DA 530的钱德拉视图:一个带有脉冲星风星云的亚高能超新星遗迹?

Chandra View of DA 530: A Sub-Energetic Supernova Remnant with a Pulsar Wind Nebula?

Bing Jiang, Yang Chen, Q. Daniel Wang

摘要:

基于Chandra ACIS观测,我们报告了在20“半径的圆内,在背景上方5.3 sigma的残余DA 530中心附近检测到扩展X射线特征。这一特征的特征是光子指数为gamma=1.6+-0.8的幂次定律,并且在空间上与非热射电源重合,很可能代表脉冲星风星云。我们进一步研究了残骸内部的弥散X射线辐射谱,在0.3-3.5 keV的能量范围内,扣除背景的计数率约为0.06计数s^-1。发射光谱可以用温度为~0.3- 0.6keV和Si过量度>~7太阳能的热等离子体来描述。这些光谱特征,再加上极低的X射线光度,表明该残骸来自一颗机械能极低(<10^50尔格)的超新星。中心填充的热X射线发射的残余物可能表明早期热化的SN喷出物的星周介质。我们的研究结果表明,残留物可能是一个核心塌陷SN的产品,祖质量为8-12 Msun。类似的遗迹在银河系中可能很常见,但很少被研究。

英文摘要:

Based on a Chandra ACIS observation, we report the detection of an extended X-ray feature close to the center of the remnant DA 530 with 5.3 sigma above the background within a circle of 20'' radius. This feature, characterized by a power-law with the photon index gamma=1.6+-0.8 and spatially coinciding with a nonthermal radiosource, most likely represents a pulsar wind nebula. We have further examined the spectrum of the diffuse X-ray emission from the remnant interior with a background-subtracted count rate of ~0.06 counts s^-1 in 0.3-3.5 keV. The spectrum of the emission can be described by a thermal plasma with a temperature of ~0.3-0.6 keV and a Si over-abundance of >~7 solar. These spectral characteristics, together with the extremely low X-ray luminosity, suggest that the remnant arises from a supernova with an anomalously low mechanical energy (<10^50 ergs). The centrally-filled thermal X-ray emission of the remnant may indicate an early thermalization of the SN ejecta by the circum-stellar medium. Our results suggest that the remnant is likely the product of a core-collapsed SN with a progenitor mass of 8-12 Msun. Similar remnants are probably common in the Galaxy, but have rarely been studied.
