摘要:

我们提出了银河系非热射电源G328.4+0.2获得的新的观测结果,以确定该源是脉冲星风星云还是超新星遗迹,以及在任何一种情况下,该源的物理特性。使用XMM获得的X射线数据,我们确认该源的X射线发射被大量吸收,并且具有由光子指数=2的幂律模型最佳拟合的光谱,没有热分量的证据,G328.4+0.2的X射线发射来自显著小于射电发射的区域,并且X射线和射电发射彼此显著偏移。我们还提出了一个新的高分辨率(7角秒)1.4 GHz的图像G328.4+0.2使用澳大利亚望远镜紧凑阵列获得的结果,并使用帕克斯射电望远镜的无线电脉动的深入搜索。我们发现,射电辐射有一个平坦的频谱,虽然沿着G328.4+0.2的东部边缘的一些地区有一个陡峭的射电频谱指数~-0.3。此外,我们还得到了中心脉冲星的光度极限为L_{1400} < 30 mJy kpc ^2,假设距离为17 kpc。根据这些观测结果,我们测试,如果G328.4+0.2是一个脉冲星风星云(PWN)或一个大的PWN内的超新星遗迹(SNR)使用一个简单的流体动力学模型的PWN内的SNR的演变。根据分析结果,我们认为G328.4+0.2是一个年轻的(< 10000年)由低磁场形成的脉冲星风星云(<10^12 G)出生的中子星快速旋转(<10 ms),膨胀成一个未被检测到的SNR,由一个高能中子星形成。(>10^51尔格),低喷出物质量(M < 5太阳质量)超新星爆发,发生在低密度(n~0.03 cm^{-3})环境中。

英文摘要:

We present new observational results obtained for the Galactic non-thermal radio source G328.4+0.2 to determine both if this source is a pulsar wind nebula or supernova remnant, and in either case, the physical properties of this source. Using X-ray data obtained by XMM, we confirm that the X-ray emission from this source is heavily absorbed and has a spectrum best fit by a power law model of photon index=2 with no evidence for a thermal component, the X-ray emission from G328.4+0.2 comes from a region significantly smaller than the radio emission, and that the X-ray and radio emission are significantly offset from each other. We also present the results of a new high resolution (7 arcseconds) 1.4 GHz image of G328.4+0.2 obtained using the Australia Telescope Compact Array, and a deep search for radio pulsations using the Parkes Radio Telescope. We find that the radio emission has a flat spectrum, though some areas along the eastern edge of G328.4+0.2 have a steeper radio spectral index of ~-0.3. Additionally, we obtain a luminosity limit of the central pulsar of L_{1400} < 30 mJy kpc^2, assuming a distance of 17 kpc. In light of these observational results, we test if G328.4+0.2 is a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) or a large PWN inside a supernova remnant (SNR) using a simple hydrodynamic model for the evolution of a PWN inside a SNR. As a result of this analysis, we conclude that G328.4+0.2 is a young (< 10000 years old) pulsar wind nebula formed by a low magnetic field (<10^12 G) neutron star born spinning rapidly (<10 ms) expanding into an undetected SNR formed by an energetic (>10^51 ergs), low ejecta mass (M < 5 Solar Masses) supernova explosion which occurred in a low density (n~0.03 cm^{-3}) environment.
