Abstract:
Abstract A Type I burst could influence the accretion process through radiation pressure and Comptonization both for the accretion disk and the corona/boundary layer of an X-ray binary, and vice versa. We investigate the temporal evolution of a bright photospheric radius expansion (PRE) burst of 4U 1608–52 detected by Insight-HXMT in 1–50 keV, with the aim to study the interplay between the burst and persistent emission. Apart from the emission from the neutron star (NS) surface, we find residuals in both the soft (<3 keV) and hard (>10 keV) X-ray bands. Time-resolved spectroscopy reveals that the excess can be attributed to either an enhanced preburst/persistent emission or the Comptonization of the burst emission by the corona/boundary layer. The Comptonization model is a convolution thermal-Comptonization model (thcomp in XSPEC), and the Comptonization parameters are fixed at the values derived from the persistent emission. We find, during the PRE phase, after the enhanced preburst/persistent emission or the Comptonization of the burst emission is removed, the NS surface emission shows a plateau and then a rise until the photosphere touches down on the NS surface, resulting in a flux peak at that moment. We speculate that the findings above correspond to the lower part of the NS surface that is obscured by the disk being exposed to the line of sight due to the evaporation of inner disk by the burst emission. The consistency between the f a model and convolution thermal-Comptonization model indicates the interplay between thermonuclear bursts and accretion environments. These phenomena do not usually show up in conventional blackbody model fittings, which may be due to the low count rate and narrow energy coverage in previous observations.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT We study the structure of the accretion flow in the hard state of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 with NICER data. The power spectra show broad-band variability which can be fit with four Lorentzian components peaking at different time-scales. Extracting power spectra as a function of energy enables the energy spectra of these different power spectral components to be reconstructed. We found significant spectral differences among Lorentzians, with the one corresponding to the shortest variability time-scales displaying the hardest spectrum. Both the variability spectra and the time-averaged spectrum are well-modelled by a disc blackbody and thermal Comptonization, but the presence of (at least) two Comptonization zones with different temperatures and optical depths is required. The disc blackbody component is highly variable, but only in the variability components peaking at the longest time-scales ($\lower.5ex\hbox{$\,\, \buildrel\gt \over \sim \,\,$}1$ s). The seed photons for the spectrally harder zone come predominantly from the softer Comptonization zone. Our results require the accretion flow in this source to be structured, and cannot be described by a single Comptonization region upscattering disc blackbody photons, and reflection from the disc.

Abstract:
We explain the overall continuous Grazar (Gamma Ray Blazar) spectrum from the synchrotron turnover to the EGRET GeV detections by means of Comptonization in the parsec scale jet's substructures.While making use of the constraints on the synchrotron spectrum and other measurable quantities, no exotic particle acceleration is needed to achieve the high energy output.We show, that the “Lighthouse Model” of blobs of relativistic electrons, travelling with the jet plasma at relativistic speeds, produce both, correct timescales and shapes for the lightcurve, and correct ratios and slopes of the synchrotron, X-ray and γ-ray branches.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates some aspects of the inverse Compton scattering process within various physical contexts in high energy astrophysics. Initially an introduction to the key results of Comptonization theory for the case of scattering in optically thick plasmas is given, using a diffusion approach, since these results are required for the interpreta- tion of Comptonized spectra. Since Comptonization in astrophysical systems is frequently treated using numerical techniques, an introduction to these is then presented. Such linear Monte Carlo photon transport codes are typically applied to scattering in plasmas without temperature and density gradients. Additionally, treating bulk motion can be difficult even for simple cases. It is demonstrated that these problems can be made tractable numerically with the use of algorithms associated with non-linear Monte Carlo codes. Such codes can already treat scattering within arbitrary velocity structures in a plasma, and an extension of the algo- rithm is proposed that enables the easy calculation of photon transport in plasmas with non-constant density as well as non-constant temperature and/or bulk motion. This algorithm and code has been developed to treat scattering in astrophysical situations where bulk motion, temperature gradients and density gradients are simultaneously present in a plasma. Both a semi-analytic approach and the numerical approach are then used to treat Comp- tonization problems of current interest. Firstly, the standard two-phase disk-corona model for the high-energy spectra of Active Galactic Nuclei is modified to include an an outflow or wind which may provide an additional source of disk cooling. Earlier slab disk-corona models predict a spectral index which is consistent with observations only if all the accretion power is dissipated in the corona. For the models investigated here, energy spectral indices that are consistent with observations can be obtained with less accretion power being dissipated in the corona, as a result of an outflow/wind. However, it is required that the wind extract large amounts of power from the disk, and it it yet to be seen if this is a plausible scenario.
