中子星和夸克星周围的薄吸积盘

Thin accretion disks around neutron and quark stars

Z. Kovács, K. S. Cheng, T. Harko

摘要:

在观测上区分不同类型的中子星(由不同的核物质状态方程描述),以及区分中子星与其他类型的奇异天体(如夸克星)的可能性,是当代天体物理学的基本问题之一。我们仔细考虑和调查的可能性,不同类型的快速旋转的中子星,以及其他类型的紧凑的广义相对论的对象,可以区分从它们周围的吸积盘的发射特性的研究。我们分别计算了几类快速旋转的中子星周围的吸积盘的能流、温度分布和发射光谱,其中中子星的能流是用不同的中子物质状态方程描述的,夸克星的能流是用MIT袋模型状态方程描述的,夸克星的能流是用CFL(Color-Flavor-Locked)相描述的.在电磁波谱中出现了特殊的特征,从而有可能利用对吸积盘发射光谱的天体物理观测直接检验致密物质的状态方程。

英文摘要:

The possibility of observationally discriminating between various types of neutron stars, described by different equations of state of the nuclear matter, as well as differentiating neutron stars from other types of exotic objects, like, for example, quark stars, is one of the fundamental problems in contemporary astrophysics. We consider and investigate carefully the possibility that different types of rapidly rotating neutron stars, as well as other type of compact general relativistic objects, can be differentiated from the study of the emission properties of the accretion disks around them. We obtain the energy flux, the temperature distribution and the emission spectrum from the accretion disks around several classes of rapidly rotating neutron stars, described by different equations of state of the neutron matter, and for quark stars, described by the MIT bag model equation of state and in the CFL (Color-Flavor-Locked) phase, respectively. Particular signatures appear in the electromagnetic spectrum, thus leading to the possibility of directly testing the equation of state of the dense matter by using astrophysical observations of the emission spectra from accretion disks.
