摘要:

目的:低持久X射线爆发源SLX 1737-282被归类为超紧凑双星候选者。我们比较SLX 1737-282的数据与其他类似的对象,并试图推导出的物理过程中负责形成的中间长爆发的约束。方法:到目前为止,SLX 1737-282仅记录了3次中等长爆发,持续时间均在约15-30分钟之间。本文研究了用INTEGRAL观测到的SLX 1737-282两个中等长X射线爆发的性质。用INTEGRAL数据研究了3-100 keV能带内持续辐射的宽带谱。结果:测得持续发射< 1%爱丁顿光度。从爆发期间观测到的光球半径膨胀,我们推导出源距离为7.3千秒差距。从SLX 1737-282观测到的中间长爆发特性与7-8 x 10 E-9 g cm-2柱深处的氦点火和1 E41 erg的爆发能量释放一致。SLX 1737-282的中间长爆发之间约80天的明显重现时间表明,从氦供体恒星缓慢吸积的厚纯氦层的不稳定燃烧状态。

英文摘要:

Aims: The low persistent X-ray burster source SLX 1737-282 is classified as an ultra-compact binary candidate. We compare the data on SLX 1737-282 with the other similar objects and attempt to derive constraints on the physical processes responsible for the formation of intermediate long bursts. Methods: Up to now only three intermediate long bursts, all with duration between ~15-30 minutes, have been recorded for SLX 1737-282. The properties of two intermediate long X-ray bursts observed by INTEGRAL from SLX 1737-282 are investigated. The broadband spectrum of the persistent emission in the 3-100 keV energy band is studied with the INTEGRAL data. Results: The persistent emission is measured to be < 1% Eddington luminosity. From the photospheric radius expansion observed during the bursts we derive the source distance at 7.3 kpc. The observed intermediate long burst properties from SLX 1737-282 are consistent with helium ignition at the column depth of 7-8 x 10E-9 g cm-2 and a burst energy release of 1E41 erg. The apparent recurrence time of ~80 days between the intermediate long bursts from SLX 1737-282 suggests a regime of unstable burning of a thick, pure helium layer slowly accreted from a helium donor star.
