General Relativity effects and line emission
نویسنده
چکیده
General Relativity effects (gravitational redshift, light bending, ...) strongly modify the characteristics of the lines emitted close to the Black Hole in Active Galactic Nuclei and Galactic Black Hole systems. These effects are reviewed and illustrated, with particular emphasis on line emission from the accretion disc. Methods, based on the iron line, to measure the two astrophysically relevant parameters of a Black Hole, the mass and spin, are briefly discussed.

The Shapes of Atomic Lines from the Surfaces of Weakly Magnetic Rotating Neutron Stars and Their Implications
Motivated by the report by Cottam et al. (2002) of iron resonance scattering lines in the spectra of thermonuclear bursts from EXO 0748−676, we have investigated the information about neutron star structure and the geometry of the emission region that can be obtained by analyzing the profiles of atomic lines formed at the surface of the star. We have calculated the detailed profiles of such lin...
متن کاملBulk Viscous Bianchi Type VI0 Cosmological Model in the Self-creation Theory of Gravitation and in the General Theory of Relativity
In the second self-creation theory of gravitation and in the general theory of relativity, Bianchi type VI0 cosmological model in the presence of viscous fluid is studied. An exact solution of the field equations is given by considering the cosmological model yields a constant decelerations parameter q=constant and the coefficients of the metric are taken as A(t)=[c1t+c<su...
متن کاملMagnetic fields in AGNs and microquasars
Observations of AGNs and microquasars by ASCA, RXTE, Chandra and XMMNewton indicate the existence of wide X-ray emission lines of heavy ionized elements in their spectra. The emission can arise in the inner parts of accretion discs where the effects of General Relativity (GR) must be counted, moreover such effects can dominate. We describe a procedure to estimate an upper limit of the magnetic ...
متن کاملEinstein structures on four-dimensional nutral Lie groups
When Einstein was thinking about the theory of general relativity based on the elimination of especial relativity constraints (especially the geometric relationship of space and time), he understood the first limitation of especial relativity is ignoring changes over time. Because in especial relativity, only the curvature of the space was considered. Therefore, tensor calculations should be to...
متن کامل3D collapse of rotating stellar iron cores in general relativity including deleptonization and a nuclear equation of state.
We present 2D and 3D simulations of the collapse of rotating stellar iron cores in general relativity employing a nuclear equation of state and an approximate treatment of deleptonization. We compare fully general relativistic and conformally flat evolutions and find that the latter treatment is sufficiently accurate for the core-collapse supernova problem. We focus on gravitational wave (GW) e...
