摘要:

毫秒双星被认为是中子星,它是由双星伴星的物质吸积而产生的。虽然大多数是在双星系统中,但大约30%是孤立的,因此它们的起源是神秘的。PSR J1719-1438是一颗5.7毫秒的脉冲星,在最近的一次调查中被帕克斯64米射电望远镜发现。我们证明它是在一个轨道周期为2.2小时的双星系统中。它的质量接近木星,但其最小密度为23 g cm $^{-3}$,这表明它可能是一颗超低质量的碳白矮星。因此,这个系统可能曾经是一个超紧凑的低质量X射线双星,其中伴星勉强避免了完全毁灭。

英文摘要:

Millisecond pulsars are thought to be neutron stars that have been spun-up by accretion of matter from a binary companion. Although most are in binary systems, some 30% are solitary, and their origin is therefore mysterious. PSR J1719-1438, a 5.7 ms pulsar, was detected in a recent survey with the Parkes 64m radio telescope. We show that it is in a binary system with an orbital period of 2.2 h. Its companion's mass is near that of Jupiter, but its minimum density of 23 g cm$^{-3}$ suggests that it may be an ultra-low mass carbon white dwarf. This system may thus have once been an Ultra Compact Low-Mass X-ray Binary, where the companion narrowly avoided complete destruction.
