Variability of disc:long timescale • L/LEddAT4maxConstant size scale – last stable orbit!! • TAIL!! What is this??
Spectral states • Disc dominated - look like a disc but small tail to high energies • Very high/intermediate states at least know something about a disc • Low/hard state look really different, not at all like a disc! very high disk dominated high/soft Gierlinski & Done 2003
Variability of disc: short timescale • Timescale to change mass accretion rate through disc • tvisc= a-1 (H/R)-2torb =5 a-1 (H/R)-2 (r/6) -3/2ms • ~ 500s at last stable orbit for 10M • No rapid variability of disc 0.5 1.0 2.0
Low/hard state variability • Low/Hard state variability down to few 10s of ms • tvisc= a-1 (H/R)-2tdyn = 5 a-1 (H/R)-2 (r/6) -3/2ms • IF viscous timescale then H/R~1 0.5 1.0 2.0
Accretion flows without discs • Low L/Ledd: another stable solution of accretion flow • Hot, optically thin, geometrically thick inner flow replacing the inner disc (Shapiro et al. 1976; Narayan & Yi 1995- ADAF) • No disc so seed photons for compton from thermal electrons spiraling round B field (cyclo-sync) Log nfv(n) Log n
Radiation processes to get high energy radiation ACCRETION FLOW Thermal Comptonisation (BHB+AGN) Cyclo-synchrotron from thermal electrons JETS!! Synchrotron from Nonthermal electrons Comptonisation from Non-thermal electrons
Compton scattering theory eout ein • Collision – redistribute energy • If photon energy bigger than electron then it loses energy – downscattering • If photon has less energy than electron then it gains energy – upscattering qie qoe g qio
Compton scattering theory eout ein • Easiest to talk about if scale energies to mc2 so electron energy gmc2 just denoted g while photon energy becomes e=hn/mc2=E/511 for E (keV) qie qoe g qio eout = ein(1 - bcos qei) 1- bcos qeo+ (ein/g) (1- cosqio)
How much energy ? • Compton scattering seed photons from accretion disk. Photon energy boosted by factor De/e ~ 4Q+16Q2if thermal in each scattering.
Process cross-section s. Sweep out volume s R Number of particles in that volume is n s R = t How many scatterings? s cm2
How much scattering ? • Determined by optical depth, t=snR • Scattering probability exp(-t) • Optically thin t << 1 prob ~ t average number ~ t • Optically thick t>>1 prob~1 • average number ~ t2 R
How much total energy exchange? • Total fractional energy gain = frac.gain in 1 scatt x no.scatt • y = (4Q+16Q2) (t+t2 ) ~ 4Qt2 for Q<1 t>1 • y>1 flat spectrum • y<1 steep spectrum R
Optically thin thermal compton • power law by multiple scattering of thermal electrons • Compton scattering conserves photon number • Number of photons dN/dEdE = E dN/dEdLog E = f (e) dlogE • For t<1 scatter t photons each time to energy eout=(1+4Q+16Q2)ein Log fn Log N(g) Log g Log n

Question • Find the spectral index from F(E) = A E-a • Hint: first scattering is at E1, F1, second peaks at E1 (1+4Q+16Q2) and F1 t Log fn Log N(g) Log g Log n
Answer • F1= A E1-a • F2 = A E2-a but F2=F1 t and E2=E1 (1+4Q+16Q2) so F1 t= A E1-a (1+4Q+16Q2) -a divide and get a=-log t/log (1+4Q+16Q2) Log fn Log N(g) Log g Log n

Spectral transitions in BHB Comptonised spectrum Tail is NONTHERMAL comptonisation !! Gierlinski et al 1999
And B fields • Generally there will be some B field • the thermal electrons can spiral around the B field lines - cyclotron radiation Q <<1 • cyclo-synchrotron if Q close to 1 or above • vB= eB/(2πmec) = 2.6x106 B Hz Chiang & Done 2009
And B fields • Steep spectrum with exponential cutoffν~ νBθ2 • So much lower than electron temperature itself! Log vfn Log n Chiang & Done 2009
And B fields • But strongly self absorbed – electrons in the vicinity of a B field will absorb radiation • These can be the seed photons for comptonisation Log vfn Log n Chiang & Done 2009
And B fields • Black hole binary – optical and x-rays join up, so probably cyclo-synchrotron in the optical as the seed photons for thermal comptonisation Chiang et al 2010 Log vfn
