摘要:

2009年1月,我们研究了异常X射线脉冲星1 E 1547.0-5408的异常活动期,在此期间,INTEGRAL探测到约200次爆发。当源在所有INTEGRAL仪器的视野之外时,发生主要活动事件。但我们仍然能够研究光谱仪SPI的反符合屏蔽和成像仪ISGRI的探测器同时探测到的84个爆发的特性。我们发现2009年1月22日1 E 1547.0-5408爆发的亮度> 1 e42 erg/s。这个亮度是可比的软伽马中继(SGR)的爆发,至少是两个数量级以上的亮度比以前报道的爆发从AXP。与SGR爆发类似,1 E 1547.0-5408的最亮爆发由一个持续时间约为100 ms的短尖峰和一个硬光谱组成,随后是一个持续时间为1-10 s的较软的延伸尾部,偶尔会出现源自旋周期约为2 s的脉动。观测到AXP爆发的亮度与SGR爆发的亮度相当,这加强了AXP和SGR是同一源类型的不同代表的猜想。

英文摘要:

(Abridged) We studied an exceptional period of activity of the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1E 1547.0-5408 in January 2009, during which about 200 bursts were detected by INTEGRAL. The major activity episode happened when the source was outside the field of view of all the INTEGRAL instruments. But we were still able to study the properties of 84 bursts detected simultaneously by the anti-coincidence shield of the spectrometer SPI and by the detector of the imager ISGRI. We find that the luminosity of the 22 January 2009 bursts of 1E 1547.0-5408 was > 1e42 erg/s. This luminosity is comparable to that of the bursts of soft gamma repeaters (SGR) and is at least two orders of magnitude larger than the luminosity of the previously reported bursts from AXPs. Similarly to the SGR bursts, the brightest bursts of 1E 1547.0-5408 consist of a short spike of ~100 ms duration with a hard spectrum, followed by a softer extended tail of 1-10 s duration, which occasionally exhibits pulsations with the source spin period of ~2 s. The observation of AXP bursts with luminosities comparable to the one of SGR bursts strengthens the conjecture that AXPs and SGRs are different representatives of one and the same source type.
