摘要:

利用费米γ射线空间望远镜上的大面积望远镜的观测资料,我们寻找了球状星团M28(NGC 6626)方向的γ射线脉动。本文报道了在M28中发现一个与高能毫秒脉冲星PSR B1821 - 24频率一致的信号。加权H检验统计量(TS)为28.8,对应于~1e-5的机会概率(4.3-sigma检测)。与相位分辨分析,脉冲分量被发现贡献的25%的总观测到的伽马射线发射从集群。另一方面,非脉冲水平提供了一个约束的基础MSP人口和基本平面关系的情况下,逆康普顿散射。鼓励在无线电/X射线中进行后续定时观测,以进一步研究这种周期性信号候选者。

英文摘要:

Using the data from the Large Area Telescope on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, we have searched for the gamma-ray pulsations from the direction of globular cluster M28 (NGC 6626). We report the discovery of a signal with the frequency consistent with that of the energetic millisecond pulsar (MSP) PSR B1821-24 in M28. A weighted H-test test statisic (TS) of 28.8 is attained which corresponds to a chance probability of ~1e-5 (4.3-sigma detection). With a phase-resolved analysis, the pulsed component is found to contribute ~25% of the total observed gamma-ray emission from the cluster. On the other hand, the unpulsed level provides a constraint for the underlying MSP population and the fundamental plane relations for the scenario of inverse Compton scattering. Follow-up timing observations in radio/X-ray are encouraged for further investigating this periodic signal candidate.
