摘要:

我们用绿岸望远镜测量了反常X射线脉冲星XTE J1810-197的HI吸收。假设一个平坦的旋转曲线,我们发现XTE J1810-197位于3.4(+0.5,-0.7)kpc的距离。对于包含银河棒模型的旋转曲线,我们得到的距离为4.0(+0.3,-0.8)kpc。使用包含银河棒和银河旋臂模型的旋转曲线,距离为3.7(+/-0.6)kpc。这些值与XTE J1810-197的距离一致,从其色散测量得出的距离约为3.3 kpc,并从其X射线光谱拟合获得的估计值为2-5 kpc。总的来说,我们确定XTE J1810-197位于3.5(+/-0.5)kpc的距离,可能在红外暗云G10.74-0.13前面不远处。我们还使用GBT尝试测量OH 1612、1665、1667和1720 MHz谱线对XTE J1810-197的吸收。我们没有成功,主要是因为它的无线电通量密度下降。对XTE J1810-197的HI 2 - 1 cm、OH和CO(2-1)发射的分析使我们能够将非电离氢柱密度的下限$N_{\rm H} \ga 4.6 \times 10^{21}$ cm $^{-2}$置于\magnetar,这与从其X射线光谱拟合获得的估计一致。

英文摘要:

We have used the Green Bank Telescope to measure HI absorption against the anomalous X-ray pulsar XTE J1810-197. Assuming a flat rotation curve, we find that XTE J1810-197 is located at a distance of 3.4(+0.5,-0.7) kpc. For a rotation curve that incorporates a model of the Galactic bar, we obtain a distance of 4.0(+0.3,-0.8) kpc. Using a rotation curve that incorporates a model of the Galactic bar and the spiral arms of the Galaxy, the distance is 3.7(+/-0.6) kpc. These values are consistent with the distance to XTE J1810-197 of about 3.3 kpc derived from its dispersion measure, and estimates of 2-5 kpc obtained from fits to its X-ray spectra. Overall, we determine that XTE J1810-197 is located at a distance of 3.5(+/-0.5) kpc, possibly not far in front of the infrared dark cloud G10.74-0.13. We also used the GBT in an attempt to measure absorption in the OH 1612, 1665, 1667, and 1720 MHz lines against XTE J1810-197. We were unsuccessful in this, mainly because of its declining radio flux density. Analysis of HI 21 cm, OH, and CO(2-1) emission toward XTE J1810-197 allows us to place a lower limit of $N_{\rm H} \ga 4.6 \times 10^{21}$ cm$^{-2}$ on the non-ionized hydrogen column density to \magnetar, consistent with estimates obtained from fits to its X-ray spectra.
