摘要:

我们提出的档案观测LMC X-2与XMM/牛顿进行分析的结果。由高精度仪器拍摄的光谱以前从未被分析过。我们发现一个X射线的位置与ROSAT得到的不一致的源,但在协议与爱因斯坦的位置和光学对应。源的相关光谱和定时行为表明,该源可能是在其X射线色图的正常分支。该源的光谱可以用温度为1.5 keV的黑体加上0.8 keV的圆盘黑体来拟合。中性物质的光电吸收具有4 x 10^{20} cm^{-2}的等效氢柱。一个发射线,我们确定为O VIII莱曼α线,被检测到,而没有功能,由于铁在光谱中检测到。我们认为,这个源的发射可以直接解释为从NS和光盘之间的边界层和来自光盘本身的黑体组件的发射的总和。用于拟合Z源的其他规范模型不能对数据给出令人满意的拟合。探测到O VIII发射线(以及在铁区域没有探测到发射线)可能是由于源位于大麦云云。

英文摘要:

We present the results of the analysis of an archival observation of LMC X-2 performed with XMM/Newton. The spectra taken by high-precision instruments have never been analyzed before. We find an X-ray position for the source that is inconsistent with the one obtained by ROSAT, but in agreement with the Einstein position and that of the optical counterpart. The correlated spectral and timing behaviour of the source suggests that the source is probably in the normal branch of its X-ray color-color diagram. The spectrum of the source can be fitted with a blackbody with a temperature 1.5 keV plus a disk blackbody at 0.8 keV. Photoelectric absorption from neutral matter has an equivalent hydrogen column of 4 x 10^{20} cm^{-2}. An emission line, which we identify as the O VIII Lyman alpha line, is detected, while no feature due to iron is detected in the spectrum. We argue that the emission of this source can be straightforwardly interpreted as a sum of the emission from a boundary layer between the NS and the disc and a blackbody component coming from the disc itself. Other canonical models that are used to fit Z-sources do not give a satisfactory fit to the data. The detection of the O VIII emission line (and the lack of detection of lines in the iron region) can be due to the fact that the source lies in the Large Magellanic Cloud.
