Multiwavelength observations of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 in the rebrightening phase

We report the results of quasi-simultaneous multiwavelength (near-infrared, optical, UV, and X-ray) observations of the Galactic X-ray black hole binary MAXI J1820+070 performed in 2019 May 10-13, similar to 60d after the onset of the first rebrightening phase. It showed a much larger optical-to-X-ray luminosity ratio (similar to 8) than in the initial outburst epoch. The primary components of the spectral energy distribution (SED) can be best interpreted by a radiatively inefficient accretion flow (RIAF) spectrum showing a luminosity peak in the optical band. By comparison with theoretical calculations, we estimate the mass accretion rate to be (M)over dot/(8L(Edd)/c(2)) similar to 10(-3), where c is the light speed and L-Edd is the Eddington luminosity. In addition to the RIAF emission, a blue power-law component is detected in the optical-UV SED, which is most likely synchrotron radiation from the jet. The optical spectrum taken at the Seimei telescope shows a weak and narrow H alpha emission line, the emitting region of which is constrained to be greater than or similar to 2 x 10(4) times the gravitational radius. We suggest that the entire disk structure cannot be described by a single RIAF solution but cooler material responsible for the H alpha emission must exist at the outermost region.
