X射线激发毫秒级射电望远镜爆发剖面的模拟

Modelling the outburst profile of X-ray powered millisecond pulsars

Maurizio Falanga

摘要:

低质量X射线双星的爆发相对于矮新星激变变星的爆发是延长的,这是由于X射线照射盘的结果。我们表明,衰变光变曲线的时间尺度和它在一个特征时间的光度与吸积盘的半径有关。因此,一个好的X射线光变曲线允许两个独立的估计光盘半径。在毫秒级的射电望远镜SAXJ1808.4 -3658和XTEJ 0929 -314的情况下,这些估计之间的一致性非常强。我们的分析允许新的距离和吸积盘半径的测定。我们的分析将允许在外部星系的源的吸积盘半径的测定,从而约束系统参数,其他观测技术是不可能的。我们也使用X射线光变曲线来估计传质速率。在2002年的SAXJ1808.4 -3658爆发中观察到的破指数衰减可能是由圆盘的自阴影变化引起的。

英文摘要:

The outbursts of low mass X-ray binaries are prolonged relative to those of dwarf nova cataclysmic variables as a consequence of X-ray irradiation of the disc. We show that the time-scale of the decay light curve and its luminosity at a characteristic time are linked to the radius of the accretion disc. Hence a good X-ray light curve permits two independent estimates of the disc radius. In the case of the millisecond pulsars SAX J1808.4-3658 and XTE J0929-314 the agreement between these estimates is very strong. Our analysis allows new determinations of distances and accretion disc radii. Our analysis will allow determination of accretion disc radii for sources in external galaxies, and hence constrain system parameters where other observational techniques are not possible. We also use the X-ray light curves to estimate the mass transfer rate. The broken exponential decay observed in the 2002 outburst of SAX J1808.4-3658 may be caused by the changing self-shadowing of the disc.
