摘要:

我们提出了第一个X射线观测与最近发现的激变变量1RXSJ173021.5-055933的XMM-牛顿和INTEGRAL卫星,连同同时紫外和协调光学光度学,旨在表征其宽带的时间和光谱特性,并将该系统归类为一个磁性的。我们发现,X射线光变曲线是由吸积白矮星的128秒的自旋周期,而远紫外范围,这原来是在3西格玛水平上的调制占主导地位。而近紫外和光脉冲则以两倍的自旋频率被检测到。我们确定的贡献,从两个吸积极,这意味着一个适度倾斜的偶极场允许,一个极占主导地位的能量至少高达10千电子伏,而不是一个次要的是可以忽略不计的5 keV以上。X射线光谱分析揭示了多个发射组件的存在,包括光学薄等离子体的温度范围从0.17keV到60 keV和热黑体在~ 90 eV。光谱还受到由两个高密度(~ 3x 10 ^(21)cm^(-2)和~ 2x 10 ^(23)cm^(-2))中间柱和一个热吸收体组成的特殊吸收成分的强烈影响。最后一个是从0.74keV的OVII吸收边检测到的,这表明在这个系统中也发生了冲击前物质的光电离。观测到的性质表明,1RXSJ173021.5-055933中的吸积体是一个可能具有弱磁场的白矮星,从而证实了这个激变变星是一个具有最极端自旋轨道周期比的中间极星(IP)。该系统还加入了显示软X射线再处理成分的IP小组,表明该特征在这些系统中并不罕见。

英文摘要:

We present the first X-ray observations with the XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL satellites of the recently discovered cataclysmic variable 1RXSJ173021.5-055933, together with simultaneous UV and coordinated optical photometry aiming at characterising its broad-band temporal and spectral properties and classifying this system as a magnetic one. We find that the X-ray light curve is dominated by the 128s spin period of the accreting white dwarf in contrast to the far-UV range, which turns out to be unmodulated at a 3sigma level. Near-UV and optical pulses are instead detected at twice the spin frequency. We identify the contributions from two accreting poles that imply a moderately inclined dipole field allowing, one pole to dominate at energies at least up to 10keV, and a secondary that instead is negligible above 5keV. X-ray spectral analysis reveals the presence of multiple emission components consisting of optically thin plasma with temperatures ranging from 0.17keV to 60keV and a hot blackbody at ~90eV. The spectrum is also strongly affected by peculiar absorption components consisting of two high-density (~3x10^(21)cm^(-2) and ~2x10^(23)cm^(-2)) intervening columns, plus a warm absorber. The last is detected from an OVII absorption edge at 0.74keV, which suggests that photoionization of pre-shock material is also occurring in this system. The observed properties indicate that the accretor in 1RXSJ173021.5-055933 is a white dwarf with a likely weak magnetic field, thus confirming this cataclysmic variable as an intermediate polar (IP) with one of the most extreme spin-to-orbit period ratios. This system also joins the small group of IPs showing a soft X-ray reprocessed component, suggesting that this characteristics is not uncommon in these systems.
