The line profile also depends on the geometry of the hard X-ray emitting corona. To put constraints on the black hole spin and corona geometry, it is essential to understand how do they affect the iron Kα line emissivity profile. In this work, we present calculations of the illumination and the iron Kα emissivity profiles performed with the Monte-Carlo GR radiative transfer code Monk. We focus on distinction between the illumination and emissivity profiles, which is in most previous studies neglected. We show that especially for the case of black hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs), the difference is very large. For active galactic nuclei (AGNs), the emissivity profile has a more similar shape as the illumination profile, but it is notably steeper in the innermost region within a few gravitational radii. We find out that the different behavior between AGN and black hole X-ray binary discs is due to the different energy spectra of the illuminating radiation. This suggests that the emissivity profile of the iron Kα line cannot be determined by black hole spin and corona geometry alone and the energy spectrum of the illuminating radiation has to be taken into account. We also examined the effect of including the self-irradiation, and find it to be more important than the corona emission in BHXRBs.","PeriodicalId":506975,"journal":{"name":"Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society","volume":"135 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141656260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this paper is to provide a better scheme of identification for extragalactic SNRs and, in particular, to distinguish between H ii regions and SNRs. For that we have used diagrams which involve both the [S ii]/Hα ratio and the velocity dispersion (σ). We also introduce a new parameter, $xi = {[rm S, small {II}] over Halpha } times sigma$, which enhances still the contrast between SNRs and the rest of the ionised gas. More than 90% of the SNRs in our entire sample show an integrated [S ii]/Hα ratio larger than the canonical value (0.4). 86% of the SNRs present in our field show a significant velocity dispersion.

While extensively studied in planetary and exoplanetary atmospheres, in ultra-cool dwarfs, and as radio emission from early-type stars, the presence of specific auroral emission lines in hot star spectra remains unexplored. In this study, we utilized TLUSTY code to simulate the auroral lines, while modelling the effect of the interaction between stellar wind and magnetosphere through X-ray irradiation. Utilizing high-resolution synthetic spectra generated from model atmospheres, we identified potential candidate lines indicative of auroral emission, which were absent in non-irradiated spectra. Emission lines in synthetic spectra were present primarily in the infrared domain. The most prominent line generated by irradiation was He ii 69458 Å, which appeared in all our model atmospheres with effective temperatures ranging from 15 kK to 30 kK. We also calculated the minimum irradiation required to detect emission in this most prominent line. The presence of emission lines was interpreted by considering changes in the population of different excited states of given atoms. Besides the appearance of infrared emission lines, high-energy irradiation causes infrared excess. To complement our simulations, we also searched for auroral lines in Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) observations, which are deposited in the Multimission Archive at Space Telescope (MAST) catalogue. The comparison of observed spectra with synthetic spectra did not identify any possible candidate emission lines in FUSE spectra.","PeriodicalId":506975,"journal":{"name":"Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society","volume":"30 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140968352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By fitting the light curves and radial velocity data with the Wilson–Devinney code, we find that the binary is composed of two late spotted active M dwarfs below the fully convective boundary. This is supported by the discovery of a significant Balmer emission lines in the LAMOST spectrum and prominent coronal X-ray emission. In comparison with the typical luminosity of rapidly rotating fully convective stars, the much brighter X-ray luminosity (LX/Lbol = 0.0159 ± 0.0059) suggests the stellar magnetic activity of fully convective stars could be enhanced in such a close binary system. Given the metallicity of [M/H] = − 0.35 dex as inferred from the LAMOST spectrum, we measure the masses and radii of both stars to be M1 = 0.169 ± 0.010 M⊙, M2 = 0.162 ± 0.016 M⊙, R1 = 0.170 ± 0.006 R⊙, and R2 = 0.156 ± 0.006 R⊙, respectively. Based on the luminosity ratio from the light curve modeling, the effective temperatures of two components are also estimated. In comparison with the stellar evolution models, the radii and effective temperatures of two components are all below the isochrones. The radius deflation might be mainly biased by a small radial velocity (RV) data or (and) a simple correction on RVs, while the discrepancy in effective temperature might be due to the enhanced magnetic activity in this binary.","PeriodicalId":506975,"journal":{"name":"Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society","volume":"35 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140971567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
