摘要:

双脉冲星J 0737 - 3039 A/B是一个在强场区检验引力理论的独特系统。然而,这种测试的准确性将受到系统的距离和相对运动的知识的限制。在这里,我们提出了非常长的基线干涉测量观测结果,显示PSR J 0737 - 3039 A/B的距离为1150+220-160 pc,是以前估计的两倍多,并确认其低横向速度(约9 km/s)。结合十年的脉冲星计时,这些结果将允许在0.01%的水平上测试引力辐射发射理论,对预测偶极引力辐射的理论提出严格的限制。它们还可以洞察系统的形成及其高能发射的来源。

英文摘要:

The double pulsar J0737-3039A/B is a unique system with which to test gravitational theories in the strong-field regime. However, the accuracy of such tests will be limited by knowledge of the distance and relative motion of the system. Here we present very long baseline interferometry observations which reveal that the distance to PSR J0737-3039A/B is 1150+220-160 pc, more than double previous estimates, and confirm its low transverse velocity (~9 km/s). Combined with a decade of pulsar timing, these results will allow tests of gravitational radiation emission theories at the 0.01% level, putting stringent constraints on theories which predict dipolar gravitational radiation. They also allow insight into the system's formation and the source of its high-energy emission.
