摘要:

我们目前的朱雀船底座η星的结果在5- 50 keV的范围内进行了两次在2005年8月的50 ks和2006年2月的20 ks的apastron周围。X射线成像光谱仪(XIS)产生硬(5- 12 keV)带谱,分辨来自高度电离的Fe和Ni的K壳线。硬X射线探测器在超硬(15- 50 keV)波段产生了显著的探测,该波段未被附近的源污染。我们使用XIS的K壳层线特征将硬带中占主导地位的光学薄热等离子体发射的温度限制为3- 4keV。我们发现了显着的过量发射以上的热发射在超硬带与PIN,证实了以前的积分ISGRI报告。整个5- 50 keV的光谱拟合的组合的热等离子体模型加上平坦的幂律或非常热的热韧致辐射模型的过量发射。在系统和统计不确定性范围内,不同历元的过量辐射没有明显变化,在硬带也没有观测到类似耀斑的通量放大现象,表明过量辐射是一种稳定的现象。我们认为,超硬辐射是由于恒星的紫外光子的逆康普顿的非热电子或非常热的等离子体的热韧致辐射,而不是由非热电子碰撞冷环境物质的韧致辐射。

英文摘要:

We present the Suzaku results of eta Carinae in the 5--50 keV range conducted twice around the apastron in 2005 August for 50 ks and in 2006 February for 20 ks. The X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XIS) produced hard (5--12 keV) band spectra, resolving K shell lines from highly ionized Fe and Ni. The Hard X-ray Detector yielded a significant detection in the super-hard (15--50 keV) band, which is uncontaminated by near-by sources. We constrained the temperature of the optically-thin thermal plasma emission dominant in the hard band as 3--4 keV using the K-shell line features with the XIS. We found significant excess emission above the thermal emission in the super-hard band with the PIN, confirming the previous INTEGRAL ISGRI report. The entire 5--50 keV spectra were fitted by a combination of a thermal plasma model plus a flat power-law or a very hot thermal bremsstrahlung model for the excess emission. No significant change of the excess emission was found at different epochs within the systematic and statistical uncertainties and no flare-like flux amplification was seen in the hard band, indicating that the excess emission is a steady phenomenon. We argue that the super-hard emission is attributable to the inverse Compton of stellar UV photons by non-thermal electrons or to the thermal bremsstrahlung of very hot plasma, and not to the bremsstrahlung by non-thermal electrons colliding with cold ambient matter.
