摘要:

本文报道了X射线暗孤立中子星(XDINS)1 RXS J214303.7+065419(也称为RBS 1774)的X射线、光学、红外和射电观测结果。X射线观测是用钱德拉X射线天文台上的高分辨率照相机进行的,这使我们能够推导出该源的最精确位置(α = 21 h43 m3.38 s,δ =+6 deg 54 '17”.53; 90%的不确定度为0。“6)。此外,我们以更高的空间精度证实了这种X射线源的点状性质。光学和红外线观测是使用凯克、VLT、布兰科和麦哲伦望远镜在B、V、r '、i'、J、H和Ks滤波器中进行的,而射电观测则是使用ATNF帕克斯单碟望远镜在2.9GHz和708 MHz进行的。RBS 1774的光学和/或红外对应物在改进的亚秒钱德拉X射线误差圆内没有检测到。光学和红外星等的当前上限是r '> 25.7和J>22.6(5西格玛置信水平)。射电观测并没有显示出射电脉动的证据,其亮度在1.4 GHz处低于L < 0.02 mJy kpc ^2,这是迄今为止任何XDINS的最深极限,也低于大多数射电天文学家的预期。因此,我们可以得出结论,如果RBS 1774是活跃的射电脉冲星,它的未检测到更可能是由于几何偏差,而不是光度偏差。此外,没有令人信服的证据RRAT类radio burst已经found. Our结果RBS 1774进行了讨论,并与其他热发射中子星和射电脉冲星人口的已知属性进行比较。

英文摘要:

We report on X-ray, optical, infrared and radio observations of the X-ray dim isolated neutron star (XDINS) 1RXS J214303.7+065419 (also known as RBS 1774). The X-ray observation was performed with the High Resolution Camera on board of the Chandra X-ray Observatory, allowing us to derive the most accurate position for this source (alpha = 21h43m3.38s, delta= +6deg54'17".53; 90% uncertainty of 0."6). Furthermore, we confirmed with a higher spatial accuracy the point-like nature of this X-ray source. Optical and infrared observations were taken in B, V, r', i', J, H and Ks filters using the Keck, VLT, Blanco and Magellan telescopes, while radio observations were obtained from the ATNF Parkes single dish at 2.9GHz and 708MHz. No plausible optical and/or infrared counterpart for RBS 1774 was detected within the refined sub-arsecond Chandra X-ray error circle. Present upper limits to the optical and infrared magnitudes are r'>25.7 and J>22.6 (5 sigma confidence level). Radio observations did not show evidence for radio pulsations down to a luminosity at 1.4 GHz of L < 0.02 mJy kpc^2, the deepest limit up to date for any XDINS, and lower than what expected for the majority of radio pulsars. We can hence conclude that, if RBS 1774 is active as radio pulsar, its non detection is more probably due to a geometrical bias rather than to a luminosity bias. Furthermore, no convincing evidence for RRAT-like radio bursts have been found. Our results on RBS 1774 are discussed and compared with the known properties of other thermally emitting neutron stars and of the radio pulsar population.
