Detailed study of SNR G306.3–0.9 using XMM-Newton and Chandra observations
2016
Aims. We aim to study the spatial distribution of the physical and chemical properties of the X-ray emitting plasma of the supernova remnant (SNR) G306.3-0.9 in detail to obtain constraints on its ionization stage, the progenitor supernova explosion, and the age of the remnant. Methods. We used combined data from XMM-Newton and Chandra observatories to study the X-ray morphology of G306.3-0.9 in detail. A spatially resolved spectral analysis was used to obtain physical and geometrical parameters of different regions of the remnant. Spitzer infrared observations, available in the archive, were also used to constrain the progenitor supernova and study the environment in which the remnant evol…
Shock oscillation model for quasi-periodic oscillations in stellar mass and supermassive black holes
2007
We numerically examine centrifugally supported shock waves in 2D rotating accretion flows around a stellar-mass (10M_sun) and a supermassive (10^6M_sun) black holes over a wide range of input accretion rates of 10^7 >\dot M/\dot M_E>10^{-4}. The resultant 2D-shocks are unstable with time and the luminosities show quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) with modulations of a factor of 2-3 andwith periods of a tenth seconds to several hours, depending on the black hole masses. The shock oscillation model may explain the intermediate frequency QPOs with 1-10 Hz observed in the stellar-mass black hole candidates and also suggest the existence of QPOs with the period of hours in AGNs. When the accret…
