大质量X射线双星SAX J0635 +0533的低光度态

A low luminosity state in the massive X-ray binary SAX J0635+0533

Sandro Mereghetti, Nicola La Palombara

摘要:

2003-2004年,XMM-牛顿卫星对X射线脉冲星SAX J 0635 +0533进行了多次观测。这些观测提供的精确位置证实了SAX J 0635 +0533与Be星的关联。这是第一次在低强度状态下发现源,比以前所有观测中看到的低30倍。该光谱符合吸收功率定律,光子指数约为1.7,N_H = 1.2 × 10^22 cm^-2,与高态的光谱一致。BeppoSAX和RXTE数据显示,低通量无法探测到33.8毫秒的脉动。鉴于在2003-2004年观察到的小光度,我们重新考虑这个源的吸积和旋转供电的情况下的特殊性。

英文摘要:

The X-ray pulsar SAX J0635+0533 was repeatedly observed with the XMM-Newton satellite in 2003-2004. The precise localization provided by these observations confirms the association of SAX J0635+0533 with a Be star. The source was found, for the first time, in a low intensity state, a factor ~30 lower than that seen in all previous observations. The spectrum, well fitted by an absorbed power law with photon index ~1.7 and N_H = 1.2x10^22 cm^-2, was compatible with that of the high state. The low flux did not allow the detection of the pulsations at 33.8 ms seen BeppoSAX and RXTE data. In view of the small luminosity observed in 2003-2004, we reconsider the peculiarities of this source in both the accretion and rotation powered scenarios.
