寻找七颗射电脉冲星周围的碎片

Searching for Debris Disks around Seven Radio Pulsars

Z. Wang, C. -Y. Ng, X. Wang, A. Li, D. L. Kaplan

摘要:

我们报告我们的搜索碎片磁盘周围的七个相对较近的射电望远镜,这是孤立的来源,并仔细选择为我们的深$K_s$波段成像调查的基础上的目标。本文分析了坎帕纳斯天文台6.5 m Baade Magellan望远镜的$K_s$图像,以及4.5和8.0 m的\textit{Spitzer} /IRAC图像和3.4,4.6,12和22~ $μ$ m的\textit{WISE}图像。没有发现这些光谱的红外(IR)对应物,其通量上限为近红外($λ<10\ μ$ m)处的$\sim μ$ Jy和中红外波长($λ>10\ μ$ m)处的$\sim$ 10- 1000\,$μ$ Jy。从脉冲星自旋下降能转化为热能的效率和碎片盘的X射线加热两个方面讨论了这一研究结果,并与两颗被认为存在碎片盘的磁星4U~0142+61和1 E ~2259+586进行了比较。

英文摘要:

We report on our searches for debris disks around seven relatively nearby radio pulsars, which are isolated sources and were carefully selected as the targets on the basis of our deep $K_s$-band imaging survey. The $K_s$ images obtained with the 6.5\,m Baade Magellan Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory are analyzed together with the \textit{Spitzer}/IRAC images at 4.5 and 8.0~$μ$m and the \textit{WISE} images at 3.4, 4.6, 12 and 22~$μ$m. No infrared (IR) counterparts of these pulsars are found, with flux upper limits of $\sim μ$Jy at near-infrared ($λ<10\ μ$m) and $\sim$10--1000\,$μ$Jy at mid-infrared wavelengths ($λ>10\ μ$m). The results of this search are discussed in terms of the efficiency of converting the pulsar spin-down energy to thermal energy and X-ray heating of debris disks, with comparison made to the two magnetars 4U~0142+61 and 1E~2259+586 which are suggested to harbor a debris disk.
