摘要:

费米大面积望远镜(LAT)最近报道了从6个年轻的恒星(J 0631 +1036,J 0659 +1414,J 0742 -2822,J1420-6048,J1509-5850和J1718-3825)探测到脉冲伽马射线,所有这些恒星都表现出单峰脉冲轮廓(Weltevrede等人,2010年)。高质量的无线电极化数据也可用于5个这样的卫星,允许推导其观测几何的约束。我们获得独立的约束,这些脉冲星的观察几何形状,通过使用几何脉冲星发射代码模型的费米LAT和无线电光变曲线。我们发现磁倾角和观察者角度α和zeta的拟合度通常误差为~ 5度。我们的结果与Weltevrede等人(2010)的结果基本一致,尽管我们在某些情况下确实发现了差异。我们的模型最终可以提供一个框架,以限制无线电发射高度。

英文摘要:

The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has recently reported the detection of pulsed gamma-rays from 6 young pulsars (J0631+1036, J0659+1414, J0742-2822, J1420-6048, J1509-5850, and J1718-3825), all exhibiting single-peaked pulse profiles (Weltevrede et al., 2010). High-quality radio polarization data are also available for 5 of these pulsars, allowing derivation of constraints on their viewing geometries. We obtain independent constraints on the viewing geometries of these pulsars by using a geometric pulsar emission code to model the Fermi LAT and radio light curves. We find fits for the magnetic inclination and observer angles alpha and zeta with typical errors of ~ 5deg. Our results are generally consistent with those obtained by Weltevrede et al. (2010), although we do find differences in some cases. Our model may lastly provide a framework to constrain the radio emission altitude.
