  1. Black Hole Masses and accretion rates Thomas Boller Max-Planck Institut für extraterrestrische Physik, Garching

  2. Present knowledge on black hole masses and accretion rates The effect of mass accretion rate on X-ray properties Analysis of individual NLS1 spectra Supercritical accretion in 1H0707-495 Accretion-rates and Black hole masses in extreme accretion modes Spectral complexity dependence on the accretion rate Metallicity dependence on the accretion rate

  3. High accretion rate: soft state Low accretion rate: hard state Black body type soft excess and significantly steeper power-law (G~2.2-2.5) Canonical power-law with G=1.7 Rapid flux variation Black holes in X-ray binaries relative flux Energy [keV] Energy [keV] Broad-line Seyfert 1 Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Canonicalpower-law with G=1.7 Super- Massive Black Holes relative flux Energy [keV] Energy [keV] The effect of mass accretion rate on X-ray properties Accretion-rate dependent differences may exist in AGN as well

  4. IRAS 13224-3809 1H 0707-495 pn MOS 7.1,7.5 keV 8.2 keV Counts s-1 keV-1 0.2 1 2 3 5 10 Energy [keV] 0.2 1 2 3 5 10 Energy [keV] Analysis of individual NLS1 spectra Drop energy is time-dependent (7.1 keV in 2000, 7.5 in 2002), remains sharp even for 8.2 keV drop in 13224, no Kb UTA absorption, therefore high outflow v of neutral Fe of 0.05 and 0.15 c are required Both show a common characteristic shape - strong soft X-ray excess - steep power-law with G = 2.4~2.5 These features are typical for partial covering phenomenon, or reflection dominated X-ray spectra The hard tail gradually flattens towards high energies and abruptly drops at around 7-8 keV

  5. Solutions for high accretion rates based on additional cooling due to horizontal advection of heat; adding a new branch to the Shakura-Sunyaev disc in the S - dM/dt plane Abramowicz 1988: All NLS1s from ASCA observations fall into the (dM/dt) / (LE/c2) = (10 – 20) slim disc region Mineshige 2000: Makishima 2000: Watarai 2001: Lmin and Tbb give Mmin ~2.106 Msun dM/dt ~ (10-20) (LE/c2) ~6.1024 g s-1 Supercritical accretion in 1H0707-495 Slim disc model applies to such high accretion rates and high disc temperatures

  6. FWHM of emission lines increases Ionizing continuum decreases Huge soft X-ray excess in NLS1s Moderate soft X-ray excess In BLS1s [OIII] Hb [OIII] Flux Hb Fe II Fe II relative flux l[A] l[A] Energy [keV] Energy [keV] Expected parameter changes due to black hole mass growth assumptions: NLS1 evolution starts in the slim disc regime (L ~ Ledd) dM/dt remains constant for some time and then gradually decreases Soft and hard power-law indices decreases Fe II multiplet emission decreases when ionizing continuum decreases

  7. Simple picture for the optical line widths evolution of Seyfert 1s Assumptions: all galaxies go through an AGN phase the case for 1H0707 (a NLS1s starting with a small mass of ~2 . 106 Msun) accretion rate: 6 . 1024 g . s-1 (10-3 earth mass per second) = 0.1 Msun/ yr 10000 km s-1 NLS1 BLS1 phase exp. growth 90Million years Comparison with SDSS EDR Williams et al. 135 NLS1 out of 944 BLS1 assuming ~108 yr AGN phase mean NLS1s phase ~15 Millions years FWHM Hb [km s-1] 4600 km s-1 60Million years 2000 km s-1 linear growth 25 Million years 8 Growth time [yr] when high accretion rate ceased, 1H0707 become normal Seyfert 1s within a few 10´s million yr NLS1 are the most rapidly growing black holes

  11. NLS1s BLS1s BLS1s LINERs Accretion-rates dependence on Black hole masses NLS1s • LINER • caveates: • - separate • nuclear • emission • following • Hagai´s comment: • if SLOAN people • are right, • LINERs • shift up LINERs

  12. Spectral Complexity in dependence on the accretion rate Power-law fit to IRAS 13224-3809 strong residua Null hypothesis value <0.1 in 2-10 keV band 0.0 in 0.3 10 keV band e.g. low Null hypothesis values indicative for spectral complexity as soft excess, lines…

  13. Spectral complexity correlates with accretion rate fit in the 2-10 keV range LINERS often as a simple power-law NLS1s more complex - soft excess - spectral curvature - sharp spectral drops

  14. Metallicity dependence on the accretion rate 13224 with super-Eddington accretion Clear trend of FeII/Hb with accretion rate for NLS1 and high-z QSO Boller et al. 2003 Netzer et al. 2004 Fe overabundance 3-10 required in all NLS1s with sharp spectral drop, even for reflection dominated model optical Fe II emission increases with accretion rate

  15. Summary X-ray observations on the disc temperature and the luminosity allow to measure black hole masses and accretion rate, independent from optical line width relations The NLS1s are accreting at luminosities close or above the Eddington luminosity Lmin/ Ledd ~ 1-2 The black body temperature is high: 90-120 eV and exceeds the limit from standard geometrically thin accretion discs The objects have relatively low black hole masses of ~106 Msun and are rapidly growing in mass with ~ dM/dt ~ (1-20) (LE/c2) When the high accretion rates are ceased NLS1s become normal Seyfert 1s within a few 10´s Million years NLS1s are the most rapdily growing black holes in the universe LINERS accrete at extreme low Eddington luminosity ratios
