Light bending scenario for accreting black holes in X-ray polarimetry 王 炎 南京大学天文系 2011 年 4 月 11 日 arXiv: M. Dovciak, F. Muleri, R. W. Goosmann, V. Karas, and G. Matt

April 13, a model of an X-ray illuminating source above an accretion disk of a rotating black hole Within the lamp-post scheme, compute the expected (observed) polarization properties explore the dependencies on model parameters, employing Monte Carlo radiation transfer computations of the X-ray reflection on the accretion disk and taking general relativity effects into account the role of the black hole spin, of the observer viewing angle, and of the primary X-ray source distance from the black hole Several examples of the resulting polarization degree for XRB and AGN energy range from several keV to ∼ 50 keV, iron-line complex and the Compton hump polarization degree to increase at the higher end of the studied energy band (Compton hump) higher polarization degree for large spin values of the black hole, small heights of the primary source, and low inclination angles of the observer 1.

Improvements to previous polarization computations The reflection emission is computed with a more so- phisticated multi-scattering Monte Carlo code for the radiation transfer in the accretion disk. refined the computation of light geodesics from the axis to the disk plane, and further to the observer April 13, 2011 Department of Astronomy, Nanjing University 4

Primary emission April 13, 2011 Department of Astronomy, Nanjing University 6 Left: The emission received by the observer from the primary source is diminished by the factor N_prim, because of the strong gravity of the central black hole. The dependence on the height of the illuminating corona, h, is shown, if the intensity of the primary power-law emission is E−1. Right: The primary component of the intensity. a=0 a=1

4. Reflected emission April 13, 2011 Department of Astronomy, Nanjing University 8 Intensity of the reflected radiation in the local frame co-moving with the accretion disk was computed by the Monte Carlo multi-scattering code NOAR (Dumont et al. 2000). The local intensity varies by more than one order of magnitude for different values of incident and emission angles. The shape of the Compton hump changes as well. Examples of spectra for three different pairs of values of the incident and emission cosines, μi and μe, are shown. Compton hump

5. Radiation from far source The overall observed polarization properties will be given by an interplay of the local polarization properties on the disk and relativistic change acting on photons on their way to the observer. One expects relativistic depolarization of the local polarization. This depolarization should be larger for a spinning black hole. In this inner part of disk where the relativistic rotation of the polarization angle is the most variable. April 13, 2011 Department of Astronomy, Nanjing University 9

6. Results April 13, 2011 Department of Astronomy, Nanjing University 11 Polarization of the reflected component. The polarization of the reflected component for three different inclination angles and two heights of the primary source, h = 3GM/c^2 (solid) and h = 15GM/c^2 (dashed). The grey lines depict the polarization degree if the unpolarized Fe K\alpha and K\beta lines are not considered. Polarization of the reflected component

Cont… If we consider the primary radiation as well, the decrease of the polarization degree in the iron line region is much less visible, because the primary flux at these energies is still large. On the other hand, at high energies, where the contribution from direct radiation is relatively lower and where the Compton scattering increases the contribution of the reflected radiation, the polarization degree increases. See next slide. The dependence of polarization degree and angle at infinity on the lamp-post height, observer inclination, and total intensity at infinity are shown in Figures 9– 12 of the paper. In all these figures both the reflected and primary emission are considered and the results are computed in several energy bands.

Observational perspectives The complex dependence of the polarization on the geometry of the system gives important insight in the emission process at work in accreting black holes. Many missions with the capability of measuring polarization are expected or are discussed for launch in the next few years and therefore it is important to investigate if the sensitivity is sufficient to perform polarimetry also of relatively faint sources like AGN. For this purpose, we developed a dedicated Monte Carlo software which is described in Sec. 7. April 13, 2011 Department of Astronomy, Nanjing University 14

Predictions for AGN case: MCG April 13, 2011 Department of Astronomy, Nanjing University 15 Correlation of the degree (left) and angle of polarization (right) with the flux for MCG Each point corresponds to a different height of the source, specified within the figure (in units of GM/c2). It is assumed that each state of the source is observed for 500 ks with the Medium Energy Polarimeter on-board NHXM in the 8–30 keV energy interval.

Predictions for Galactic black hole systems: XTE J April 13, 2011 Department of Astronomy, Nanjing University 16 The same as Figure 13 but for the Galactic black hole system XTE J It is assumed that each state of the source is observed for 50 ks with the MEP on-board NHXM in the 8–30 keV energy interval.
