摘要:

用外能隙模型解释了自旋下降脉冲星PSR B 1509 - 58的X射线和软γ射线辐射的光谱和能量相关光变曲线。在外能隙模型中,能隙内的大部分电子对产生于零电荷表面附近,能隙的电场将两个电荷分离,使它们向相反的方向运动。因此,从零电荷表面到光柱的区域主要是由粒子流出,从零电荷表面到恒星的区域主要是由粒子流入。粒子的流入和流出沿着磁场线运动并发射曲率光子,进入的曲率光子被恒星的强磁场转化为对。这些对发射同步加速器光子。我们认为PSR B 1509 -58的X射线和软γ射线是由这两对辐射的同步辐射产生的,PSR B 1509 -58的视角只接收入射辐射。磁对的产生需要大的螺距角,这使得同步辐射的脉冲轮廓不同于曲率辐射的脉冲轮廓。我们仔细地跟踪了不同俯仰角的同步辐射的脉冲轮廓。我们发现不同能带的光变曲线之间的差异是由于次级对的不同俯仰角造成的,在E> 10 MeV处出现的第二个峰来自恒星附近的区域,那里较强的磁场允许次级对以较小的俯仰角产生。

英文摘要:

The outer gap model is used here to explain the spectrum and the energy dependent light curves of the X-ray and soft gamma-ray radiations of the spin-down powered pulsar PSR B1509-58.In the outer gap model, most pairs inside the gap are created around the null charge surface and the gap's electric field separates the two charges to move in opposite directions. Consequently, the region from the null charge surface to the light cylinder is dominated by the outflow of particles and that from the null charge surface to the star is dominated by the inflow of particles. The inflow and outflow of particles move along the magnetic field lines and emit curvature photons, and the incoming curvature photons are converted to pairs by the strong magnetic field of the star. These pairs emit synchrotron photons. We suggest that the X-rays and soft gamma-rays of PSR B1509-58 result from the synchrotron radiation of these pairs, and the viewing angle of PSR B1509-58 only receives the inflow radiation. The magnetic pair creation requires a large pitch angle, which makes the pulse profile of the synchrotron radiation distinct from that of the curvature radiation. We carefully trace the pulse profiles of the synchrotron radiation with different pitch angles. We find that the differences between the light curves of different energy bands are due to the different pitch angles of the secondary pairs, and the second peak appearing at E>10MeV comes from the region near the star, where the stronger magnetic field allows the pair creation to happen with a smaller pitch angle.
