三个爆发低质量X射线双星的高分辨X射线谱柱密度

Column Densities Towards Three Bursting Low-Mass X-ray Binaries from High Resolution X-ray Spectroscopy

Patricia Wroblewski, Tolga Guver, Feryal Ozel

摘要:

我们通过模拟钱德拉X射线天文台获得的高分辨率X射线光谱中发现的Mg和Si吸收边,测量了中子星双星GX 17+2、4U 1705-44和4U 1728-34的银河系氢柱密度。我们发现GX 17+2的N_H =(2.38 +/- 0.12)x 10^22 cm^-2,4U 1705-44的N_H =(2.44 +/- 0.09)x 10^22 cm^-2,4U 1728-34的N_H =(2.49 +/- 0.14)x 10^22 cm^-2。这些值是在合理的协议与氢柱密度推断较早从建模的连续光谱的来源。我们的结果可以用来约束这些源的X射线谱的模型参数的不确定性,这些不确定性与氢柱密度的不确定性相关。在热核X射线爆发期间获得的连续谱的情况下,它们将显着降低光谱测量的质量和半径的中子星的不确定性。

英文摘要:

We measured the galactic hydrogen column densities to the neutron-star binaries GX 17+2, 4U 1705-44, and 4U 1728-34 by modeling the Mg and Si absorption edges found in high-resolution X-ray spectra obtained by the Chandra X-ray Observatory. We found for GX 17+2, N_H = (2.38 +/- 0.12) x 10^22 cm^-2, for 4U 1705-44, N_H = (2.44 +/- 0.09) x 10^22 cm^-2, and for 4U 1728-34, N_H = (2.49 +/- 0.14) x 10^22 cm^-2. These values are in reasonable agreement with the hydrogen column densities inferred earlier from modeling of the continuum spectra of the sources. Our results can be used to constrain the uncertainties of model parameters of the X-ray spectra of these sources that are correlated to the uncertainties of the hydrogen column density. In the case of continuum spectra obtained during thermonuclear X-ray bursts, they will significantly reduce the uncertainties in the spectroscopically measured masses and radii of the neutron stars.
