1 Scientific cases for Simbol-X of interest of the Italian community Based on the High Energy Astrophysics study: Fields of interest and perspective for the national community ASI Fabrizio Fiore
2 Two main themes Accreting Black holes Non-thermal emission, particle acceleration mechanisms
3 Accreting Black Holes L/L E B H B ULX? M82 IMBH? NLSy1 AGN 10-2 LLAGN M/M? 1. A hidden parameter -- the BH spin 2. Possible violation of the mass scaling; ionization, m e c 2
4 Black Hole spectral states Done & Gierlinski 2003
5 Hard Colour Intrinsic colours Co-add objects onto same plot all RXTE database archive obs Cyg X1, LMC X3, X1, GX339, J1655, J1550, J1859, J1650 Done & Gierlinski 2003 Spectral evolution with L/L Edd hard spectra well defined track, soft spectra show variety of spectra at L/L Edd Γ (3-6.4) Steady jet Transient jet 4.5 No jet Γ (6.4-16)
6 Origin of hard X-rays Dissipate energy in optically thick disk cool, no hard X-rays MUST dissipate in optically thin material so that E >> kt (Compton) Optically thin accretion flow low L/L Edd only! Magnetic reconnection above disk no known alternatives at high L/L Edd! Collapse of optically thin flow gives hard/soft transition? Esin et al 1997 Hard/soft transition associated with disk moving inwards. Adapted from C. Done
7 L h /L s LS 1 Hard (low L/L Edd ) Soft (high L/L Edd ) VHS HS US Adapted from C. Done
8 High Energy view of the Galactic Center
9 Stellar Black Hole goals Study the low/hard state, Comptonization models Extend color analysis at high E Test ADAF models Search for stellar BH in the Galactic Center and in nearby galaxies Census of Stellar BH
10 Scale accretion flow to AGN Same accretion flow onto higher mass black hole (?) All that should change is disk temperature need M and L/L Edd Magorrian-Gebhardt relationships linking M to properties of host galaxy so now possible! But AGN have more complex environment. Harder to disentangle intrinsic spectrum, so need very good S/N spectra Adapted from C. Done
11 Bright AGNs: the BeppoSAX legacy F(15-150)= cgs 100ks S/N keV 65
12 AGN spectral studies SX baseline SX improved
13 Hard X-ray Surveys Most direct probe of the super-massive black hole (SMBH) accretion activity, recorded in the CXB spectral energy density SMBH census Strong constraints to models for the formation and evolution of structure in the Universe AGN number and luminosity evolution AGN clustering and its evolution
14 Imaging surveys up to 8-10 kev (ASCA,BSAX, Chandra, XMM): most of the CXB <6-7 kev is resolved in sources. But only 40-50% in the 5-10 kev band. < 1 % E>10keV. The light-up and evolution of obscured, accreting SMBH is still largely unknown Worsley et a. 2004
15 The sources making the kev CXB are the same we see below 10 kev? What did we learn below 10 kev? What do we expect to learn above 10 kev?
16 The sources making the kev CXB are the same we saw below 10 kev? Residual CXB after subtracting the resolved fraction below 10 kev Comastri 2004 We need to resolve: 80% of (similar to Chandra and XMM deep fields below 10 kev) 50% of 20-40keV
17 The sources making the kev CXB are the same we see below 10 kev? What did we learn below 10 kev? What do we expect to learn above 10 kev?
18 2-10 kev AGN luminosity function models Solid = observed dashed = best fit LDDE with constant N H distribution La Franca et al. 2005
19 2-10 kev AGN luminosity function models 2-10keV 0.5-2keV LDDE with variable absorbed AGN fraction La Franca et al. 2005
20 A working scenario small mass progenitors. Feedback is effective in self-regulating accretion and SF, cold gas is left available Galactic cold gas available for accretion and obscuration increases at high z large mass progenitors. Feedback is less effective, most gas is quickly converted in stars at high z.
21 The sources making the kev CXB are the same we see below 10 kev? What did we learn below 10 kev? What do we expect to learn above 10 kev?
22 1) Paucity of z>1, logl X <44 sources? Real or are we missing highly obscured AGNs? 2) Compare the obscuration properties of Seyfert 2 galaxies and QSO2 Sensitive observations at the peak of the CXB (~20-40 kev) to probe highly obscured AGN in the golden edge of nuclear and galaxy activity
23 1) Paucity of Seyfert like z>1 is real? Or, is it, at least partly, a selection effect? Are we missing in Chandra and XMM surveys highly obscured (N H cm -2 ) AGN? Which are common in the local Universe
24 How deep should we go? And how hard? Residual CXB after subtracting the resolved fraction below 10 kev Comastri 2004 We need to resolve: 80% of (similar to Chandra and XMM deep fields below 10 kev) 50% of 20-40keV
25 CXB fraction >50% res.cxb >80% res.cxb F(20-40keV)< cgs or 0.75 mcrab cgs or 0.1 mcrab F(10-30keV)< cgs or 0.65 mcrab cgs or 0.13 mcrab
26 Direct Imaging at E=10-80 kev 1mCrab = 250 sources deg 2 = 12 sources X 15 diam. FOV 0.5 mcrab = 550 deg 2 = 27 sources X 15 diam. FOV 0.1mCrab = 2350 deg 2 = 120 sources X 15 diam. FOV
27 The sources making the kev CXB are the same we see below 10 kev? What did we learn below 10 kev? What do we expect to learn above 10 kev? What do we expect to learn with Simbol-X?
