天⽂瞬變源的 X 光波段研究

Transients in the X-ray Universe

指導教授 : 江國興

摘要


天文瞬變源即呈現快速增亮現象的天體。儘管對亮度變化及持續時間沒有標準的定義,基線振幅通常被設置為靜態水平的數倍,而持續時間也可由短於數秒到長於數週或甚至更長。這些現象對發現光度較暗的物體,就像是吸積率低的白矮星,靜態黑洞和遙遠的非活動星系核,尤其重要。 在本論文,我們將報告四個天文瞬變源MAXI J1058-744,SN 2013df,SN 1986L,和PSR J1023 + 0038的X射線研究。我們主要利用雨燕衛星上的X射線望遠鏡的觀測資料去完成這研究工作。

Astronomical transients are all kinds of celestial objects that show rapid brightening in any forms of electromagnetic wave. Although there are no standard criterion on flux variation or outburst duration to define a transient, the baseline amplitude is often set to at least an order of magnitude brighter than the quiescent flux level on timescales of seconds, weeks, or even longer, making these phenomena extremely important to discover and investigate faint objects, like slowly-accreting white dwarfs, quiescent X-ray binaries and distant inactive galactic nuclei, of which most are hard to be detected outside the active phase. In particular, transients with luminosities higher than the super-Eddington limits of 10-100 M_sun are good candidates of intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs), of which the mysterious mechanism of formation is still under debate. In addition to the ancient compact objects, core collapse supernovae, the deadly transients of massive stars, are another valuable transient class, which is important for the studies of the stellar evolution and how the compact objects form from the ordinary stars. In this thesis, we present X-ray studies of four transient sources MAXI J1058-744, SN 2013df, SN 1986L, and PSR J1023+0038, mainly using the public archive of the X-ray Telescope (XRT) on board the Swift satellite. This work provides better understandings to various classes of transient, which is useful for the X-ray transient identifications in the future.
