16 5-1: Discussion on Mass Accretion Fluctuation When mass accretion rate( ∝ C ASM ) increases − Variation time scale shortens, low frequency power decreases Outer radius of the corona decreases − Reflection solid angle increases The disk intrudes into the corona more deeply − y decreases Increased seed photons degrade Comptonization efficiency 16 High Energy View of Accreting Objects: AGN and X-ray Binaries Corona Disk BH 12.10.10

20 6: Summary We analyzed 25 Suzaku observations of Cyg X-1. As mass accretion rate increases, reflection solid angle increases and y, break frequency and low frequency power decrease. Above can be explained by decreasing outer radius of the corona and deeper penetration of the accretion disk into the corona. Higher energy photons vary more rapidly and have delayed components, compared to softer ones. Energy dependence of time variability can be explained by taking into account falling time of accreting matter. 20 High Energy View of Accreting Objects: AGN and X-ray Binaries 12.10.10

21 Deeper Analysis of Asymmetry in CCF Parameterize hard lags by taking area ratios (B/A > 1) Hard lags become more significant in softer observations? 21 12.10.10 High Energy View of Accreting Objects: AGN and X-ray Binaries Appendix - 1 B/A - 1 A B t = 0 Lag in higher energy (s)
