摘要:

本文报道了PSR B 0540 -69的光学光变曲线的详细分析,PSR B 0540 -69是可见光波段第二亮的脉冲星,于2009年(1月18日和20日,12月14日,15日,16日,18日)获得了安装在ESO 3.6-m NTT(智利)的甚高速光子计数光度计Iqueye。由Iqueye导出的光学光变曲线在主峰处显示出双结构,其上升边缘比后缘更陡。双峰可以用两个高斯函数拟合,两个高斯函数的高度相同,半高宽分别为13.3和15.5 ms。我们的自旋频率的新值允许延长3.5年的时间间隔,在此期间可以进行可靠的频率一阶和二阶导数的估计。对脉冲星的制动指数和年龄的影响进行了讨论。从1987年至2009年的总制动指数的值为n = 2.087 +/- 0.007。制动指数校正年龄确定在1700年左右。

英文摘要:

This paper reports a detailed analysis of the optical light curve of PSR B0540-69, the second brightest pulsar in the visible band, obtained in 2009 (Jan. 18 and 20, and Dec. 14, 15, 16, 18) with the very high speed photon counting photometer Iqueye mounted at the ESO 3.6-m NTT in La Silla (Chile). The optical light curve derived by Iqueye shows a double structure in the main peak, with a raising edge steeper than the trailing edge. The double peak can be fitted by two Gaussians with the same height and FWHM of 13.3 and 15.5 ms respectively. Our new values of spin frequencies allow to extend by 3.5 years the time interval over which a reliable estimate of frequency first and second derivatives can be performed. A discussion of implications on the braking index and age of the pulsar is carried out. A value of n = 2.087 +/- 0.007 for the overall braking index from 1987 to 2009 is derived. The braking index corrected age is confirmed around 1700 years.
