摘要:

本文介绍了PSR B1821- 24 A(J1824- 2452 A,M28 A)的宽波段(720-2400 MHz)研究结果。PSR B1821- 24 A是一颗射电、X射线和γ射线可见的高能毫秒脉冲星。在射电中,脉冲星有一个复杂的平均轮廓,跨越超过85%的自旋周期,并随着观测频率表现出强烈的演化。这是我们第一次测量几乎所有脉冲窗口的射电辐射的相位分辨偏振特性和光谱指数。我们将这些知识与高能信息相结合,将M28 A与其他已知的伽马射线毫秒彗星进行比较,并推测M28 A的无线电发射起源于其磁层内的多个区域(即在光柱附近的槽或外部间隙以及极盖上方的较低海拔)。M28 A是少数几颗已知会发射巨脉冲(GP)的恒星之一,这些脉冲是性质未知的短而明亮的无线电脉冲。我们报告下降的线性偏振的平均配置文件中的两个窗口的GP生成,也是一个“W”形的吸收功能(类似于一个双缺口),部分重叠的GP窗口之一。GP本身具有宽带光谱,其由分数光谱宽度($Δν/ν$)约为0.07的多个斑块组成。虽然我们的时间分辨率不足以解决微秒尺度上的GP结构,我们认为,从这个脉冲星的GP最接近的螃蟹脉冲星,其中包括一系列的窄带nanoshots主脉冲的GP。

英文摘要:

We present the results of wide-band (720-2400 MHz) study of PSR B1821-24A (J1824-2452A, M28A), an energetic millisecond pulsar visible in radio, X-rays and gamma-rays. In radio, the pulsar has a complex average profile which spans >85% of the spin period and exhibits strong evolution with observing frequency. For the first time we measure phase-resolved polarization properties and spectral indices of radio emission throughout almost all of the on-pulse window. We combine this knowledge with the high-energy information to compare M28A to other known gamma-ray millisecond pulsars and to speculate that M28A's radio emission originates in multiple regions within its magnetosphere (i.e. both in the slot or outer gaps near the light cylinder and at lower altitudes above the polar cap). M28A is one of the handful of pulsars which are known to emit Giant Pulses (GPs) -- short, bright radio pulses of unknown nature. We report a drop in the linear polarization of the average profile in both windows of GP generation and also a `W'-shaped absorption feature (resembling a double notch), partly overlapping with one of the GP windows. The GPs themselves have broadband spectra consisting of multiple patches with fractional spectral width ($Δν/ν$) of about 0.07. Although our time resolution was not sufficient to resolve the GP structure on the microsecond scale, we argue that GPs from this pulsar most closely resemble the GPs from the main pulse of the Crab pulsar, which consist of a series of narrowband nanoshots.
