A magnetic reconnection model for quasi-periodic oscillations in black hole systems

The quasi-periodic oscillations （QPOs） in black hole （BH） systems with different scales are interpreted based on the magnetic reconnection of large-scale mag- netic fields generated by toroidal electric currents flowing in the inner region of the accretion disk, where the current density is assumed to be proportional to the mass density of the accreting plasma. The magnetic connection （MC） is taken into account in resolving dynamic equations describing the accretion disk, in which the MC be- tween the inner and outer disk regions, between the plunging region and the disk, and between the BH horizon and the disk are involved. It turns out that a single QPO frequency associated with several BH systems with different scales can be fitted by in- voking the magnetic reconnection due to the MC between the inner and outer regions of the disk, including the BH binaries XTE J1859＋226, XTE J1650-500 and GRS 1915＋105 and the massive BHs in NGC 5408 X-1 and RE J1034＋396. In addition, the X-ray spectra corresponding to the QPOs for these sources are fitted based on the typical disk-corona model.

Correlations of Active Galactic Nuclei with Microquasars

Correlations of active galactic nuclei （AGNs） with microquasars are discussed based on the coexistence of the Blandford-Znajek （BZ） and magnetic coupling （MC） processes （CEBZMC） in black hole （BH） accretion disk. The proportions of several quantities of BH systems for both AGNs and microquasars are derived by combining the observational data with CEBZMC. It is shown that the square of the magnetic field at the BH horizon is inversely proportional to the BH mass, while the accretion rate of the disk is proportional to the BH mass. In addition, the very steep emissivity indexes from the recent XMM-Newton observations of the nearby bright Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG-6-30-15 and the microquasars XTE J1650-500 are well fitted by considering the MC effects on the disk radiation. These results suggest strongly the correlations of A GNs with microquasars.

Temporal study of GRS 1915+105 with rms-flux relation:The importance of magnetic activities in the corona

The rms-flux relations for some observations of GRS 1915+105 are studied.The rms-flux relations of the light curves in only one state,state C or state A,can be described by the simple non-linear model provided Zhang;we thus interpret that such a linear relation reflects the relative importance of magnetic instability for X-ray emission in the corona of the system,compared to the thermal viscous instability for the X-ray emission in the accretion disk.The rms-flux relations for state B are very scattered,possibly because of the dominance of thermal viscous instability for the X-ray emission in the accretion disk.The complex rms-flux relations for the observations of transitions between two or three states are caused by the combination of the different rms-flux relations of these states.The underlying physical processes are the combination of magnetic topology in the corona and thermal viscous instability in the accretion disk.
