吸积毫秒脉冲星SAX J1808的非周期X射线变率。

The aperiodic X-ray variability of the accreting millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658

Peter Bult, Michiel van der Klis

摘要:

利用Rossi X射线定时探测器14年来收集的完整数据集,研究了401 Hz吸积毫秒X射线脉冲星SAXJ1808.4 -3658的非周期光变。该源显示了一些特殊的非周期性定时现象,这些现象是在定时特性的背景下观察到的,这些定时特性显示了所有五次观测到的爆发的一致趋势,与其他环礁源的趋势非常相似。我们对在SAXJ1808.4 -3658中观测到的神秘的~410 HzQPO进行了详细的研究。我们发现,它只出现在上kHz QPO频率小于401 Hz的自旋频率。~410 Hz QPO频率和自旋频率之间的差异遵循与低频功率谱分量类似的频率相关性,表明~410 Hz QPO是9 Hz范围内旋转现象的自旋频率的逆行拍。将这一9 Hz拍频特征与SAXJ1808.4 -3658和其他中子星源的低频QPO相比较,我们得出结论,这两者可能是同一基本现象的一部分。我们认为,它们可能是由于相对论,经典和磁转矩的组合逆行岁差。此外,我们提出了两个新的测量较低的kHz QPO,使我们能够,第一次,以测量该源中的双kHz QPO的频率演变。双kHz QPO在150 Hz上一起移动,保持$(0.446 \pm 0.009) ν_{spin}$的质心频率间隔。

英文摘要:

We have studied the aperiodic variability of the 401 Hz accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658 using the complete data set collected with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer over 14 years of observation. The source shows a number of exceptional aperiodic timing phenomena that are observed against a backdrop of timing properties that show consistent trends in all five observed outbursts and closely resemble those of other atoll sources. We performed a detailed study of the enigmatic ~410 Hz QPO, which has only been observed in SAX J1808.4-3658. We find that it appears only when the upper kHz QPO frequency is less than the 401 Hz spin frequency. The difference between the ~410 Hz QPO frequency and the spin frequency follows a similar frequency correlation as the low frequency power spectral components, suggesting that the ~410 Hz QPO is a retrograde beat against the spin frequency of a rotational phenomenon in the 9 Hz range. Comparing this 9 Hz beat feature with the Low-Frequency QPO in SAX J1808.4-3658 and other neutron star sources, we conclude that these two might be part of the same basic phenomenon. We suggest that they might be caused by retrograde precession due to a combination of relativistic, classical and magnetic torques. Additionally we present two new measurements of the lower kHz QPO, allowing us, for the first time, to measure the frequency evolution of the twin kHz QPOs in this source. The twin kHz QPOs are seen to move together over 150 Hz, maintaining a centroid frequency separation of $(0.446 \pm 0.009) ν_{spin}$.
