摘要:

本文对食毫秒脉冲双星系统PSR B1957+20的二级星的光变曲线进行了新的分析。结合以前的数据和新的数据点,至少从哈勃太空望远镜,我们有100%的覆盖率在R波段。我们也有一些新的K_s波段的数据点,我们用它来约束系统的红外星等。我们使用光变曲线代码(ELC)对此进行建模。从ELC代码的建模中,我们获得了关于BVRI和K中最小光照下次级的颜色信息。对于我们的最佳拟合模型,我们能够将系统倾角限制为65 +/- 2度,脉冲星质量范围为1.3 - 1.9 M_sun。脉冲星的质量是不受约束的。我们还发现第二颗恒星并没有填满它的洛希瓣。的温度的未照射的一面的同伴是在协议与以前的估计,我们发现,观测到的温度梯度在整个二级恒星是物理上可持续的。

英文摘要:

We present a new analysis of the light curve for the secondary star in the eclipsing binary millisecond pulsar system PSR B1957+20. Combining previous data and new data points at minimum from the Hubble Space Telescope, we have 100% coverage in the R-band. We also have a number of new K_s-band data points, which we use to constrain the infrared magnitude of the system. We model this with the Eclipsing Light Curve code (ELC). From the modelling with the ELC code we obtain colour information about the secondary at minimum light in BVRI and K. For our best fit model we are able to constrain the system inclination to 65 +/- 2 degrees for pulsar masses ranging from 1.3 -- 1.9 M_sun. The pulsar mass is unconstrained. We also find that the secondary star is not filling its Roche lobe. The temperature of the un-irradiated side of the companion is in agreement with previous estimates and we find that the observed temperature gradient across the secondary star is physically sustainable.
