摘要:

我们目前的结果,从高分辨率的红外观测磁星SGR 1806 -20和SGR 1900+14超过5年,使用激光支持的自适应光学在10米凯克天文台。我们对这些磁星自行的测量提供了磁星与其祖先之间的可靠联系,并提供了磁星的年龄估计。在它们假定的关联的测量距离上,我们测量到SGR 1806-20的线性横向速度为350 +/- 100 km/s,SGR 1900+14的线性横向速度为130 +/- 30 km/s。这两颗磁星的横向速度矢量都指向远离大质量恒星的星团,巩固了它们之间的联系。假设磁星是在星团中诞生的,我们可以估计SGR 1806-20的制动指数约为1.8,SGR 1900+14的制动指数约为1.2。这是显着低于规范值n = 3预测的磁偶极子自旋下降,这表明一个替代源的耗散,如扭曲的磁层或粒子风。

英文摘要:

We present results from high-resolution infrared observations of magnetars SGR1806-20 and SGR 1900+14 over 5 years using laser-supported adaptive optics at the 10-m Keck Observatory. Our measurements of the proper motions of these magnetars provide robust links between magnetars and their progenitors and provide age estimates for magnetars. At the measured distances of their putative associations, we measure the linear transverse velocity of SGR 1806-20 to be 350 +/- 100 km/s and of SGR 1900+14 to be 130 +/- 30 km/s. The transverse velocity vectors for both magnetars point away from the clusters of massive stars, solidifying their proposed associations. Assuming that the magnetars were born in the clusters, we can estimate the braking index to be ~1.8 for SGR 1806-20 and ~1.2 for SGR 1900+14. This is significantly lower than the canonical value of n = 3 predicted by the magnetic dipole spin-down suggesting an alternative source of dissipation such as twisted magnetospheres or particle winds.
