摘要:

我们的目的是测量与高质量X射线脉冲双星EXO 1722 -363发生食时的超巨星伴星的径向速度曲线,从而确定其组成部分的恒星质量。我们使用了一组档案K $_{\rm s}$波段红外光谱的对应EXO 1722 -363获得使用ISAAC的VLT,并互相关,以测量径向速度的恒星。由此产生的径向速度曲线的半振幅为$24.5 \pm 5.0$ km s $^{-1}$。当结合系统的其他测量参数时,这产生的质量范围为1.5 $\pm$ 0.4 - 1.6 $\pm$ 0.4 M $_{\odot}$(对于中子星)和13.6 $\pm$ 1.6 - 15.2 $\pm$ 1.9 M $_{\odot}$(对于B 0 - 1 Ia超巨星伴星)。这些下限和上限分别是在假设系统从侧面观察(i = 90 $^\circ$)和超巨星充满罗氏瓣($β= 1$)的情况下得到的。系统倾角被限制为$i>75^{\circ}$,超巨星的罗氏瓣填充因子为$β>0.9$。此外,我们能够进一步限制我们的距离确定为7.1 $\le$ d $\le$ 7.9 kpc的EXO 1722 -363。该距离范围的X射线光度为4.7 $\times$ 10 $^{35}$ $\le$ L $_{\rm X}$ $\le$ 9.2 $\times$ 10 $^{36}$ erg s $^{-1}$。EXO 1722 -363因此成为十个已知的食X射线双星中的第七个,其中一个动态中子星质量解已经确定。此外,EXO 1722 -363是第一个利用近红外光谱测量中子星质量的系统。

英文摘要:

We intended to measure the radial velocity curve of the supergiant companion to the eclipsing high mass X-ray binary pulsar EXO1722-363 and hence determine the stellar masses of the components. We used a set of archival K$_{\rm s}$-band infrared spectra of the counterpart to EXO1722-363 obtained using ISAAC on the VLT, and cross-correlated them in order to measure the radial velocity of the star. The resulting radial velocity curve has a semi-amplitude of $24.5 \pm 5.0$ km s$^{-1}$. When combined with other measured parameters of the system, this yields masses in the range 1.5 $\pm$ 0.4 - 1.6 $\pm$ 0.4 M$_{\odot}$ for the neutron star and 13.6 $\pm$ 1.6 - 15.2 $\pm$ 1.9 M$_{\odot}$ for the B0--1 Ia supergiant companion. These lower and upper limits were obtained under the assumption that the system is viewed edge-on (i = 90$^\circ$) for the lower limit and the supergiant fills its Roche lobe ($β= 1$) for the upper limit respectively. The system inclination is constrained to $i>75^{\circ}$ and the Roche lobe-filling factor of the supergiant is $β>0.9$. Additionally we were able to further constrain our distance determination to be 7.1 $\le$ d $\le$ 7.9 kpc for EXO1722-363. The X-ray luminosity for this distance range is 4.7 $\times$ 10$^{35}$ $\le$ L$_{\rm X}$ $\le$ 9.2 $\times$ 10$^{36}$ erg s$^{-1}$. EXO1722-363 therefore becomes the seventh of the ten known eclipsing X-ray binary pulsars for which a dynamical neutron star mass solution has been determined. Additionally EXO1722-363 is the first such system to have a neutron star mass measurement made utilising near-infrared spectroscopy.
