10 X-RAY LAGS IN BH ACCRETING SOURCES Cyg X-1 Nowak+ 99 ~f -0.7 GBHs do commonly show hard X-ray lags (e.g. due to propagation of mass accretion rate fluctuations, Kotov + 11) 1H Fabian +09 Zoghbi +11 First highly significant detection of a high freq soft X-ray lag in a NLSy1 ~f -0.7 uniform reflection
11 1) INTERPRETATION 1H Fabian +09 Zoghbi +11 input filter output ~f KeV KeV uniform reflection primary power law soft excess relativistically blurred reflection The soft X-ray lag maps inner disk reverberation time scales
12 1) INTERPRETATION 1H Fabian +09 Zoghbi +11 input filter output ~f KeV KeV uniform reflection primary power law soft excess corona BH Accretion disk alternatively the soft lag maps reverberation of distant reflectors close to the line of sight (Miller +11)
13 1) INTERPRETATION 1H Fabian +09 Zoghbi +11 ~f -0.7 input filter output KeV KeV uniform reflection primary power law soft excess Mrk 766 & MCG (Emmanoulopoulos +11) Mrk 1040 (Tripathi +11) Other detections followed: REJ (Zoghbi & Fabian +11) PG {(De Marco +11)
14 2) PROFILE CHANGE 1H Fabian +09 Zoghbi +11 input filter output KeV KeV primary power law soft excess PG (De Marco +11) ~ 10 ~ 10 in BH Mass ~ 1/10
15 HOW COMMON IS THIS? Type 1 (i.e. unobscured) AGN from XMM-Newton archive exposure 40 ks variable in hard X-ray band (using tabulated values of excess variance in CAIXAvar sample Ponti +11) tabulated BH mass estimates the sample includes 32 sources covering a range of ~3 orders of magnitude in BH mass cross-spectral analysis between soft excess-dominated and power law-dominated energy bands
16 SOFT LAGS DETECTIONS we detected soft X-ray lags in 15/32 sources, spanning ~3 orders of magnitude in amplitude (τ) and frequency EXAMPLES: lag -15 s -200 s NGC 4051 ~ 10 MBH lag -200 s MRK s ~ 3 MBH NGC3516 shift of the soft lag towards lower freq and larger amplitudes as the BH mass increases
17 SOFT LAGS vs BH MASS the soft x-ray lags scale with BH mass soft lag frequency soft lag absolute amplitude [±0.09] 0.58[±0.11] νlag M7 τ M7 correlation significance > 4σ
18 SOFT LAGS vs BH MASS very short distances involved rg/c light crossing time trends
19 CONCLUSIONS Soft X-ray lags are detected in a significant number of sources of the sample Soft X-ray lags scale with BH mass Soft X-ray lags map very short distances, of the order of few gravitational radii This is all consistent with expectations from disc reverberation THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION!
20 SUPPLEMENTARY
21 Note about biases in the correlation High BH Mass PG (De Marco +11) The limited length of the observations does not allow to observe the entire soft lag profile
22 EXAMPLES: NON-DETECTIONS >2σ detections 1-2σ detections <1σ detections (upper limits) correlation significance > 5σ
