摘要:

瞬态500 s X射线脉冲星MAXI J1409-619于2010年10月17日被MAXI上的狭缝相机发现,并很快被Swift精确定位。我们发现,2000年BeppoSAX号卫星对银河平面进行观测时偶然观测到了源位置。在MECS中清楚地检测到两个源:一个与IGR J14043-6148的位置一致,另一个与MAXI J1409-619的位置一致。我们报告的分析,这个档案BeppoSAX/MECS的观察与新分析的观察从ASCA和一组高能量的观测获得的偏移领域的BeppoSAX/PDS仪器。对于开源观测,1.8-100 keV能谱符合吸收功率定律,光子指数γ = 0.87 - 0.19 ^{+0.29},对应的2-10和15-100 keV未吸收通量分别为2.7E-12和4 E-11 erg/cm ~ 2/s,2-10 keV的光度为7 E +34 erg/s,距离为15 kpc。对于PDS偏移场观测,进行了大约一年后,并显示了15-100千电子伏通量的7 E-11 erg/cm 2/s,我们清楚地指出三个光谱吸收功能在44,73,和128千电子伏,解决了光谱拟合和螃蟹的比例。我们解释这些不是谐波间隔的功能,由于回旋共振。44 +/- 3 keV的基本能量对应于中子星表面的磁场强度为3.8 E12(1+z)G,其中z是引力红移。我们讨论的性质的来源,根据其可能的对应。

英文摘要:

The transient 500 s X-ray pulsar MAXI J1409-619 was discovered by the slit cameras aboard MAXI on October 17, 2010, and soon after accurately localized by Swift. We found that the source position was serendipitously observed in 2000 during BeppoSAX observations of the Galactic plane. Two sources are clearly detected in the MECS: one is consistent with the position of IGR J14043-6148 and the other one with that of MAXI J1409-619. We report on the analysis of this archival BeppoSAX/MECS observation integrated with newly analyzed observation from ASCA and a set of high-energy observations obtained from the offset fields of the BeppoSAX/PDS instrument. For the ON-source observation, the 1.8-100 keV spectrum is fit by an absorbed power law with a photon index Gamma = 0.87_{-0.19}^{+0.29}, corresponding to 2-10 and 15-100 keV unabsorbed fluxes of 2.7E-12 and 4E-11 erg/cm2/s, respectively, and a 2-10 keV luminosity of 7E+34 erg/s for a 15 kpc distance. For a PDS offset field observation, performed about one year later and showing a 15-100 keV flux of 7E-11 erg/cm2/s, we clearly pinpoint three spectral absorption features at 44, 73, and 128 keV, resolved both in the spectral fit and in the Crab ratio. We interpret these not harmonically spaced features as due to cyclotron resonances. The fundamental energy of 44 +/- 3 keV corresponds to a magnetic field strength at the neutron star surface of 3.8E12 (1+z) G, where z is the gravitational redshift. We discuss the nature of the source in the light of its possible counterpart.
