摘要
We report X-ray, optical, and near-infrared monitoring of the new X-ray transient MAXI J1820+070 discovered with MAXI on 2018 March 11. Its X-ray intensity reached similar to 2 crab at 2-20 keV at the end of March, and then gradually decreased until the middle of June. In this period, the X-ray spectrum was described by Comptonization of the disk emission, with a photon index of similar to 1.5 and an electron temperature of similar to 50 keV, which is consistent with a black hole X-ray binary in the low/hard state. The electron temperature was slightly decreased, and the photon index increased, with increasing flux. The source showed significant X-ray flux variation on a timescale of seconds. This short-term variation was found to be associated with changes in the spectral shape, and the photon index became slightly harder at higher fluxes. This suggests that the variation was produced by a change in the properties of the hot electron cloud responsible for the strong Comptonization. Modeling a multi-wavelength spectral energy distribution around the X-ray flux peak at the end of March, covering the near-infrared to X-ray bands, we found that the optical and near-infrared fluxes were likely contributed substantially by the jet emission. Before this outburst, the source was never detected in the X-ray band with MAXI (with a 3 sigma upper limit of similar to 0.2 mcrab at 4-10 keV, obtained from seven years of data from 2009 to 2016), whereas weak optical and infrared activity was found at flux levels similar to 3 orders of magnitude lower than the peak fluxes in the outburst.
