3 Outline We can learn a lot about a phenomenon at wavelengths other discovery e.g. UV: 0 star winds; radio: jets and lobes from AGN; X-ray: hot gas in ClG Here: ULXs at radio, optical, IR Counterparts proper: see Fabien Grisé s talk Me: Action on and interaction with ISM due to photoionization and winds and jets

11 Pakull & Mirioni 2002 NGC1313-X2 a rapidly expanding nebula Ramsey et al 2006 E W l Size ~ 570 x 400 pc Vex ~ 100 km/s highly supersonic expansion!

12 What makes ULXBs shine? Photoionisation by the X-ray source (and companion) radiative shocks from highly supersonically expanding gas (a bit like SNRs) NB: in many ULX bubbles, there is indication for both: photoionization and shock-ionisation, ex. Holmberg IX, NGC 1313 X-2, N6946-MF16; c.f. Abolmasov et al. 2007, 8 Same problem in AGNs, Liners,

13 X-ray photoionization (XIN) No sharp Strömgren spheres because gas becomes optically thin for high hn photons; outer region of warm (10^4 K) nearly neutral atoms. With respect to stellar photoio: + strong low ionization lines [OI]l6300, [NI] l5200 [SII]; (but can be destroyed by O companion) With respect to stellar photoio: + very high ionization lines, HeII, [OIV] (IP = 54 ev=4ryd), [NeV] (IP = 97 ev) Te ~ 10,000 K; <~ 20,000 K for Z/Zsol < 0.2 (i.e. SMC) H, {HeIIl4686} count ionizing photons hn > 1Ryd, {>4Ryd} use Ferland s Photoionization code Cloudy -> Possibility to derive ionizing luminosity from recomb. lines

14 Calibrating XIN (around M33 X-7) Eclipsing (3.45 d MXRB, 16 Mo BH + 70 Mo O star Pietsch et al 2006, Orocz et al 2007 (48 GMOS spectra) * Sits in HII region B0208f with HeII l4686 emission d(he++) = 4.5 = 20 pc * He+ -> He++ photoionisation by the X-ray source Pierre Maggi, Xian Hou & MWP 2012, 2014

15 M33 X-7 cont -like Modelisation of photoionisation with Cloudy: degeneracy between models can be lifted (PowL, DiskBB, KerrBB excluded!) Brems, p-free-diskbb (T~r -p ) allowed M33 X-7: L(4686)/L(0.3-10) = 2E 35 / 1E 38 ~ LMC X-1: L(4686)/L(0.3-10) 2 E35/2 E38 ~ 0.001, Pakull&Angebault 1986

16 Holmberg II X-1 Ha HeII [OI] Pakull & Mirioni 2002; Mirioni 2003 thesis; CFHT broad-slit L 4686 = erg/s HST ACS; Kaaret et al 2004 L(4686)/L(0.3-10) ~ Using Cloudy, one derives an integrated X-ray luminosity Lx ~ erg/s No strong beaming here!!

17 [OIV] l25.9 emission in Holmberg II X-1 Spitzer observations: Berghea et al note: IP (O++) ~ IP(He+) ~ 54 ev Extensive Cloudy modeling: Lx = 1.2E40 erg/s

18 Interesting: an XRB in an IS cloud (n >10 cm-3) creates 1 HeII l4686 photon per 1 X-ray photon L 4686 /hn 4868 ~ Lx (0.5-10keV) /2 kev ( poor man s X-ray telescope)

19 Ionization by shocks

20 A few elements of shock physics (A) Adiabatic, non-radiative shock ( no B field) n 1 = 4 n 0 ; v 1 = 3/4 v s ; T 1 ~ 10 5 K v (I) Isothermal, fully radiative shock (no B field) n 2 = M 2 n 0 ; v 2 = v s ; T 2 =T 0 Dopita & Sutherland 95 v s = 400 km/s precursor Cooling & recombination [0I] 6300 high- and low-ionization lines different Te e.g., Te[OIII] ~ kk Te[OI] ~ 8 kk broad emission lines Dv ~ v s

21 Shock diagnostics /b 100 [OIII]l5007/Hb Hb.3 1 [OI]l6300/Hb [OIII]l5007/Hb ratio as function of shock vel. v s (Dopita et al 1984) uncomlete radiative shock (see Raymond et al 1988) log distance from shock

22 radiative shocks For fully radiative shocks dissipated energy (shock luminosity per surface element [erg/cm2/s]) is l = ½ r v s3, spherical shock L = l4p R 2 = 2p r R 2 v s 3 and a certain fraction is radiated as H recombination radiation, i.e., lb (~0.003 x l) lb = 7.4x10-6 v s 2.4 n 0 erg/cm 2 /s Dopita et al 96, Allen et al precursor emission (photoionized by X-ray/EUV emission from shock) observable spectrum depends on v s ; age (completeness)

23 Radiative shock Structure and Energetics of ULX Bubbles Wind/jet driven bubble with power L w and radiative outer shock (Weaver et al 1977) l self similar solution for hydrodynamics; p = (g-1) e Rs = (125/154p) 1/5 (L w /r) 1/5 t 3/5 ; v s = 3/5 R s /t; g = 5/3 = (125/224p) 1/5 ; = 4/3 L rad = 27/77 L w = 0.35 L w for g = 5/3 = 27/112 L w = 0.24 L w = 4/3 Lw ~ 500* Lb for v s ~ km/s

24 Energetics of ULX Bubbles Bubble radii R ~200 pc (i.e. >> SNR) Expansion velocity vs ~ km/s IS densities n ~ cm -3 Age : t ~ 10 6 yrs; Power Lw ~ erg/s ~ Lx (ULX) Total energy: E o ~ erg/s (several 100 SNe!!) With Mdot x t = m Msol; m limited to a few; ( Lw = 1/2 x Mdot x v w 2 ) v w = 0.19 c (L 39 t 6 m 1 ) 0.5 (mildly) relativistic

25 Estimate: ~ 25 % ULX blow observable bubbles If ULX photon emission strongly beamed, than there should be many ULXB with ULXs that are beamed away from us Expect many more ULXB from apparently faint, or presently inactive, or misaligned ULXs Search for compact X-ray sources among large SNRs candidates
