用SWIFT/BAT发现4U 0614+09的自旋频率

Discovery of the Spin Frequency of 4U 0614+09 with SWIFT/BAT

Tod Strohmayer, Craig Markwardt, Erik Kuulkers

摘要:

利用SWIFT星载的爆发预警望远镜(BAT)观测到了低质量X射线双星(LMXB)4U 0614+091在热核X射线爆发过程中414.7 Hz的爆发振荡。在BAT档案的搜索中,我们发现了两个与4U 0614+091位置一致的突发触发器。我们搜索了两个爆发的高频定时签名,并发现了一个显着的检测在414.7赫兹在5秒的时间间隔在冷却尾部的较亮的爆发。这个结果确定了4U 0614+091中中子星的自旋频率为415 Hz。振荡的平均振幅(rms)为14%,这些结果与其他LMXB中观察到的爆发振荡的已知结果一致。双kHz QPO之间的频率差与该源中的自旋频率的推断比率与0.5或1强烈不一致,并且倾向于支持Yin等人最近的建议,和Mendez & Belloni,KHz QPO频率差可能与中子星的自旋频率没有很强的联系。

英文摘要:

We report the discovery of burst oscillations at 414.7 Hz during a thermonuclear X-ray burst from the low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) 4U 0614+091 with the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) onboard SWIFT. In a search of the BAT archive, we found two burst triggers consistent with the position of 4U 0614+091. We searched both bursts for high frequency timing signatures, and found a significant detection at 414.7 Hz during a 5 s interval in the cooling tail of the brighter burst. This result establishes the spin frequency of the neutron star in 4U 0614+091 as 415 Hz. The oscillation had an average amplitude (rms) of 14%, These results are consistent with those known for burst oscillations seen in other LMXBs. The inferred ratio of the frequency difference between the twin kHz QPOs, and the spin frequency in this source is strongly inconsistent with either 0.5 or 1, and tends to support the recent suggestions by Yin et al., and Mendez & Belloni, that the kHz QPO frequency difference may not have a strong connection to the neutron star spin frequency.
