  1. XIV Advanced School on AstrophysicsTopic III: Observations of the Accretion Disks of Black Holes and Neutron StarsIII.2 X-ray States of Black Hole Binaries (II) Ron Remillard Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research Massachusetts Institute of Technology http://xte.mit.edu/~rr/XIVschool_III.2.ppt

  2. III.2 X-ray States of Black Hole Binaries (II) • Hard State (and Quiescence) • Hard State Definition • Advection and Jet Models for the Hard State • Impulsive Jets at State Transitions • Alternative Views of Black Hole X-ray States • Steep Power Law State • Summary of Properties • Concepts to Explain the Steep Power Law Spectrum • Quasi-Periodic Oscillations (QPOs) • Overviews of Black Hole States • Statistics of State Occupation and Parameter Distributions • Overviews Diagrams for States and High-Frequency QPOs

  3. Hard State of Black Hole Binaries Hard State: disk fractionfdisk < 20%; power-law photon index, 1.4 < G < 2.1; power (0.1-10 Hz) rms > 0.10 steady jet  

  4. Modeling the Hard State • ADAF model: • (Advection-Dominated Accretion Flow) • (Narayan lecture today!) • transition: Keplerian to quasi-radial inflow at ~100-500 Rg • lower radiative efficiency • (energy advected into BH) • electrons radiate synchrotron and inverse Compton • predicts convection and outflow XTE J1118+480 (low NH)….truncated, cool disk (McClintock et al. 2001)

  5. Modeling the Hard State • ADAF model: • Other evidence of truncated disks: • Apparent cool, large, disks in hard states of other sources (e.g. cygx1) • …. in some instability cycles of GRS1915+105 (Belloni et al. 1997) • …. and in optical continuum cutoff of quiescent state of A0620-00 • Controversy: Real or appearances?? • Profile of broad Fe line (Miller et al. 2004)  “only appearances” • (in limited observations)

  6. Hard State Correlates with Radio Emission • why a Jet? • (Fender 2006) • flat radio index • (like AGN) • polarized • jet images in Cyg X-1 (weak constraint) and in • GRS 1915+105 (highly collimated to AU scales;Dhawan et al. 2000) Corbel et al. 2000

  7. Radio Flux vs. X-ray Flux (Hard State to Quiescence) Gallo, Fender, & Pooley 2003; elevated to “Fundamental Plane of Black Hole Activity” (with AGN and mass corrections; Merloni, Heinz, & DiMatteo 2005)

  8. Modeling the Hard State • Jet-based models • Synchrotron • (Markoff et al. 2001) • Synchrotron/Compton • (Markoff, Nowak, & Wilms 2005) • Kalemci et al. 2005 • ADAF/JET Hybrid • (Yuan, Cui, & Narayan 2005) XTEJ1118+480 synchrotron model (Markoff et al. 2001) Compton model (Frontera et al. 2001)

  9. Modeling the Hard State • Key Questions: • relativistic jet? • Need better measurements of collimation, energy, and outflow speed in hard state. • alternative techniques to measure Rin • Probe inner disk radius (e.g., Fe line, power continuum, e.g. Uttley et al. 2008) • explain power density spectrumbroad power peak near 1 Hz in hard state

  10. Temporal Signature of the Hard State GX339-4: average PDS across SPL:hard transition Broad feature near 1 Hz: signature of a steady jet

  11. Relativistic Impulsive Jets from BHBs Radio Interferometry: GRS1915+105 • Impulsive Jets • Ejecta v/c > 0.9 for several sources; jet content unknown • Seem to occur at state transitions • Correlated to giant X-ray flares (hours) near start of outbursts • X-ray jet seen year later at ISM contact, for 2 sources • Smaller impulsive jets seen with correlated X-ray flares during instability cycles in GRS1915+105

  12. “Unified Model for Jets in Black Hole Binaries” Fender, Belloni, & Gallo 2004 X-ray intensity Hard Color Remillard 2005

  13. States of Black Hole Binaries steep power law state: photon index G > 2.4 ; rms < 0.15 ;disk frac. fdisk < 80% + QPOs or fdisk< 50% + no QPOs Energy spectraPower density spectra 1 10 100 .01 .1 1 10 100 Energy (keV) Frequency (Hz) Neutron stars(atoll type) have soft (thermal) and hard states, but they never show SPL-dominated spectra

  14. States of Black Hole Binaries • Origin of steep power law? • Radiation mechanism? : inverse Compton (widely assumed) • Energy source?: disk • Source of e- acceleration?: (rough concepts) • Plunging region (R < RISCO) (e.g., Titarchuk & Shrader 2002) • Effects of a fully magnetized disk (e.g., Tagger & Pellat 1999) • Mechanism for QPOs?: • “centrifugal barrier oscillations” (Chakrabarti et al. 2000) • magnetic spiral waves (Rodriguez et al. 2002)

  15. Steep Power Law State • Heritage: • “Very High State” (only 2 sources: Miyamoto et al. 1991; 1993) • Gamma Bright State (Grove et al. 1998) blackbody energetics SPL |

  16. Comparing SPL vs. Thermal States • Why do we need 2 soft states for BH systems? Accretion disk theory (thermal state) does not naturally provide: • Coronae of 30 keV to 1 MeV • Means to convert up to 90% of the energy into this corona • Frequent and variable QPOs at 0.1-30 Hz • Conclusions: • Do not combine thermal and SPL  “soft” • 3 X-ray States  3 Accretion Systems

  17. High Frequency QPOs (40-450 Hz)

  18. Preferred HFQPO Frequencies HFQPO stability Variable n ? peaks constant to few % outliers shift to 15% n correlation 3:2 ratio X-ray state Steep Power Law Luminosity span factors ~ 3-6 ------ Miller at al. 2001 Remillard et al. 2002; 2006 Homan et al. 2005; 2006

  19. GR Coordinate Frequencies nr, q, f = f ( Mx, a*, r) (r in units of GMx/c2) nf = c3/GMx [ 2pr3/2 (1+ a*r-3/2) ]-1 nr = |nf| (1 - 6r-1 + 8a*r-3/2 - 3a*2r-2)1/2 nq = |nf| (1 - 4a*r-3/2 + 3a*2r-2)1/2 see Merloni et al. 1999 Investigated for neutron star QPOs by Stella et al. 1999

  20. HFQPOs and General Relativity HFQPO frequency (n) and GR dynamical frequencies: Page & Thorne 1974 Merloni et al. 1999 Greene et al. 2001 Strohmayer 2001 Remillard et al. 2002 Shafee et al. 2006 • Easy to measure (sn / n ~ few percent ; nimmune to (d, Av , i )) • Long reach: X-rays penetrate ISM better than optical

  21. High Frequency QPOs source HFQPO n (Hz) GRO J1655-40 300, 450 XTE J1550-564 184, 276 GRS 1915+105 41, 67, 113, 168 XTE J1859+226 190 4U1630-472 184 + broad features (Klein-Wolt et al. 2003) XTE J1650-500 250 H1743-322 166, 242 -------

  22. High Frequency QPOs source HFQPO n (Hz) GRO J1655-40 300, 450 XTE J1550-564 184, 276 GRS 1915+105 41, 67, 113, 168 XTE J1859+226 190 4U1630-472 184 XTE J1650-500 250 H1743-322 165, 241 ------- 4 HFQPO pairs with frequencies in 3:2 ratio

  23. HFQPO Frequencies vs. BH Mass GROJ1655, XTEJ1550, and GRS1915+105 nqpo at 2no: no = 931 Hz / Mx • Same QPO mechanism and similar value of a* • Compare subclasses while model efforts continue

  24. HFQPOs Mechanisms • Diskoseismology (Wagoner 1999 ; Kato 2001)  obs. frequencies require nonlinear modes? • Resonance in Inner Disk (Abramowicz & Kluzniak 2001). • Parametric Resonance (coupling in GR frequencies for {r, q}Abramowicz et al. 2004 ; Kluzniak et al. 2004; Lee et al. 2005) • Resonance with Global Disk Warp (S. Kato 2004) • MHD Simulations and HFQPOs (Y. Kato 2005)…. Disputed? • Torus Models (Rezzolla et al. 2003; Blaes, Arras, & Fragile 2006) • AEI + Rossby vortex (Tagger & Varniere 2006)

  25. HFQPO Conclusions • HFQPOs are a compelling theme for GR-study of BHBs • QPO n ~ dynamical frequencies of disk for R < 10 Rg • Stable n (1st order) for each BH, despite large changes in Lx • 3:2 ratio for HFQPO pairs in 4 BHBs common mechanism? • Roughly n ~ 1/M for 3 cases with measured pairs plus BH mass • Primary HFQPO Spectral Properties are unexplained • tied to steep power law, when detected • No detections in BHB thermal state • 3rd harmonic is shifted to higher energy and lower Lx • HFQPOs are subtle (rms 0.5 to 6%); need a new mission with effective area >> RXTE
