摘要:

在重新分析球状星团47 Tuccino的钱德拉档案数据时,我们在星团的半质量半径范围内发现了一个新的弥散X射线发射特征。扩散发射的光谱可以通过幂律模型加上具有光子指数$Γ\sim1.0$和等离子体温度$kT\sim0.2$ keV的等离子体分量来描述。虽然热分量明显是均匀的,但非热贡献从核心呈指数下降。观测到的性质可能可以解释的背景下,由集群中的恒星风之间的碰撞和脉冲星风和遗迹光子之间的逆康普顿散射造成的多次冲击。

英文摘要:

In re-analyzing the archival Chandra data of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, we have detected a new diffuse X-ray emission feature within the half-mass radius of the cluster. The spectrum of the diffuse emission can be described by a power-law model plus a plasma component with photon index $Γ\sim1.0$ and plasma temperature $kT\sim0.2$ keV. While the thermal component is apparently uniform, the non-thermal contribution falls off exponentially from the core. The observed properties could possibly be explained in the context of multiple shocks resulted from the collisions among the stellar wind in the cluster and the inverse Compton scattering between the pulsar wind and the relic photons.
