摘要:

本文介绍了在钱德拉X射线天文台上用ACIS-I阵列对γ射线双星LSI+61303进行的50 ks观测。这是迄今为止对该源进行的最高分辨率的X射线观测。在LSI+61303以北5到12弧秒之间的距离处发现了一个扩展结构的可能证据,其显著性水平为3.2 sigma。扩展发射的不对称性排除了在尘埃散射晕的背景下的解释,这表明了内在的性质。另一方面,虽然所获得的源通量为F_{0.3-10 keV} =7.1^{+1.8}_{-1.4} x 10^{-12}尔格/cm ^2/s,氢柱密度为N_{H} =0.70+/-0.06 x 10^{22} cm^{-2},与以前的结果一致,光子指数γ =1.25+/-0.09是迄今为止发现的最难的.根据这些新结果,我们简要讨论了X射线发射背后的物理机制,发射体的位置,以及距离LSI+61303 ~0.1 pc的扩展发射的可能来源.

英文摘要:

We present a 50 ks observation of the gamma-ray binary LSI+61303 carried out with the ACIS-I array aboard the Chandra X-ray Observatory. This is the highest resolution X-ray observation of the source conducted so far. Possible evidence of an extended structure at a distance between 5 and 12 arcsec towards the North of LSI+61303 have been found at a significance level of 3.2 sigma. The asymmetry of the extended emission excludes an interpretation in the context of a dust-scattered halo, suggesting an intrinsic nature. On the other hand, while the obtained source flux, of F_{0.3-10 keV}=7.1^{+1.8}_{-1.4} x 10^{-12} ergs/cm^2/s, and hydrogen column density, N_{H}=0.70+/-0.06 x 10^{22} cm^{-2}, are compatible with previous results, the photon index Gamma=1.25+/-0.09 is the hardest ever found. In light of these new results, we briefly discuss the physics behind the X-ray emission, the location of the emitter, and the possible origin of the extended emission ~0.1 pc away from LSI+61303.
