摘要:

本文报道了用\xmm对两颗具有漂移子脉冲的射电双星B 0834 + 06和B 0826 - 34的X射线观测结果。在50 ks暴露时间内,三台EPIC仪器共检测到70个计数的PSR B 0834 + 06。它的光谱最好描述为黑体(BB),温度为$T_s=(2.0^{+2.0}_{-0.9}) \times 10^6$ K,热光度为$L_b=(8.6^{+14.2}_{-4.4}) \times 10^{28}$ erg s $^{-1}$。由于在X射线光谱中具有BB热分量的脉冲星中,热点表面积比典型极帽的表面积小得多,这意味着非偶极表面磁场比来自脉冲星自旋下降的偶极分量强得多(在这种情况下,分别小和强约50倍)。第二颗脉冲星PSR B 0826 - 34在超过50 ks的曝光时间内没有被探测到,给出了辐射热光度$L_b \leq 1.4 \times 10^{29}$ erg s $^{-1}$的上限。我们利用这些数据以及与漂移子脉冲有关的射电辐射数据,检验了部分屏蔽能隙(PSG)模型。

英文摘要:

We report the X-ray observations of two radio pulsars with drifting subpulses: B0834 + 06 and B0826 - 34 using \xmm\. PSR B0834 + 06 was detected with a total of 70 counts from the three EPIC instruments over 50 ks exposure time. Its spectrum was best described as that of a blackbody (BB) with temperature $T_s=(2.0^{+2.0}_{-0.9}) \times 10^6$ K and bolometric luminosity of $L_b=(8.6^{+14.2}_{-4.4}) \times 10^{28}$ erg s$^{-1}$. As it is typical in pulsars with BB thermal components in their X-ray spectra, the hot spot surface area is much smaller than that of the canonical polar cap, implying a non-dipolar surface magnetic field much stronger than the dipolar component derived from the pulsar spin-down (in this case about 50 times smaller and stronger, respectively). The second pulsar PSR B0826 - 34 was not detected over 50 ks exposure time, giving an upper limit for the bolometric luminosity $L_b \leq 1.4 \times 10^{29}$ erg s$^{-1}$. We use these data as well as the radio emission data concerned with drifting subpulses to test the Partially Screened Gap (PSG) model of the inner accelerator in pulsars.
