether the SWCX intensity variation during the solar cycle can explain our observations.6.1.A Simple Model for Heliospheric and GeocoronalSWCX Emission6.1.1.The BasicsA SWCX line from a X+n ion of element X results from a charge exchange interaction between a X+(n+1) ion in the solar wind and a neutral atom.The intensity of that line therefore depends on the density of X+(n+1)。

The XMM-Newton view of radio-quiet and X-ray dim isolated neutron stars

The XMM-Newton view of radio-quiet and X-ray dim isolated neutron stars

a r X i v :a s t r o -p h /0401075v 1 7 J a n 2004Mem.S.A.It.Vol.,1cSAIt 2002MemoriedellaF.HaberlMax-Planck-Institut f¨u r extraterrestrische Physik,Giessenbachstraße,85748Garching,GermanyAbstract.As part of the guaranteed time,guest observer and calibration pro-grams,XMM-Newton extensively observed a group of six thermally emitting,isolated neutron stars which are neither connected with a supernova remnant nor show pulsed radio emission.The high statistical quality of the EPIC data allows a detailed and homogeneous analysis of their temporal and spectral properties.Four of the six sources are now well established as X-ray pulsars:The 11.37s period discovered in EPIC-pn data of RX J0806.4−4123was confirmed in a second XMM-Newton observation.In the case of the X-ray faintest of the six stars,RX J0420.0−5022the period marginally indicated in ROSAT data was not seen in the EPIC data,instead a 3.45s pulse period was clearly detected.Spectral variations with pulse phase were discovered for the known 8.39s pul-sar RX J0720.4−3125and also RBS1223.For the latter EPIC data revealed a double-peaked pulse profile for a neutron star spin period of 10.31s.The X-ray continuum spectra of all six objects are consistent with a Planckian energy distribution with black-body temperatures kT between 40eV and 100eV.EPIC data of the pulsars RBS1223and RX J0720.4−3125revealed a broad absorption feature in their spectra at energies of 100-300eV and ∼260eV,re-spectively.The depth of this feature varies with pulse phase and may be caused by cyclotron resonance scattering of protons or heavy ions in a strong magnetic field.In such a picture the inferred field strength exceeds 1013Gauss,in the case of RX J0720.4−3125consistent with the value estimated from its pulse pe-riod derivative.A similar absorption feature in the RGS and EPIC spectra of RX J1605.3+3249was reported recently.Key words.X-rays:stars –stars:neutron –stars:magnetic fields1.IntroductionPresently more than half a dozen ROSAT-discovered X-ray dim isolated neutron stars (XDINs,for recent reviews see Treves et al.2 F.Haberl:Radio-quiet and X-ray dim isolated neutronstarsFig.1.EPIC-pn light curves folded on the pulse period for the four pulsars among the XDINs.remnants.Some of them exhibit pulsationsin their X-rayflux indicating the neutronstar rotation period.Although there is littledoubt that the soft X-rays are of thermalorigin from the surface of an isolated neu-tron star,the details for the formation ofthe spectrum are not clear.XMM-Newtonobserved six XDINs as part of the guaran-teed time,guest observer and calibrationprograms.Here I summarize some of thefirst results of a homogeneous analysis oftheir temporal and spectral properties.2.X-ray pulsationsThe second brightest of the known XDINsis RX J0720.4−3125and was thefirstdiscovered as X-ray pulsar(Haberl et al.1997)with a period of8.39s.XMM-Newton observed RX J0720.4−3125sixtimes.As example the folded EPIC-pnlight curve from satellite revolution534is drawn in Fig.1which shows a pulsedfraction of about11%.In Chandra dataof RBS1223=1RXS J130848.6+212708Hambaryan et al.(2002)discovered pulsa-tions with a period of5.16s and XMM-Newton observations revealed that the trueneutron star spin period is more likely10.31s.This is supported by pulse phase de-pendent hardness ratio variations whichare different for the two intensity max-ima(Haberl et al.2003).RBS1223ex-hibits the deepest modulation of the knownXDINs in its double peaked pulse profileof18%(Fig.1).Thefirst XMM-Newtonobservation of RX J0806.4−4123revealeda6%modulation(Fig.1)with a periodof11.37s(Haberl&Zavlin2002)whichwas confirmed in a second observation(Haberl et al.2004a).Four XMM-Newtonobservations of RX J0420.0−5022did notconfirm the22.7s pulsations originally in-dicated in ROSAT data,but clearly re-F.Haberl:Radio-quiet and X-ray dim isolated neutron stars3veal a3.45s period.The pulsed fraction is about12%(Fig.1).In Table1the de-rived pulse periods for the four pulsars are summarized together with pulse period derivatives assuming linear period changes between multiple XMM-Newton observa-tions.In most cases the time base line is too short to determine precise˙P values, only for RX J0720.4−3125observations by different satellites cover already more than 10years(Zane et al.2002;Kaplan et al. 2002).3.X-ray spectraThe X-ray spectra of XDINs obtained by the ROSAT PSPC were all consistent with black-body emission little attenuated by interstellar absorption suggesting that the objects are close-by.To look for ab-sorption features which may be created by heavy chemical elements in the stel-lar atmosphere high resolution spectra of RX J1856.4−3754were obtained by the LETGS on Chandra(Burwitz et al.2001, 2003).Surprisingly,no significant narrow features were detected.A spectral analysis(in a homogenous way using the latest calibration data)of the EPIC-pn spectra,which are of unprece-dented statistical quality,shows that in sev-eral cases a black-body model yields un-satisfactoryfits.The strongest deviations are seen from RBS1223and Haberl et al. (2003)demonstrate that a non-magnetic atmosphere models can neither explain the observed spectrum.However,it was found that adding an absorption feature mod-eled by a broad(100eV)Gaussian line at an energy between100and300eV to the Planckian continuum yields accept-ablefits.Similarly,but at a higher en-ergy of450eV and therefore inside the sensitive band of the RGS instruments van Kerkwijk(2004)presented the detec-tion of a broad absorption feature in the spectra of RX J1605.3+3249.Haberl et al. (2004b)report a broad absorption fea-ture in the EPIC-pn spectra of the pul-sar RX J0720.4−3125at an energy of270eV andfind that the depth of the feature varies with pulse phase by a factor of∼2. Finally,also spectra of RX J0420.0−5022 indicate a possible absorption line at330 eV(Haberl et al.2004a).In Table1the spectral parameters in-ferred from thefits using the two mod-els(absorbed black-body and absorbed black-body with Gaussian-shaped absorp-tion line)are listed.Thefirst value given for column density N H and black-body tem-perature kT refers to the model without ab-sorption line and the second to the model with line added.4.DiscussionFour of the six X-ray-dim isolated neu-tron stars are now known as X-ray pul-sars with spin periods between3.45s and 11.37s.The fraction of pulsedflux in their folded X-ray light curves ranges between 6%and18%.RBS1223,RX J0720.4−3125 and RX J0420.0−5022show hardness ratio variations with pulse phase(Haberl et al. 2003,2004b,a)while for RX J0806.4−4123 the shallow modulation makes the signifi-cant detection of such an effect more diffi-cult(Haberl et al.2004a).Pulse phase re-solved spectra for thefirst three pulsars show that the temperature changes only marginally with pulse phase.Any model for the pulsed emission from this group of iso-lated neutron stars must be able to explain this behaviour.An important piece of information comes from the detection of broad ab-sorption features in the X-ray spectra of several XDINs.At least in the case of RX J0720.4−3125the depth of the feature varies strongly with pulse phase.A likely interpretation of these features is cyclotron resonance absorption which can be ex-pected in spectra from magnetized neutron stars withfield strength B in the range of 1010–1011G or2×1013–2×1014G if caused by electrons or protons,respectively.In the case of RX J0720.4−3125the measured˙P, if interpreted as magnetic dipole braking, rules out the lower range for B,leaving pro-4 F.Haberl:Radio-quiet and X-ray dim isolated neutron starsTable1.X-ray-dim isolated neutron stars observed by XMM-NewtonRX J0420.0−5022 3.453<9×10−12 1.0/2.045/45330?6?

A New Approach for Filtering Nonlinear Systems

A New Approach for Filtering Nonlinear Systems

computational overhead as the number of calculations demanded for the generation of the Jacobian and the predictions of state estimate and covariance are large. In this paper we describe a new approach to generalising the Kalman filter to systems with nonlinear state transition and observation models. In Section 2 we describe the basic filtering problem and the notation used in this paper. In Section 3 we describe the new filter. The fourth section presents a summary of the theoretical analysis of the performance of the new filter against that of the EKF. In Section 5 we demonstrate the new filter in a highly nonlinear application and we conclude with a discussion of the implications of this new filter1

A2065will be re-observed with XMM-Newton,and thus here we discuss only preliminary results.The background estimates were obtained using a blank-sky observation con-sisting of several high-latitude pointings with sources removed(Lumb et al. (2002)),and source and background events were corrected for vignetting us-ing the eviweight task in the Science Analysis System(SAS),enabling us to use the on-axis response matrices and effective area.Table1Journal of observations.z0.0860.0720.096RA(J2000)13h30m52s15h22m42.6s22h49m38.6sDec(J2000)−01o50′27′′+27o43′′21′′−64o23′15′′Obs time(ks)302330N H(1020cm−2)a 2.39 2.95 2.94Global T(keV) 3.87(2.84)b 5.4 5.0(a)(b)(c)Fig.1.(a)XMM-Newton EPIC0.3-7.0keV energy band count image of A1750;(b)MOS1+MOS20.1-1.4keV energy band count image of A2065,the band chosen to enhance cluster emission above the strong particle background;(c) XMM-Newton EPIC0.3-10keV energy band count image of A3921.These are raw, non-background subtracted images.to A1750were taken into account simultaneously.We found that A1750does not show significant residuals above aβ-model,in the region between the two clusters,but there is some excess emission in their cores.On the other hand,A3921shows large residuals to the west(other than those(a)(b)Fig.2.Surface brightness maps of A1750(a)and A3921(b)in the soft energy band (0.3-2.0keV).Contours are the residuals above a2Dβ-model which was subtracted from the image.Thefirst contour is at1σ.in the centre of the main cluster),indicating that a significant substructure is present and it is related to one or both the brightest galaxies in that area.The two galaxies are at7arcmin(RA=22h48m49s,Dec=−64◦23′10′′(J2000))to the north-west(BG2)and at8arcmin(RA=22h49m04s,Dec=−64◦20′35′′(J2000))to the WNW(BG3)from the central brightest galaxy BG1(RA= 22h49m58s;Dec=−64◦25′46′′(J2000);see Belsole et al.2005for details).3.2Temperature distributionWe computed temperature maps for A1750and A3921by applying the multi-scale spectro-imagery algorithm described in(Bourdin et al.,2004).EMOS cameras only were used for this analysis.For A2065,we obtained an hardness ratio(HR)map once the particle contamination was modelled and subtracted from the images.This gives us qualitative,but significant results about tem-perature substructure in this cluster.The temperature maps are shown in Figure3.All three clusters show significant temperature variations,even in the cases where surface brightness substructures were not detected(A1750).As is con-firmed by extraction of spectra from discrete regions(Belsole et al.,2004), the region between A1750N and A1750C has a temperature which is signif-icantly(30%)hotter than the global temperature of either the two clusters. Additional temperature gradients are observed in A1750C,indicating that this(a)(b)(c)Fig.3.Temperature maps.The wavelet algorithm described in Bourdin et al.(2004) was used for A1750(a)and A3921(c).In the case of A2065(b)the image is an hardness ratio map(see text for details).cluster was already perturbed in the past.The temperature enhancement,coincident with the isophotal compression, observed in the A2065HR map points to a bow shock.We also detect a cool core,coincident with the peak of X-ray emission.The orientation of the striking hot temperature bar in A3921represents our strongest proof against the interpretation that this is a merger before close core passage.The temperature here varies between7and8keV,up to60% higher than the main cluster temperature.4DiscussionFor each cluster we summarise the results obtained in the previous sections.A1750(1)From the morphological analysis we found:off-centre cores and twist ofthe isophotes,but lack of substructure in the region between the two clusters.(2)the temperature increases weakly(∼30%),but significantly,in the regionbetween the two clusters(3)strong temperature variations are observed within the main cluster(A1750C)and we also measured a discontinuity in the gas density profile of order 20%.(4)we found a high entropy in the core of the two clusters(see Belsole et al.2004)The combination of these results lead us to interpret A1750as an ongoing merger between two clusters of similar masses,which have just started to in-teract at a real distance comparable to their virial radii.These two units will be in the compact phase(core passage)within1Gyr.However the temperature and density variations within A1750C itself are not explicable by the merger event occurring with A1750N and are intrinsic to this cluster.The most likely interpretation is that this is the signature of(a)previous merger(s).A1750is a good observational test case to be compared with numerical simulations, since it shows all of the signatures expected from gravitationally dominated processes.However,the fact that effects of a previous merger are observed strongly supports the necessity of taking into account time dependent quan-tities,such us the relaxation time,in using galaxy clusters for cosmological purposes.A2065The surface brightness shows an isophotal compression towards the south-east,at∼80arcsec from the X-ray peak.The feature is accompanied by a forward shock in the same axis(NW-SE);moreover a surviving cooling coreis detected.Despite the limited quality of the data,A2065shows clear signatures of be-ing an ongoing merger in the compact phase,when the detection of strong shocks is the most favourable.This is similar to what is observed in numer-ical simulations of head-on collisions of merging clusters.The fact that thecore of the main cluster is cool suggests that this is probably the remnantof a cooling core,and thus the colliding object was probably of smaller mass (e.g.G´o mez et al.,2002).The new XMM-Newton observations of this object should allow us to put better constraint on these preliminary results.A3921Observational merger evidence includes:(1)Two peaks in both the X-ray emission and the galaxy distribution(Ferrari et al.,2005);(2)The hot bar is oriented parallel to the line joining the subclusters,it isnot orthogonal,as in the case of A1750;(3)The central regions of the main cluster and the subcluster to the westare strongly perturbed;(4)There is an off-set between the galaxy distribution of the smaller sub-cluster and the secondary X-ray peak(Belsole et al.,2005;Ferrari et al.,2005).This evidence cannot be interpreted as the result of a pre-merger.We are seeing maybe the best example of an X-ray observed off-axis post-merger.The subcluster has come from somewhere in the SE and is currently exiting towards the NW.The two merging units have different masses,on a ratio of1to3(or1to5;see also Ferrari et al.2005).Comparison of these high qualityX-ray results with optical observations and numerical simulations yield an estimate of the age of the merger of order0.5Gyr after core passage.Off-axis mergers are more likely to occur than head-on ones,and they are more efficientin mixing the gas via turbulence.If anything,A3921needs even deeper study,and the combination of these XMM-Newton data with upcoming Chandra observations will give further elements to our interpretation.5ConclusionsThe XMM-Newton observations of this small sample of galaxy clusters has confirmed that the comparison of X-ray morphology and temperature is an excellent tool to understand the dynamical status of these objects.In the case of A1750and A3921,spectroscopy of discrete regions((Belsole et al., 2004,2005)has confirmed the significance of the temperature structure found with the multi-scale wavelet approach.The significance of the temperature structure in A2065will be investigated with the upcoming XMM-Newton ob-servation.For the better studied cases we have confirmed the previous inter-pretation of a recent merger(A1750),but have added new evidence suggesting that at least one of the subclusters is itself a merger remnant.Good quality X-ray data have allowed us to completely revolutionise the interpretation of the dynamical state of A3921.We can organise these clusters along an evolutionary path,where A1750rep-resents the beginning of a merging event,which in a timescale of order1.5 Gyr will be in the same state as A2065,when a bow shock is departing in the direction of motion after the two cores have collided,and the two(or maybe more)colliding objects are not physically separable anymore.Finally,A3921 represents the epoch when the secondary object has already passed the close core passage phase,it is exiting on the far side with respect to the direction of motion,and it will be accreted by the main cluster on a larger timescale (of order3-5Gyr).From so small a sample we cannot extract global conclusions on the popu-lation of merging galaxy clusters.However,this work supports the necessity of a wider investigation of the effect of the physics of mergers on the global characteristics of galaxy clusters,especially if these objects are to be used to derive cosmological parameters.ReferencesBeers,T.C.,Gebhardt,K.,Forman,W.,Huchra,J.P.,Jones,C.,1991,AJ, 102,1581-1609,A dynamical analysis of

窄线赛弗特I型星系中可能具有吸积盘热辐射起源的软X射线超

窄线赛弗特I型星系中可能具有吸积盘热辐射起源的软X射线超李晔【摘要】理论上,低质量高吸积率活动星系核的标准吸积盘黑体热辐射有可能形成软X射线波段的超出.然而,活动星系核的软X射线超温度为0.1 keV左右,显著高于标准吸积盘理论预言的最高有效温度.只有Yuan等人在2010年报道的RXJ1633+4718是一个例外,其软超温度为32.5±-8.06.0eV,显著小于0.1 keV,并与吸积盘理论预言的温度相符;此外,其光度也符合吸积盘的理论预期.因此该软X射线超很可能起源于吸积盘的热辐射.这一类源对于吸积盘理论和软X射线超的研究都有重要意义.文中使用ROSAT PSPC数据,在所有已知的窄线赛弗特I型星系(Narrow Line Seyfert I galaxies,NLSIs)中寻找类似于RXJ1633+4718的源,即软X射线超可能起源于吸积盘热辐射的源.分析了150个源的245条光谱,其中58个源的90条光谱具有显著的软X射线超.样本中软X射线超温度分布的平均值-Tsoft为0.10 keV,标准偏差为0.03 keV.除了RX J1633+4718外,只有3个源的软X射线超温度小于60 eV,而且温度接近吸积盘最高温度.这个结果表明,类似于RX J1633+4718的具有低温软X射线超的源很稀少.最后,在具有黑洞质量估计的26个源中,软超温度与黑洞质量MBH、爱丁顿比L/LEdd及预期吸积盘最高温度Tmax都没有明显的关联性,与前人的结果一致.%It is theoretically expected that the thermal radiation from accretion disks of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) with low black hole mass would contribute to the soft X-ray band and result in an excess emission. However, the temperatures of the observed soft X-ray excess of AGNs are typically around 0.1 keV, significantly higher than those predicted by the standard disk model. There is only oneexception found so far, R.X J1633+4718, which has a significantly low soft excess temperature of 32.5l+8.0-6.0 eV, consistent with the maximum temperature as well as the luminosity of the predicted disk emission(Yuan et al. 2010).rnIn this paper, we search for RX J1633 like AGNs, whose soft X-ray excess temperature is close to the maximum temperature of accretion disk, in all known Narrow Line Seyfert I galaxies (NLSIs) observed with ROSAT PSPC in the archive. We analyzed the PSPC spectra of 150 NLSIs (245 observations) in total, 58 (90 observations) of which show significantly soft X-ray excess emission. In addition to RX J1633+4718, only 3 objects (4 observations) show soft X-ray excess temperatures less than 60 eV and close to the theoretical prediction of the disk emission. They form a sample of candidates for future follow-up studies. Our result indicates that RX J1633+4718 like objects are very rare. The correlations between the temperature of the soft X-ray excess and black hole mass as well as the Eddington ratio are also investigated, and no correlation is found. This confirms the previous results, and implies that the soft X-ray excess of most AGNs should originate from other mechanisms rather than the thermal emission of the accretion disk.【期刊名称】《天文学进展》【年(卷),期】2013(031)001【总页数】14页(P110-123)【关键词】活动星系核;吸积盘X射线热辐射;软X射线超【作者】李晔【作者单位】中国科学院国家天文台/云南天文台,昆明650011;中国科学院大学,北京100049;中国科学院国家天文台,北京100012【正文语种】中文【中图分类】P157.6活动星系核中心存在超大质量黑洞,物质落入中心黑洞的过程中形成吸积流,并产生辐射[1-3]。

活动星系核X射线本征谱指数与爱丁顿比关系的研究进展

活动星系核X射线本征谱指数与爱丁顿比关系的研究进展倪嘉阳;薛永泉【摘要】活动星系核是中央核区有剧烈活动的(河外)星系总称.随着观测技术不断进步,人们对活动星系核的研究越来越多,对其理解也越来越深刻.总结整理了近年来对活动星系核X射线本征谱指数与爱丁顿比关系的观测结果,揭示出如下V形关系图像:随着爱丁顿比由大变小,X射线本征谱指数与爱丁顿比由存在正相关关系,转变为存在负相关关系.一般认为,这一观测现象反映了随着吸积率的降低,黑洞吸积模式发生了变化,由高吸积率时的标准薄盘吸积变为低吸积率时的辐射无效吸积流.这表明,基于标准薄盘的最基本的活动星系核统一模型虽然能够成功地解释较高光度活动星系核的很多观测现象,但却需要做一定的修正,以解释低光度活动星系核的一些观测性质.同时,将来有希望利用这一相关关系估算活动星系核一些重要参数,如中央超大黑洞质量、吸积率等,从而帮助人们更好地理解活动星系核的辐射机制和演化过程.最后对这一领域的研究进行了总结与展望.%Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are galaxies that have strong activities at their centers. Due to continual progress in observational technologies, a wide variety ofresearches&nbsp;on AGN have been carried out, leading to profound understanding of the nature of AGN. This paper collects and summarizes recent observational results about the correlation between X-ray intrinsic photon index and Eddington ratio in AGN, which present a V-shape correlation:as the Eddington ratio decreases continuously, such a correlation changes from being positive into being negative. It is generally believed that these observational results reflect that, as the accretion rate decreases, the black hole accretion mode changes as well, from theoriginal standard thin disk into radiatively ine?cient accretion flow. This indicates that the very basic AGN unification models based on the standard thin accretion disk have to be modified in order to well explain some observed properties of the low-luminosity AGN, although those models enjoy great success in explaining many observations of the AGN with higher luminosities. In the future, it is possible to use this correlation (if refined further) to estimate some important AGN parameters such as the black hole mass and accretion rate, which will facilitate our better understanding of the radiation mechanisms and evolution of AGN. Finally, this paper is concluded with some future prospects in this research field.【期刊名称】《天文学进展》【年(卷),期】2017(035)004【总页数】19页(P398-416)【关键词】活动星系核;X射线天文学;吸积物理【作者】倪嘉阳;薛永泉【作者单位】中国科学技术大学天文学系,合肥 230026;中国科学院星系与宇宙学重点实验室,合肥 230026;中国科学技术大学天文学系,合肥 230026;中国科学院星系与宇宙学重点实验室,合肥 230026【正文语种】中文【中图分类】P157.6活动星系核(active galactic nucleus,简称AGN)是宇宙中光度最大的一类天体,其在整个电磁波段都有很强的辐射。

泰勒幂法则生态学意义

泰勒幂法则生态学意义

泰勒幂法则生态学意义泰勒幂法则是一个描述物种多样性分布的经验规律,它指出物种的数量与其个体的体积或重量之间存在着一个幂函数的关系。

这个规律在生态学中应用十分广泛,对于理解物种多样性的形成、物种生态学特征的预测以及生态系统的稳定性等都有重要意义。

1.物种多样性的形成:泰勒幂法则提供了解释物种多样性形成的一种机制。

根据这一规律,较大的物种数量较少,这可能是因为其较大的身体体积需要更多的资源来维持生存,而这些资源往往在一个生态系统中是有限的,因此较大物种的数量较少。

而较小的物种由于体积较小,对资源需求相对较少,可以占据更多的生态位,因此数量相对较多。

这一分布模式促进了物种间的共存和资源的合理利用。

2.物种生态学特征的预测:根据泰勒幂法则,我们可以通过测量物种的体积或重量来预测其数量。

这对于研究物种的数量动态变化、进行保护和管理工作以及评估生态系统的稳定性等都具有重要意义。

例如,当我们在一个生态系统中测量到其中一物种的体积或重量时,可以根据泰勒幂法则推测出其数量的范围,从而更好地了解该物种的种群状况和生态学特征。

3.生态系统的稳定性:泰勒幂法则对于生态系统的稳定性具有重要影响。

根据这一规律,生态系统中的大多数物种都是小型的,数量较多。

这种分布模式使得生态系统对外界的干扰具有一定的弹性,当一些物种受到干扰而减少时,其他物种可以填补空缺,保持生态系统的稳定性。

此外,物种的数量分布也影响着食物链和食物网的结构,在这些网络中,小型物种扮演着重要的角色,起到能量转化和传递的关键作用。

4.物种保护和管理:泰勒幂法则可以帮助我们更好地了解物种的数量和分布,从而更好地进行物种保护和管理工作。

通过对不同物种的体积或重量进行测量,我们可以推测出它们的数量范围,并进一步评估其濒危程度和潜在的威胁。

这为我们采取有效的保护措施和管理策略提供了重要的依据。

综上所述,泰勒幂法则在生态学中具有重要的意义,它帮助我们理解物种多样性的形成机制,预测物种的数量动态变化,了解生态系统的稳定性,并指导物种保护和管理工作。

基于电子束离子阱的天体X射线和极紫外辐射研究进展

基于电子束离子阱的天体X射线和极紫外辐射研究进展彭吉敏;仲佳勇;梁贵云;刘畅【摘要】观测光谱是研究天体的基础资料,对这些光谱的理解主要依靠理论模型.由于各模型依赖于众多的基本原子参数,且不同的模型对同一特定对象有不同的理解,所以对这些模型进行实验校准十分重要.电子束离子阱(electron beam ion trap,简称EBIT)能够产生与天体环境类似的等离子体环境,因此基于电子束离子阱的实验室光谱测量极大地促进了对天体X射线和极紫外辐射的研究.主要对以下内容进行介绍:卫星观测光谱和理论数值计算的现状及所面临的问题;基于电子束离子阱的类氖铁(Fe XVII)3C/3D重要诊断谱线比的最新研究进展;近年来实验室电子束离子阱对X射线和极紫外辐射的测量进展.最后,对现有的实验室光谱研究工作予以简要的展望.%Observed spectram is the basic data for celestial research. In recent years, with the enhancement of space, equipment, imaging technologies and simulation techniques, spec-trometers with larger effective area have provided abundant X-ray and extreme ultra-violet spectra with high resolution. These spectral data which will post deep insights on different ob jects, such as plasma heating, accretion of compact ob jects, energy storage and release, emission structure, feedback of supernova, as well as kinetics and dynamics in X-ray/EUV emitters, are mainly dissected by theoretical calculations. However, the models depend on many elementary atomic parameters and there are different understanding for the same ob ject between different models, it is necessary to calibrate these models by laboratory measurement. The electron beam ion trap which is an inexpensive compact device is an ideal facility for spectroscopicbenchmark due to its overlapping electron density and temperature with as-trophysical plasma in stellar corona, supernova remnants and so on. Therefore, the spectral measurement based on the electron beam ion trap greatly promotes the study of X-ray and extreme ultraviolet radiation. This article will focus on the following: current situation of spectra of satellite observations and theoretical calculation and the problems; the latest re-search progress of the important diagnostic line ratio(Fe XVII's 3C/3D) based on EBIT;recent advances in laboratory measurement of X-rays and extreme ultraviolet radiation based on electron beam ion trap.

Title: Conservation and Symplectic Properties of Hamiltonian Systems with Finite Elements
Introduction:
Hamiltonian systems are classical mechanical systems that describe the evolution of a physical system in a conservative manner. They are important in many areas of physics and engineering, including celestial mechanics, fluid dynamics, and quantum mechanics. In numerical simulation, Hamiltonian systems are typically solved using finite element methods due to the complexity of the systems being modeled. This project will explore the conservation and symplectic properties of Hamiltonian systems when solved using finite element methods.
4. A contribution to the field of numerical methods for Hamiltonian systems.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, this project will investigate the conservation and symplectic properties of Hamiltonian systems when solved using finite element methods. The development of numerical algorithms that preserve these properties will improve the accuracy and stability of numerical simulations of Hamiltonian systems. This project will contribute to the field of numerical methods for Hamiltonian systems and provide a better understanding of their behavior.

马同学泰勒公式
泰勒公式是描述流体力学中的应力分布的一个重要公式。

它由19世纪的英国物理学家泰勒提出,被广泛应用于流体力学领域的研究中。

泰勒公式可以用来描述在流体中的一个微小流动元素所受到的剪切应力。

剪切应力是指流体内部不同层之间因相对速度差异而产生的力。

在流体中,剪切应力的大小与速度梯度成正比,即速度梯度越大,剪切应力越大。

泰勒公式的数学表达形式如下:
τ = μ (∂u/∂y)
其中,τ表示剪切应力,μ表示流体的动力粘度,u表示流体的速度,y表示流体流动元素所处的位置。

通过泰勒公式,我们可以计算出流体在不同位置的剪切应力,从而了解流体在不同位置上的流动情况。

这对于研究流体的运动规律以及流体的力学性质具有重要意义。

泰勒公式的应用范围非常广泛。

在工程上,它可以用来研究液体在管道中的流动情况,优化管道的设计以提高流体输送效率。

在地球科学领域,它可以用来研究海洋和大气中的流动现象,预测天气变化和海洋环流。

在生物医学领域,它可以用来模拟血液在血管中的流动,研究心血管疾病的发生机制。

泰勒公式在流体力学领域的应用非常广泛,它为我们研究流体的运动规律以及流体的力学性质提供了一种有效的方法。

通过对流体剪切应力的计算,我们可以更加深入地了解流体的流动情况,为各个领域的应用提供有力的支持。

over a wide range of the 35d precession period.We confirm that the spin modulation of the neutron star is weak or absent in the low state -in marked contrast to the main or short-on states.The strong fluorescence emission line at ∼6.4keV is detected in all observations (apart from one taken in the middle of eclipse),with higher line energy,width and normalisation during the main-on state.In addition,we report the detection of a second line near 7keV in 10of the 15observations taken during the low-intensity states of the system.We discuss these observations in the context of previous observations,investigate the origin of the soft and hard X-rays and consider the emission site of the 6.4keV and 7keV emission lines.INTRODUCTIONHer X-1is one of the best studied X-ray binaries in the sky.The binary system consists of a neutron star and an A/F secondary star.It has an orbital period of 1.7d and the neutron star spin period is ∼1.24s.It is one of only a few systems which shows a regular variation in X-rays,over a “beat”period of 35d,which is generally interpreted as the precession of an accretion disk that periodically obscures the neutron star beam.The cycle comprises:i)a 10d duration main-on state,ii)a fainter 5d duration short-on state,and iii)a period of lower emission in between.Exceptions to the normal 35d cycle has been observed only in four occasions:in 1983,1993,1999and in January 2004the turn-on of the source has not been observed.During these "anomalous low states"(ALS;the period of which ranges from several months to 1.5years)Her X-1appears as a relatively faint X-ray source,with a strength comparable to that of the standard low state.The event registered last year was only the fourth one that has been seen since the discovery of Her X-1in 1972,and the first one that could be observed with a high capability satellite as XMM–Newton .Her X-1has been observed by XMM–Newton on 15separate occasions outside the ALS,giving good coverage over the beat period.Moreover,it has been observed 10φ35=0.17φ35=0.26Phase Shift (degrees)-1.0φ35=0.60180270090180-0.50.00.5C r o s s C o r r e l a t i o nφ35=0.02FIGURE 1.Cross correlation of the (0.3-0.7keV)and (2-10keV)light curves at four different Φ35.times during the ALS.The analysis of datasets taken before the ALS has been presentedby Ref.[1],[2]and [3].Here we report our main findings,referring the interested reader to the above papers for more details,and we present a preliminary analysis of the ALS.TIMING ANALYSISWe first focussed on datasets taken before the source entered the anomalous low state.We performed a search for pulsations in all datasets,confirming that,in marked contrast to the main or short-on states,the spin modulation of the neutron star is weak or absent in the low state.During the states of higher intensity,we observe a substructure in the broad soft X-ray modulation below ∼1keV ,revealing the presence of separate peaks which reflect the structure seen at higher energies (see Ref.[3]).The soft and hard X-ray lightcurves of Her X-1are known to be shifted in phase (see Fig.2,central panel).Under the assumption that soft X-rays are due to the reprocessing of the pulsar beam by the inner edge of the disk,this is usually interpreted as evidence for a tilt angle in the disk[4],[5].In our XMM–Newton data,we find the first evidence for a substantial and systematic change in the phase difference along the beat cycle,which is predicted by precessing disk models[6](see Fig.1).THE FE K αLINEThe strong emission line at ∼6.4keV is detected in all our XMM–Newton observations,with larger broadening and normalization during the main-on (see Fig.2,left panel).The line centroids observed using the EPIC PN deviate by 4σfrom the 6.40keV neutral value:the Fe line emission originates in near neutral Fe (Fe XIV or colder)in the low and short-on state observations,whereas in the main-on the observed Fe K αcentroid energies (6.65±0.1keV and 6.50±0.02keV at Φ35=0.02and 0.17)correspond to Fe XX-Fe XXI [7].Possible reasons for this behaviour may be:1)an array of Fe K αfluorescence lines exists for a variety of charge states of Fe (anything up to Fe XXIII);2)Comptonization from a hot corona for a narrower range of charge states centered around Fe XX;3)Keplerian motion.The Keplerian velocity measured at Φ35=0.02and 0.17is

the 2004ALS.and ∼13000km/s,respectively.This gives a radial distance of ∼2−3×108cm,which is close to the magnetospheric radius for a magnetic field of ∼1012G.However,another possibility is that the region responsible for the Fe K αline emission is different for lines observed at different beat phases.In fact,while data taken during the main-on clearly indicate a correlation between the fluorescent Fe K αline and the soft X-ray emission (Fig.2,central panel),suggesting a common origin in the illuminated hot spot at the inner edge of the disk,the same is not explicitly evident in data taken during the low state.Instead,at such phases the Fe K αline is a factor >5weaker and is clearly modulated with the orbital period (see again Fig.2,right panel).The correlation between the fast rising UVW1flux and the Fe K αdetected outside the main-on point to79.06897.05.06.08.0 FIGURE3.The spectral region around6.6keV fromΦ35=0.02(top)andΦ35=0.79(bottom).In both panel a solid line shows

arise from relatively cold material in a disk wind,such as commonly observed in cataclysmic variables[8].However,we do not detect the Fe Kαline during the middle of the eclipse,and the upper limit on the line flux is∼10or less of that measured outside the eclipse.Also,there is no Doppler signature of a wind in the HETG spectrum of the Fe Kαline[10].On the other hand, the data reported here suggest a complex origin for the overall emission of the Fe Kαline.To our knowledge,a complex of lines which include all ionization states from Fe XVIII to XXIV Fe Kαhas not been observed in any astrophysical source.This may still indicate an outflow of relatively cold gas or some complex dynamics in the disk/magnetosphere interface.Such phenomena should be time-dependent and may be monitored in the future using Astro-E2.THE∼7KEV FE LINEXMM–Newton data have revealed,for the veryfirst time for this source,the presence of a second Fe line at∼7keV.The feature is only detected during the low and short-on states,and over several beat phases(see Fig.3).Also,it has been confirmed by a Chandra HETGS observation of the source(the only one made during the low state) taken atΦ35=0.44−0.46[10].The feature cannot be produced byfluorescence,and it is more likely to be a Fe XXVI line originating in widely extended photo-ionized plasma.This is consistent with the fact that also RGS data taken during the low and short-on states show the presence of photo-ionized gas[2].Grating spectra exhibit several narrow recombination emission lines,the most prominent being C VI,N VI,N VII,O VII,O VIII and Ne IX.The line ratio G= (f+i)/r,as computed for all the helium-like ion complexes,is G≃4,which indicates that photoionization is the dominant mechanism.Moreover,RGS spectra shows two radiative recombination continua of O VII and N VII,consistent with a low temperature of the emitting plasma(30000K<T<60000K)[2].None of these features is detected during the main-on state.The recombination X-ray line emission are not likely to originate in HZ Her,due to the absence of UV induced photoexcitation signatures in the He-like triplets(observed with HETGS)[10].Instead,we propose that an extended,photoionized accretion disk atmosphere may be responsable for such features[2].The evidence for the disk identi-fication relies on the modeled structure and spectra from a photoionized disk,which is in agreement with the limit set spectroscopically on the density of the low-energy lines emitting region.This theoretical model has been developed by Ref.[9],who computed the spectra of the atmospheric layers of a Shakura-Sunyaev accretion disk,illuminated by a central X-ray continuum.They found that,under these conditions,the disk de-velops both an extended corona which is kept hot at the Compton temperature,and a more compact,colder,X-ray recombination-emitting atmospheric layer(see Figure9in Ref.[2]).Interestingly,wefind that the Fe XXVI line detected by XMM–Newton may be a signature of the hottest external layers of the disk corona,which are located above the recombination-emitting layers.Again,the computed values of the density agree with the constraints inferred from the7keV line parameters[3].In summary,most of the spectral lines discovered with EPIC and RGS can be associ-ated with the illuminated atmosphere/corona of the accretion disk,which explains why they are more prominent during the low states when the direct X-ray beam from the pul-sar is obscured by the accretion disk.Therefore,the variability of the Her X-1spectrum lends support to the precession of the accretion disk,strengthen the interpretation of the low state emission in term of an extended source and open the exciting possibility to monitor spectroscopically the different atmospheric components of the disk during the transition from the low to the high state.THE ANOMALOUS LOW STATEAnomalous low states are rare and peculiar events,during which the source resides in a deep low state.While the mechanism that forces state changes is almost certainly variations in accretion disk structure,the engine ultimately driving structural evolution remains unknown.Each past anomalous low state,including the most recent one of January2004[11],has been preceded by a period of enhanced spin-down,that has been interpreted in terms of an increasing torque leading to a reversal in the rotation of the inner disk.This also implies that the onset of an anomalous low state is accompanied by a large variation in the structure of the inner region of the accretion disk,that becomes increasingly warped.In order to search for residual evidence of a35d cycle,we compared the line emission detected during the ALS with that observed in the several XMM–Newton datasets we have accumulated during the standard35d cycle.As we can see from Fig.2,as far as the Fe complex is concerned,there is no an obvious difference in the spectral properties of the ALS and of the standard low states.The line features are consistent with being the same in these epoches and the orbital variation of the KαFe line shows the same correlation with the UVW1.This supports our scenario in which the Fe line emission of the low state originates in an extended component(disk atmosphere/corona and/orcompanion)instead that in the inner region of the disk.Moreover,it is consistent with the fact that at higher energies a significant Compton reflection component has been detected by RXTE in the spectrum of the ALS([12]).A detailed comparison of the recombination emission lines measured by RGS can shed more light on this issue.If our interpretation is correct,by measuring the line ratios during the anomalous low state allows to infer the ionization state of the plasma,column density and optical depth in the visible portion of the disk atmosphere/corona,ultimately constraining the accretion geometry.REFERENCES1.Ramsay,G.,et al.,MNRAS,337,1185,(2002).2.Jimenez-Garate,M.A.,et
