摘要:

我们提出了独特的系统J 0737 -3039(由两个天体组成,以下称为PSR-A和PSR-B)的第一次光学观测。使用哈勃太空望远镜上的高级巡天照相机的高分辨率照相机进行的超深光学观测无法检测到系统的任何光学发射,其亮度为m_F435W=27.0和m_F606W=28.3。估计的光通量限制被用来约束最近提出的三分量(两个热的和一个非热的)模型再现XMM-牛顿X射线光谱。它们表明PSR-A的非热幂律分量在低能量下存在断裂,并且与PSR-B表面的预期黑体发射相容。PSR-A磁层的光辐射的相应效率将与其他百万年前的恒星相当,因此表明这个参数可能不会在几百万年的时间尺度上急剧演变。

英文摘要:

We present the first optical observations of the unique system J0737-3039 (composed of two pulsars, hereafter PSR-A and PSR-B). Ultra-deep optical observations, performed with the High Resolution Camera of the Advanced Camera for Surveys on board the Hubble Space Telescope could not detect any optical emission from the system down to m_F435W=27.0 and m_F606W=28.3. The estimated optical flux limits are used to constrain the three-component (two thermal and one non-thermal) model recently proposed to reproduce the XMM-Newton X-ray spectrum. They suggest the presence of a break at low energies in the non-thermal power law component of PSR-A and are compatible with the expected black-body emission from the PSR-B surface. The corresponding efficiency of the optical emission from PSR-A's magnetosphere would be comparable to that of other Myr-old pulsars, thus suggesting that this parameter may not dramatically evolve over a time-scale of a few Myr.
