摘要:

4U 2206+54是一颗高质量的X射线双星,被怀疑含有一颗中子星,该中子星是由它的伴星BD +53 2790的风吸积而来。Reig等人最近在RXTE和INTEGRAL观测中都探测到了5560 s周期的脉动,他们得出结论,这是由于中子星的自旋造成的。我们目前的意见与朱雀是同时期的RXTE观察这个来源。我们发现在5554 +/- 9秒的周期与他们的结果一致的强脉动。我们还提出了一个重新分析的BeppoSAX观测4U 2206+54在1998年,其中我们发现在5420 +/- 28秒的周期强脉动,揭示了自旋下降的趋势,在这个长周期吸积脉冲星。对这些数据的分析表明,该系统中的中子星是一颗吸积动力磁星。

英文摘要:

4U 2206+54 is a high mass X-ray binary which has been suspected to contain a neutron star accreting from the wind of its companion BD +53 2790. Reig et al. have recently detected 5560 s period pulsations in both RXTE and INTEGRAL observations which they conclude are due to the spin of the neutron star. We present observations made with Suzaku which are contemporaneous with their RXTE observation of this source. We find strong pulsations at a period of 5554 +/- 9 s in agreement with their results. We also present a reanalysis of BeppoSAX observations of 4U 2206+54 made in 1998, in which we find strong pulsations at a period of 5420 +/- 28 seconds, revealing a spin-down trend in this long-period accreting pulsar. Analysis of these data suggests that the neutron star in this system is an accretion-powered magnetar.
