吸积毫秒双星中时间噪声的另一种解释

An alternative interpretation of the timing noise in accreting millisecond pulsars

Alessandro Patruno, Rudy Wijnands, Michiel van der Klis

摘要:

吸积毫秒X射线双星(AMXPs)自旋频率的测量受到脉冲到达时间中存在的未建模成分“定时噪声”的强烈影响。我们表明,这是可能的属性大部分的定时噪声的脉冲相位偏移,变化与X射线通量的相关性,这样的噪声通量转化为定时噪声。这可以解释许多脉冲频率的变化,以前解释的条款,真正的自旋或自旋下降,并会偏置测量的自旋频率。根据这一假设的自旋频率提高报告六AMXP。这种效应最容易用吸积率相关的热点位置来解释。

英文摘要:

The measurement of the spin frequency in accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars (AMXPs) is strongly affected by the presence of an unmodeled component in the pulse arrival times called 'timing noise'. We show that it is possible to attribute much of this timing noise to a pulse phase offset that varies in correlation with X-ray flux, such that noise in flux translates into timing noise. This could explain many of the pulse frequency variations previously interpreted in terms of true spin up or spin down, and would bias measured spin frequencies. Spin frequencies improved under this hypothesis are reported for six AMXPs. The effect would most easily be accounted for by an accretion rate dependent hot spot location.
