摘要:

我们用XMM-Newton和Gemini-South(几乎同时)观测到了第一颗吸积毫秒脉冲星SAXJ1808.4 -3658(1808)处于深静止状态。1808年的X射线光谱与2001年和2006年在平静期观测到的光谱相似,可以用吸收的幂律定律描述,光子指数为1.74 ± 0.11,未吸收的X射线光度L_X=7.9 ± 0.7 <$10 ^{31}尔格/秒,N_H=1.3*10^{21} cm^{-2}。用幂律拟合所有的静态XMM-牛顿X射线谱,我们约束任何具有氢大气的热发射中子星的温度小于30 eV,并且L_{NS}(0.01-10 keV)<6.2*10^{30}尔格/秒。热等离子体模型也给出了一个可接受的适合的连续。在等离子体模型中加入一个中子星成分,对中子星的约束就不那么严格了:温度为36^{+4}_{-8} eV,L_{NS}(0.01-10 keV)=1.3^{+0.6}_{-0.8}*10^{31} ergs/s。在当前中子星加热和冷却理论的框架下,1808和1H 1905+000的热光度限制要求这些中子星的核心强烈增强冷却。我们编译的数据从文献上的质量传递速率和静态热通量的最大可能的样本瞬态中子星LMXB。我们确定了一个热成分的吸积毫秒脉冲星IGR J 00291 +5934的静态光谱,这是符合标准的冷却模型。IGR J 00291 +5934和1808的冷却速率之间的对比表明,1808可能具有明显更大的质量。这可以解释为在这些相似的系统中,双星演化历史或初始中子星质量的差异。

英文摘要:

We observed SAX J1808.4-3658 (1808), the first accreting millisecond pulsar, in deep quiescence with XMM-Newton and (near-simultaneously) Gemini-South. The X-ray spectrum of 1808 is similar to that observed in quiescence in 2001 and 2006, describable by an absorbed power-law with photon index 1.74+-0.11 and unabsorbed X-ray luminosity L_X=7.9+-0.7*10^{31} ergs/s, for N_H=1.3*10^{21} cm^{-2}. Fitting all the quiescent XMM-Newton X-ray spectra with a power-law, we constrain any thermally emitting neutron star with a hydrogen atmosphere to have a temperature less than 30 eV and L_{NS}(0.01-10 keV)<6.2*10^{30} ergs/s. A thermal plasma model also gives an acceptable fit to the continuum. Adding a neutron star component to the plasma model produces less stringent constraints on the neutron star; a temperature of 36^{+4}_{-8} eV and L_{NS}(0.01-10 keV)=1.3^{+0.6}_{-0.8}*10^{31} ergs/s. In the framework of the current theory of neutron star heating and cooling, the constraints on the thermal luminosity of 1808 and 1H 1905+000 require strongly enhanced cooling in the cores of these neutron stars. We compile data from the literature on the mass transfer rates and quiescent thermal flux of the largest possible sample of transient neutron star LMXBs. We identify a thermal component in the quiescent spectrum of the accreting millisecond pulsar IGR J00291+5934, which is consistent with the standard cooling model. The contrast between the cooling rates of IGR J00291+5934 and 1808 suggests that 1808 may have a significantly larger mass. This can be interpreted as arising from differences in the binary evolution history or initial neutron star mass in these otherwise similar systems.
