关于燃烧状态和长持续时间X射线爆发

On burning regimes and long duration X-ray bursts

L. Keek, J. J. M. in 't Zand

摘要:

吸积在中子星上的氢和氦经历热核燃烧。爆炸燃烧被观察为I型X射线爆发。我们描述了不同的燃烧制度,并专注于一些目前的理论和观测之间的不一致。特别令人感兴趣的是罕见的X射线爆发,如碳燃料超级爆发和氦燃料中长X射线爆发。这些爆发被认为起源于中子星包层的更深处,因此它们是地壳热性质的探测器。我们研究了用宽场仪器INTEGRAL-ISGRI和Swift-BAT观测超暴的可能性。我们发现只有最亮的爆发才能被探测到。

英文摘要:

Hydrogen and helium accreted onto a neutron star undergo thermonuclear burning. Explosive burning is observed as a type I X-ray burst. We describe the different burning regimes and focus on some of the current inconsistencies between theory and observations. Of special interest are the rare kinds of X-ray bursts such as carbon-fueled superbursts and helium-fueled intermediately long X-ray bursts. These bursts are thought to originate deeper in the neutron star envelope, such that they are probes of the thermal properties of the crust. We investigate the possibility of observing superbursts with the wide-field instruments INTEGRAL-ISGRI and Swift-BAT. We find that only the brightest bursts are detectable.
