摘要:

我们目前的伴星的识别中质量的脉冲双星J1439-5501获得的地基深的图像在B,V和I波段,获得与FORS 2安装在欧洲南方天文台-VLT。伴星是一颗大质量的白矮星(WD),B=23.57+-0.02,V=23.21+-0.01,I=22.96+-0.01,距离脉冲星射电位置仅0.05”。将WD在(B,B-V)和(V,V-I)色-星等图中的位置与理论冷却序列相比较,我们得出了一系列可能的伴星质量(1<~Mcom<~1.3 Msun)、距离(d<~1200 pc)、半径(<~7.8 × 10^3 Rsun)和温度(T=31350^{+21500}_{-7400})的组合。根据PSR质量函数和估计的质量范围,我们还限制了倾角i >~ 55度和脉冲星质量(Mpsr <~2.2 Msun)。WD冷却年龄和自旋下降年龄之间的比较表明,后者被高估了约10倍。

英文摘要:

We present the identification of the companion star to the intermediate mass binary pulsar J1439-5501 obtained by means of ground-based deep images in the B, V and I bands, acquired with FORS2 mounted at the ESO-VLT. The companion is a massive white dwarf (WD) with B=23.57+-0.02, V=23.21+-0.01 and I=22.96+-0.01, located at only ~0.05" from the pulsar radio position. Comparing the WD location in the (B, B-V) and (V, V-I) Color-Magnitude diagrams with theoretical cooling sequences we derived a range of plausible combinations of companion masses (1<~Mcom<~1.3 Msun), distances (d<~1200 pc), radii (<~7.8 10^3 Rsun) and temperatures (T=31350^{+21500}_{-7400}). From the PSR mass function and the estimated mass range we also constrained the inclination angle i >~ 55 degrees and the pulsar mass (Mpsr <~2.2 Msun). The comparison between the WD cooling age and the spin down age suggests that the latter is overestimated by a factor of about ten.
