摘要:

新发现的X射线瞬变MAXI J 0556 -332的相位分辨光谱显示,在鲍文区存在窄的发射线,这些发射线最有可能出现在这个低质量X射线双星中的质量供体星的表面。对这些线径向速度的周期搜索提供了两个候选轨道周期(16.43+/-0.12和9.754+/-0.048小时),这与任何潜在的X射线周期报告不同。假设MAXI J 0556 -332是一个相对高倾角的系统,其中包含旋进吸积盘以解释其X射线性质,则只能获得较长时期内一致的系统参数集。这些假设意味着质量比q~0.45,次级粒子径向速度半振幅K_2~190 km/s,致密天体质量约为正则中子星质量,使得MAXI J 0556 -332不可能是黑洞。我们还报告了存在强N III发射线的光谱,从而推断出高N/O丰度。最后,我们注意到,所有发射线的强度在我们观察的~1个月内显示出持续的衰减。

英文摘要:

Phase-resolved spectroscopy of the newly discovered X-ray transient MAXI J0556-332 has revealed the presence of narrow emission lines in the Bowen region that most likely arise on the surface of the mass donor star in this low mass X-ray binary. A period search of the radial velocities of these lines provides two candidate orbital periods (16.43+/-0.12 and 9.754+/-0.048 hrs), which differ from any potential X-ray periods reported. Assuming that MAXI J0556-332 is a relatively high inclination system that harbors a precessing accretion disk in order to explain its X-ray properties, it is only possible to obtain a consistent set of system parameters for the longer period. These assumptions imply a mass ratio of q~0.45, a radial velocity semi-amplitude of the secondary of K_2~190 km/s and a compact object mass of the order of the canonical neutron star mass, making a black hole nature for MAXI J0556-332 unlikely. We also report the presence of strong N III emission lines in the spectrum, thereby inferring a high N/O abundance. Finally we note that the strength of all emission lines shows a continuing decay over the ~1 month of our observations.
