摘要:

SS 433位于超新星遗迹W50的中心,是一个由一颗致密星和一颗正常星组成的近距离双星系统。物质喷流从致密恒星附近对称地向东和西向外喷射。非热硬X射线发射检测从叶躺在两侧。冲击加速电子预计将通过叶中的逆康普顿过程产生亚TeV伽马射线。2001年8、9月和2002年7、9月,利用10米CANGAROO-Ⅱ望远镜对SS 433/W50系统的X射线西瓣区进行了亚TeV γ射线观测。ON源的总观测时间为85.2小时,OFF源数据的总观测时间为80.8小时。在SS 433/W50系统的X射线西瓣的3个区域中,未发现明显的亚TeV γ射线过剩。我们已经推导出99%的置信水平上限的伽马射线通量,并设置约束的磁场的强度,假设同步加速器/逆康普顿模型的光子谱从无线电到TeV的宽能量范围。导出的下限是4.3微高斯的最亮的X射线发射区域的中心和6.3微高斯的远端从SS 433在西方的X射线瓣。此外,我们认为,斑点状的X射线发射可能提供了一个主要的贡献,最硬的X射线光谱的叶。

英文摘要:

SS433, located at the center of the supernova remnant W50, is a close proximity binary system consisting of a compact star and a normal star. Jets of material are directed outwards from the vicinity of the compact star symmetrically to the east and west. Non-thermal hard X-ray emission is detected from lobes lying on both sides. Shock accelerated electrons are expected to generate sub-TeV gamma rays through the inverse-Compton process in the lobes. Observations of the western X-ray lobe region of SS433/W50 system have been performed to detect sub-TeV gamma-rays using the 10m CANGAROO-II telescope in August and September, 2001, and July and September, 2002. The total observation times are 85.2 hours for ON source, and 80.8 hours for OFF source data. No significant excess of sub-TeV gamma rays has been found at 3 regions of the western X-ray lobe of SS433/W50 system. We have derived 99% confidence level upper limits to the fluxes of gamma rays and have set constraints on the strengths of the magnetic fields assuming the synchrotron/inverse-Compton model for the wide energy range of photon spectrum from radio to TeV. The derived lower limits are 4.3 microgauss for the center of the brightest X-ray emission region and 6.3 microgauss for the far end from SS433 in the western X-ray lobe. In addition, we suggest that the spot-like X-ray emission may provide a major contribution to the hardest X-ray spectrum in the lobe.
