基于聚合经验模态分解方法的OJ 287 射电流量变化周期分析

BL Lac 天体OJ 287 是一个重要的Blazar天体, 光变具有准周期特点. 本文从密歇根大学射电天文台数据库收集了OJ 287射电波段4.8, 8.0和 14.5 GHz超过30年时间的观测数据. 由于天文观测资料的复杂性, 一些传统寻找周期的方法不是太理想. 近几年迅速发展起来的聚合经验模态分解(EEMD) 特别适合于具有非线性和非平稳动态变化特性的Blazar天体光变规律的研究. 运用EEMD方法对OJ 287 的3个射电波段流量分别进行多时间尺度分解, 各获得6个代表不同时间尺度局部特征信息的本征模态函数分量和一个趋势项. 研究结果表明: 4.8 GHz射电流量变化的主要周期是18.9, 11.9, 5.7 和2.4年; 8.0 GHz 的主要周期是12.2, 5.2和2.4 年; 14.5 GHz的主要周期是21.8, 12.0, 4.3和 2.4 年. 尽管3个波段流量变化主要周期大小有一定的差别, 但是存在着近似相同的变化周期12.0 和2.4年, 说明这3个波段可能来源于相同的辐射机制, 也证实了OJ 287 射电波段和光学波段具有相同的长光变周期12.0 年. 这些结论表明: EEMD 作为一种全新的非线性、非平稳信号处理方法, 可以更精确地提取Blazar天体中不同光变周期的分量. 关键词： OJ 287 光变周期 聚合经验模态分解     

振荡吸积盘的光变研究

理论研究指出随机振荡吸积盘可能引起活动天体的光变,然而观测数据分析表明光变中除了含有随机噪声外还存在混沌因素.将混沌因素引入到随机振荡吸积盘中,构成"混沌+随机"振荡吸积盘模型.通过分析扰动的相图,直观再现了混沌吸引子的状态.研究结果表明:在随机因素占主导时,光变混乱无序;随机因素与混沌因素相当时,光变上下起伏类似于心电图;混沌因素占主导时,光变具有一定有序性.模拟光变曲线的关联维与观测数据的关联维一致,表明模拟光变曲线与观测结果之间存在内在联系.

Mkn 501 X射线和TeV射线准周期震荡的可能机制

我们提出了对流占主导的吸积流（ADAF）盘的辐射线是Mkn 501中从X射线到Tevγ射线的源光子；而且此盘的不稳定性可以解释Mkn 501中在X射线和Tevγ射线光变曲线23天的准周期光变。在这个模型中,光学到X射线辐射进入喷流，后由于喷流内相对论电子的作用而转化成高能光子。在这个过程中，发生在ADAF盘中的不稳定性导致源光子的准周期变化，从而导致了X射线和γ射线的变化。

渐近安全引力下的黑洞阴影和光环

重点讨论了薄盘吸积与渐近安全(asymptotically safe,AS)引力修正参数对黑洞阴影和光环的影响.对于薄盘吸积,黑洞的暗区就是黑洞的阴影,而明亮的光环则是由直接像、透镜环和光子环组成的.对于吸积盘辐射源比强度,考虑了3个不同辐射轮廓模型.对辐射起始于最内圆轨道的二阶衰减函数模型,直接像、透镜环和光子环可以明显区分.直接像对黑洞光环亮度贡献最大,透镜环对光环亮度贡献很小,而光子环的贡献几乎可以忽略,且对应观测强度的峰值随AS引力参数的增加而减小,即对应光环亮度随修正参数的增大而变暗.对于辐射起始于光子球半径的三阶衰减函数模型,透镜环和光子环叠加在直接像上,使观测强度出现新的极值.这一极值随AS引力修正参数的增加而增加,且使得黑洞光环的亮度更亮.对辐射起始于事件视界的反三角衰减函数模型,透镜环和光子环在直接像上的叠加范围更大,观测到的光环更宽,且AS引力参数值越小,透镜环和光子环越难区分,黑洞光环的亮度越大.总之,研究表明,黑洞阴影半径的大小随AS修正参数的增加而减小,对于不同的AS引力修正参数,辐射源光强度、尤其是观测强度的辐射轮廓存在显著差异,导致黑洞的阴影和亮环明显不同...

The variability of BL Lac 3C 66A

It is now known that there are supermassive black holes at the centre of a galaxy, surrounded by an accretion disc. The black hole-jet-accretion disc model plays an important role in the explanation of the observational properties of active galactic nuclei. BL Lacertae objects form a subclass of blazars; they are monitored through electromagnetic wave bands. During the OJ-94 project, 3C 66A was observed as a comparison object of OJ287 and found to display a possible 65-day period in the V light curve. In this paper, we show that the instability of an accretion disc surrounding a massive central black hole (2.5×10^{7}M_⊙) may explain this period in 3C 66A.     

Spin and mass of the supermassive black hole in the Galactic Center

A new method for exact determination of the masses and spins of black holes from the observations of quasi-periodic oscillations is discussed. The detected signal from the hot clumps in the accretion plasma must contain modulations with two characteristic frequencies: the frequency of rotation of the black hole event horizon and the frequency of the latitudinal precession of the clump’s orbit. Application of the method of two characteristic frequencies for interpretation of the observed quasi-periodic oscillations from the supermassive black hole in the Galactic center in the X-rays and in the near IR region yields the most exact, for the present, values of the mass and the spin (Kerr parameter) of the Sgr A* black hole: M = (4.2 ± 0.2) × 10⁶ M _⊙ and a = 0.65 ± 0.05. The observed quasi-periodic oscillations with a period of about 11.5 min are identified as the black hole event horizon rotation period and those with a period of about 19 min are identified as the latitudinal oscillation period of the hot spot orbits in the accretion disk.     

OJ287: Post-Newtonian Calculation in Harmonic Coordinate and Pulsar Timing Residual Confirmation

We calculate and discuss the motion of the binary black hole OJ287 based on Post-Newtonian approximation in a harmonic coordinate. With gravitational waveform obtained, theoretical timing residual of PSR B1855+09 induced by gravitational radiation of OJ287 is presented and compared with observed data, further shows that hypothesis referring to OJ287 as a binary BH system might be proper. The energy flux of gravitational radiation from binary is also provided, from which we find that the flux changes sign successively: ?_N >0, ?_1PN <0, ?_2PN >0, in agreement with the relative signs of forces of each PN order, revealed in the previous work.     

Fate of an accretion disc around a black hole when both the viscosity and dark energy is in effect

This paper deals with the viscous accretion flow of a modified Chaplygin gas towards a black hole as the central gravitating object. A modified Chaplygin gas is a particular type of dark energy model which mimics of radiation era to phantom era depending on the different values of its parameters. We compare the dark energy accretion with the flow of adiabatic gas. An accretion disc flowing around a black hole is an example of a transonic flow. To construct the model, we consider three components of the Navier–Stokes equation, the equation of continuity and the modified Chaplygin gas equation of state. As a transonic flow passes through the sonic point, the velocity gradient being apparently singular there, it gives rise to two flow branches: one in-falling, the accretion and the other outgoing, the wind. We show that the wind curve is stronger and the wind speed reaches that of light at a finite distance from the black hole when dark energy is considered. Besides, if we increase the viscosity, the accretion disc is shortened in radius. These two processes acting together make the system deviate much from the adiabatic accretion case. It shows a weakening process for the accretion procedure by the work of the viscous system influencing both the angular momentum transport and the repulsive force of the modified Chaplygin gas.     

Phantom energy accretion onto a black hole in Horava-Lifshitz gravity

In this Letter,we examine the phantom energy accretion onto a Kehagias-Sfetsos black hole in Horava-Lifshitz gravity.To discuss the accretion process onto the black hole,the equations of phantom flow near the black hole have been derived.It is found that mass of the black hole decreases because of phantom accretion.We discuss the conditions for critical accretion.Graphically,it has been found that the critical accretion phenomena is possible for different values of parameters.The results for the Schwarzschild black hole can be recovered in the limiting case.     

Dark Energy Accretion onto Van der Waal's Black Hole

We consider the most general static spherically symmetric black hole metric. The accretion of the fluid flow around the Van der Waal's black hole is investigated and we calculate the fluid's four-velocity, the critical point and the speed of sound during the accretion process. We also analyze the nature of the universe's density and the mass of the black hole during accretion of the fluid flow. The density of the fluid flow is also taken into account. We observe that the mass is related to redshift. We compare the accreting power of the Van der Waal's black hole with Schwarzschild black hole for different accreting fluid.     

Spin and mass of the nearest supermassive black hole

Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) of the hot plasma spots or clumps orbiting an accreting black hole contain information on the black hole mass and spin. The promising observational signatures for the measurement of black hole mass and spin are the latitudinal oscillation frequency of the bright spots in the accretion flow and the frequency of black hole event horizon rotation. Both of these frequencies are independent of the accretion model and defined completely by the properties of the black hole gravitational field. Interpretation of the known QPO data by dint of a signal modulation from the hot spots in the accreting plasma reveals the Kerr metric rotation parameter, \(a=0.65\pm 0.05\) , and mass, \(M=(4.2\pm 0.2)10^6M_\odot \) , of the supermassive black hole in the Galactic center. At the same time, the observed 11.5 min QPO period is identified with a period of the black hole event horizon rotation, and, respectively, the 19 min period is identified with a latitudinal oscillation period of hot spots in the accretion flow. The described approach is applicable to black holes with a low accretion rate, when accreting plasma is transparent up to the event horizon region.
