摘要:

本文对吸积双星A 0 5 35 + 2 6的能量相关脉冲轮廓进行了分解,以确定中子星的两个磁极的贡献,并得到对系统几何结构和束斑图的约束。我们分析了脉冲轮廓从RXTE观测X射线制度。该方法的基本假设是,在脉冲轮廓中观察到的不对称性是由非对极磁极引起的,并且发射区域具有轴对称的束图案。给出了脉冲星的几何约束条件和波束图的可能解。我们解释了重建的光束图案的几何模型的空心柱加上一个晕的散射辐射的中子星表面,其中包括相对论光偏转。

英文摘要:

We applied a decomposition method to the energy dependent pulse profiles of the accreting binary pulsar A 0535+26, in order to identify the contribution of the two magnetic poles of the neutron star and to obtain constraints on the geometry of the system and on the beam pattern. We analyzed pulse profiles obtained from RXTE observations in the X-ray regime. Basic assumptions of the method are that the asymmetry observed in the pulse profiles is caused by non-antipodal magnetic poles and that the emission regions have axisymmetric beam patterns. Constraints on the geometry of the pulsar and a possible solution of the beam pattern are given. We interpreted the reconstructed beam pattern in terms of a geometrical model of a hollow column plus a halo of scattered radiation on the neutron star surface, which includes relativistic light deflection.
