球状星团脉冲星甚高能γ射线的估计

Estimates for Very High Energy Gamma Rays from Globular Cluster Pulsars

C. Venter, O. C. de Jager

摘要:

低质量X射线双星(LMXRB)被认为是回收毫秒双星(MSP)的祖先,大量存在于球状星团(GC)中。因此,预计各总部所在地将容纳大量的中型企业。这一点在观测上也得到了证实。MSP连续地将相对论性电子注入到其光柱之外的环境区域中,并且这些相对论性粒子通过同步加速器和逆康普顿(IC)过程产生非脉冲辐射。因此,它是可能的,在广义相对论(GR)框架拖动MSP模型的背景下,预测非脉冲非常高的能量辐射预计从附近的GC。我们使用一个周期衍生物清洁样品的MSP在47 Tuccenda,其中集群潜力的影响,对个人的周期衍生物已被删除。使用Monte Carlo过程,包括脉冲星的几何形状的影响,我们得到平均注入光谱(相对较小的误差)的粒子离开MSP。这些光谱接下来被用来预测累积的同步加速器和IC光谱,预计从47 Tuccenda,这是一个下限,因为没有再加速假设。我们发现,来自47 Tuccenda的IC辐射可能对H.E.S.S.可见,这取决于星云场B以及GC中MSP的数量N。像钱德拉和哈勃这样的望远镜可能会发现,如果视场中有许多未分辨的源,很难测试散射辐射的SR分量预测。这些结果可以重新调整为其他GC,其中较少的信息是可用的,假设通用的GC MSP特征。

英文摘要:

Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXRBs), believed to be the progenitors of recycled millisecond pulsars (MSPs), occur abundantly in globular clusters (GCs). GCs are therefore expected to host large numbers of MSPs. This is also confirmed observationally. The MSPs continuously inject relativistic electrons into the ambient region beyond their light cylinders, and these relativistic particles produce unpulsed radiation via the synchrotron and inverse Compton (IC) processes. It is thus possible, in the context of General Relativistic (GR) frame-dragging MSP models, to predict unpulsed very high energy radiation expected from nearby GCs. We use a period-derivative cleaned sample of MSPs in 47 Tucanae, where the effects of the cluster potential on the individual period derivatives have been removed. Using a Monte Carlo process to include effects of pulsar geometry, we obtain average injection spectra (with relatively small errors) of particles leaving the MSPs. These spectra are next used to predict cumulative synchrotron and IC spectra expected from 47 Tucanae, which is a lower limit, as no reacceleration is assumed. We find that the IC radiation from 47 Tucanae may be visible for H.E.S.S., depending on the nebular field B as well as the number of MSPs N in the GC. Telescopes such as Chandra and Hubble may find it difficult to test the SR component prediction of diffuse radiation if there are many unresolved sources in the field of view. These results may be rescaled for other GCs where less information is available, assuming universal GC MSP characteristics.
