摘要:

在2006-2007年爆发期间,利用\xte对$\sim$ 3 Ms的中子星X射线瞬变XTE J1701-462进行了观测。在这里,我们报告的发现,三个I型X射线爆发的XTE J1701-462。它们发生在源从典型的Z源行为向典型的环礁源行为过渡时,在爱丁顿光度的$\sim10%$。第一次爆发是在Z源扩张分支中检测到的;第二次爆发是在扩张和正常分支之间的顶点中检测到的;第三次爆发是在环状源软状态中检测到的。在耀斑分支中发现的爆发对早期的猜测产生了怀疑,即耀斑分支是由于吸积物质的不稳定核燃烧造成的。最后两个爆发的光球半径膨胀,从我们估计的距离源为8.8千秒差距与15%的不确定性。在这三次爆发中,在30至4000 Hz范围内没有发现明显的爆发振荡。

英文摘要:

The neutron-star X-ray transient XTE J1701-462 was observed for $\sim$3 Ms with \xte during its 2006-2007 outburst. Here we report on the discovery of three type-I X-ray bursts from XTE J1701-462. They occurred as the source was in transition from the typical Z-source behavior to the typical atoll-source behavior, at $\sim10%$ of the Eddington luminosity. The first burst was detected in the Z-source flaring branch; the second in the vertex between the flaring and normal branches; and the third in the atoll-source soft state. The detection of the burst in the flaring branch cast doubts on earlier speculations that the flaring branch is due to unstable nuclear burning of accreted matter. The last two of the three bursts show photospheric radius expansion, from which we estimate the distance to the source to be 8.8 kpc with a 15% uncertainty. No significant burst oscillations in the range 30 to 4000 Hz were found during these three bursts.
