摘要:

内容:INTEGRAL于2005年6月在观测Crux旋臂期间发现了瞬态硬X射线源IGR J11321-5311,这是迄今为止X/伽马射线飞行任务报告的唯一探测到该源的情况。目的:通过时间和光谱IBIS分析来表征行为,从而确定源的性质。方法:使用标准INTEGRAL软件OSA v.5.1进行详细的光谱和时间分析。结果:迄今为止,IGR J11321-5311仅检测到一次。它的活动时间约为3.5小时,在IBIS光变曲线中可以看到持续约1.5小时的短暂而明亮的耀斑。它的峰值通量约为80 mCrab或2.2x10E-9 erg cmE-2 sE-1(20- 300 keV),对应的峰值亮度为1.1x10E37 erg sE-1(假设距离为6.5 kpc)。在爆发期间,检测到的源具有18 sigma(20- 300 keV)和8 sigma(100- 300 keV)的重要性。总爆发活动(17- 300 keV)的谱最好用幂律(γ =0.55+/-0.18)加黑体(kT=1.0 + 0.2 - 0.3 keV)的和来拟合,没有证据表明在300 keV以下爆发。在科学窗口水平的光谱分析显示,通过爆发的光谱明显硬化。搜索IBIS数据,以查找脉动,但没有阳性结果。结论:X射线光谱形状和耀斑行为支持IGR J11321-5311是异常X射线脉冲星的假设,尽管在现阶段还不能坚决拒绝不同的性质。

英文摘要:

Context: The transient hard X-ray source IGR J11321-5311 was discovered by INTEGRAL on June 2005, during observations of the Crux spiral arm. To date, this is the only detection of the source to be reported by any X/gamma-ray mission. Aims: To characterize the behaviour and hence the nature of the source through temporal and spectral IBIS analysis. Methods: Detailed spectral and temporal analysis has been performed using standard INTEGRAL software OSA v.5.1. Results: To date, IGR J11321-5311 has been detected only once. It was active for about 3.5 hours, a short and bright flare lasting about 1.5 hours is evident in the IBIS light curve. It reached a peak flux of about 80 mCrab or 2.2x10E-9 erg cmE-2 sE-1 (20--300 keV),corresponding to a peak luminosity of 1.1x10E37 erg sE-1 (assuming a distance of 6.5 kpc). During the outburst, the source was detected with a significance of 18 sigma (20--300 keV) and 8 sigma (100--300 keV). The spectrum of the total outburst activity (17--300 keV) is best fitted by the sum of a power law (Gamma=0.55+/-0.18) plus a black body (kT=1.0{+0.2}_{-0.3} keV), with no evidence for a break up to 300 keV. A spectral analysis at Science Window level revealed an evident hardening of the spectrum through the outburst. The IBIS data were searched for pulsations with no positive result. Conclusions: The X-ray spectral shape and the flaring behaviour favour the hypothesis that IGR J11321-5311 is an Anomalous X-ray Pulsar, though a different nature can not be firmly rejected at the present stage.
