Investigating a Fluctuating-accretion Model for the Spectral-timing Properties of Accreting Black Hole Systems

Abstract

The fluctuating accretion model of Lyubarskii (1997) and its extension by Kotov et al. (2001), seeks to explain the spectral-timing properties of the X-ray variability of accreting black holes in terms of inward-propagating mass accretion fluctuations produced at a broad range of radii. The fluctuations modulate the X-ray emitting region as they move inwards and can produce temporal-frequency-dependent lags between energy bands, and energy-dependent power spectral densities (PSDs) as a result of the different emissivity profiles, which may be expected at different X-ray energies. Here we use a simple numerical implementation to investigate in detail the X-ray spectral-timing properties of the model and their relation to several physically interesting parameters, namely the emissivity profile in different energy bands, the geometrical thickness and viscosity parameter of the accretion flow, the strength of damping on the fluctuations and the temporal coherence (measured by the `quality-factor', Q) of the fluctuations introduced at each radius. We find that a geometrically thick flow with large viscosity parameter is favoured, and confirm that the predicted lags are quite robust to changes in the emissivity profile, and physical parameters of the accretion flow, which may help to explain the similarity of the lag spectra in the low/hard and high/soft states of Cyg X-1. We also demonstrate the model regime where the light curves in different energy bands are highly spectrally coherent. We compare model predictions directly to X-ray data from the Narrow Line Seyfert~1 galaxy NGC 4051 and the BHXRB Cyg X-1 in its high/soft state and show that this general scheme can reproduce simultaneously the time lags and energy-dependence of the PSD.
