摘要
We investigate spectral variations dependent on short timescale variations in the Seyfert galaxy MCG -6-30-15 using data obtained with ASCA in 1994. Spectral hardening of the continuum spectrum during a large flare lasting for similar to 5 x 10(4) sec was observed. Such spectral hardening is commonly observed in stellar black hole candidates. This and other similarities in X-rays between these objects suggest their time variations have the same origin. We have also found that the narrow iron K alpha line is more prominent in the decay phase of the flare than in the rise phase. This implies time lags of the narrow iron-line component behind the continuum component, which indicate that the narrow iron K alpha line is present in the outer region (similar to 1000 r(s)) of the accretion disk.
