摘要:

蟹状星云脉冲星在2010年经历了一次由费米LAT观测到的大耀斑。哈勃太空望远镜的观测表明,耀斑伴随着蟹状星云铁砧区域的结构变化。在光度分析的框架内,我们重建了这一事件的能量。光柱附近的重连区预计将通过加速电子束释放能量,导致不同幅度的耀斑。在这种情况下,大耀斑会减少储存在重联区的磁能,从而对可能起源于这些区域的巨型射电耀斑的性质产生影响。我们用韦斯特博克综合射电望远镜观测巨大的射电脉冲来测试这种情况。

英文摘要:

The Crab pulsar experienced a major flare in 2010 as observed by Fermi LAT. Observations by the Hubble Space Telescope indicate that the flare was accompanied by a structural change in the anvil region of the Crab Nebula. In the framework of a photometric analysis we reconstruct the energetics of this event. Reconnection zones near the light cylinder are expected to release energy by accelerating beams of electrons, leading to flares of varying amplitude. In this case the major flare would have reduced the magnetic energy stored in the reconnection zones, and would thus have had an impact on the properties of the giant radio flares presumably originating from these regions. We test this scenario by observing giant radio pulses with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope.
