摘要:

GeV宁静软γ射线脉冲星是一种新的年轻的下自旋动力脉冲星,它的光谱翻转出现在~ 10 MeV附近,20 keV以下的X射线光谱可用幂律描述,光子指数约为1.2,X射线/软γ射线波段的光变曲线为单宽脉冲。它们的发射特性不同于普通的γ射线双星,$νF_ν$的谱峰出现在GeV的能带内,X射线/γ射线光变曲线有尖锐的和双峰(或多峰)。本文讨论了GeV宁静软γ射线星的X射线/软γ射线辐射是由磁对产生过程中产生的电子/正电子对的同步辐射引起的。在我们的模型中,观测几何是区分正常伽玛射线源和软伽玛射线源的关键因素。我们的模型表明,软伽玛射线天体的磁倾角($α$)和地球视角($β$)之间的差异很小,因此来自极帽区周围高磁场区的同步辐射在观测到的辐射中占主导地位。此外,软伽马射线脉冲星的倾角相对较小,为$α\leq 30$ ~度,我们的视线在外隙中通过曲率辐射过程发射的伽马射线束之外。我们还分析了四个软γ射线源的六年$Fermi$数据,以确定GeV通量的上限。

英文摘要:

There is a growing new class of young spin-down powered pulsars called GeV-quiet soft gamma-ray pulsar; (1) spectral turnover appears around~10MeV, (2) the X-ray spectra of below 20 keV can be described by power law with photon index around 1.2 and (3) the light curve in X-ray/soft gamma-ray bands shows single broad pulse. Their emission properties are distinct from the normal gamma-ray pulsars, for which the spectral peak in $νF_ν$ appears in GeV energy bands and the X-ray/gamma-ray light curves show sharp and double (or more) peaks. In this paper, we discuss that X-ray/soft gamma-ray emissions of the GeV-quiet soft gamma-ray pulsars are caused bythe synchrotron radiation of the electron/positron pairs, which are created by the magnetic pair-creation process near the stellar surface. In our model, the viewing geometry is crucial factor to discriminate between the normal gamma-ray pulsars and soft gamma-ray pulsars. Our model suggests that the difference between the magnetic inclination angle ($α$) and the Earth viewing angle ($β$) of the soft gamma-ray pulsars is small, so that the synchrotron emissions from the high magnetic field region around the polar cap region dominates in the observed emissions. Furthermore, the inclination angle of the soft gamma-ray pulsar is relatively small, $α\leq 30$~degree, and our line of sight is out of the gamma-ray beam emitted via the curvature radiation process in the outer gap. We also analysis the six year $Fermi$ data for four soft gamma-ray pulsars to determine the upper limit of the GeV flux.
