蟹状星云脉冲星发射区的位置:对同步辐射模型的限制

The location of the Crab pulsar emission region: Restrictions on synchrotron emission models

C. -I. Björnsson, A. Sandberg, J. Sollerman

摘要:

最近对蟹状星云脉冲星的观测表明,没有证据表明红外区存在光谱突变。有人认为,在整个可观察的红外-光学范围内的观察是一致的幂律谱。这是作为一个自洽的非相干同步加速器模型票价与观测比较评估的起点。列入同步自吸收证明是重要的,因为这样的限制所施加的相对论性聚束思想定义的脉冲轮廓的发射区域的观察到的大小。结果表明,观测结果可以用来推导出两个独立的约束条件的距离从中子星的发射区,除了一个直接的下限,间接的措施是从上限的磁场强度。这两个极限都表明,发射区位于远大于光圆柱半径的距离处。这一结果的影响进行了讨论,并强调,为了标准的非相干同步加速器模型,以适应内的光缸,而特殊的物理条件需要调用。

英文摘要:

Recent observations of the Crab pulsar show no evidence for a spectral break in the infrared regime. It is argued that the observations are consistent with a power-law spectrum in the whole observable infrared - optical range. This is taken as the starting point for an evaluation of how self-consistent incoherent synchrotron models fare in a comparison with observations. Inclusion of synchrotron self-absorption proves important as does the restriction on the observed size of the emission region imposed by the relativistic beaming thought to define the pulse profile. It is shown that the observations can be used to derive two independent constraints on the distance from the neutron star to the emission region; in addition to a direct lower limit, an indirect measure is obtained from an upper limit to the magnetic field strength. Both of these limits indicate that the emission region is located at a distance considerably larger than the light cylinder radius. The implications of this result are discussed and it is emphasized that, in order for standard incoherent synchrotron models to fit inside the light cylinder, rather special physical conditions need to be invoked.
