| 英文摘要 | Characterizing the long-term variability of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is a key legacy of the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). We carry out a spectral analysis on a sample of 20 Seyfert 1 galaxies, which had been observed by the RXTE for at least 100 times. All 18 335 spectra are fitted in a uniform way using a power-law component plus an additional Gaussian line when necessary. For any source in our sample, we confirm that the spectrum softens or the photon index, Gamma, increases with increasing the 2-10 keV luminosity, LX. However, different source holds distinct Gamma-L-X/L-Edd relation, rather than a common one. We also fit the correlation with a function of Gamma = C+ beta xlog (flux), where C is a constant and parameter beta is the slope of the correlation. In this way, the increase speed of the Gamma-L-X/L-Edd relation can be depicted with the parameter beta. Since our sample contains a large sample of long-term monitored sources, it allows us to explore the second-order effect of spectral evolution. We find that there is an anticorrelation between beta and the X-ray Eddington ratio, L-X/L-Edd. That is, the increasing tendency of Gamma with increasing X-ray luminosity becomes slower when the source has a larger X-ray Eddington ratio. Our results may indicate changes in the geometry and/or the viscosity parameter of the accretion disc at different Eddington ratios. |
