Infrared photometry of the dwarf nova V2051 Ophiuchi – II. The quiescent accretion disc and its spiral arms

Abstract: We report the analysis of time-series of infrared JHK s photometry of the dwarf nova V2051 Oph in quiescence with eclipse mapping techniques to investigate structures and the spectrum of its accretion disc. The light curves after removal of the ellipsoidal variations caused by the mass-donor star show a double-wave modulation signalling the presence of two asymmetric light sources in the accretion disc. Eclipse maps reveal two spiral arms on top of the disc emission, one at R 1 = 0.28 ± 0.02 R L1 and the other… Show more

“…Other LMXBs are known to exhibit quiescent flickering, but the magnitude of quiescent variability of GX 339-4 and significant changes in observed colors exceed that measured for other sources (Zurita et al 2003). A possible explanation for this behavior is the emission from the spiral arms, hotspots, and hot line flares triggered by the magnetic field reconnection in the vicinity of the disk, and the presence of edges and lines in the quiescent spectra (see, e.g., Zurita et al 2003;Cherepashchuk et al 2019;Baptista & Wojcikiewicz 2020).…”

“…The spiral shock is easily produced due to the disk instabilities or tidal perturbations in the non-axisymmetric flow, even in the inviscid flow, which has been confirmed by various simulation studies (Sawada et al 1986a,b;Savonije et al 1994;Rafikov 2002;Bisikalo et al 2004;Kurbatov et al 2014;Arzamasskiy & Rafikov 2018). Simultaneously, observations also confirm the presence of spiral structure and spiral shock in the accretion disk (Steeghs et al 1997;Neustroev & Borisov 1998;Pala et al 2019;Baptista & Wojcikiewicz 2020;Lee et al 2020).…”

“…The existence of spiral structures in accretion disks has long been a topic of interest in both observational and theoretical studies. Observations have provided many pieces of evidence for the existence of a spiral structure in accretion disks (Steeghs et al 1997;Neustroev & Borisov 1998;Pala et al 2019;Baptista & Wojcikiewicz 2020;Lee et al 2020), and there is a general consensus that the spiral shock wave induces a spiral structure in the accretion disk. However, the origin of the shock may correspond to many different mechanisms.…”
