十个球状星团绿岸望远镜中的一颗新脉冲星

A New Pulsar in Green Bank Telescope Searches of Ten Globular Clusters

Ryan S. Lynch, Scott M. Ransom

摘要:

本文报道了用RobertC.伯德格林班克望远镜。在NGC 5986中发现了一颗新的毫秒脉冲双星,其P= 2.6ms,P_orb= 1.3d,最小伴星质量为0.16M_sun。这颗伴星很可能是一颗氦白矮星。在我们搜寻的球状星团中,有8个星团的中心密度小于10^4 L_sun pc^-3,这使其成为研究低密度星团中脉冲星含量的一个很好的样本。在密度小于10^3 L_sun pc^-3的非常低的星系团中,我们没有发现任何证据,这与理论预测是一致的。在我们搜索的许多中等密度的星系团中,计算结果表明这些系统不包含明亮的MSP。特别是两个星团,其中一个金属丰度非常低,与Ivanova等人(2008)的理论计算相反。我们还发现,Phinney(1996)计算的三体交换相互作用率似乎高估了我们所研究的星团中脉冲星的含量。

英文摘要:

We report the results of pulsar searches in ten globular clusters using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope. One new binary millisecond pulsar has been discovered in NGC 5986 with P=2.6 ms, P_orb=1.3 d, and a minimum companion mass of 0.16 M_sun. The companion is most likely a Helium white dwarf. Eight of the globular clusters we searched have central densities <10^4 L_sun pc^-3, making this a good sample for studying the pulsar content of low density clusters. We find no evidence for pulsars in clusters with very low densities <10^3 L_sun pc^-3, consistent with theoretical predictions. Null results in many of clusters we searched with moderate densities indicate that these systems do not contain a bright MSP. Two clusters in particular, one with very low metallicity, stand in contrast to theoretical calculations by Ivanova et al. (2008). We also find that three body exchange interaction rates calculated by Phinney (1996) seem to over predict the pulsar content in the clusters we studied.
