摘要:

我们提出的时间和光谱分析的同时0.5-79千电子伏的Swift-XRT和NuSTAR观测的磁星4U 0142+61。脉冲轮廓随3和35 keV之间的光子能量而显著变化。脉冲分数随能量增加而增加,达到约20%的值,与1 E 1841-045中观察到的相似,远低于1 E 2259+586中观察到的约80%脉冲分数。我们没有检测到在以前的Suzaku-HXD观测报告的55-ks相位调制。4U 0142+61在20 keV以上的相位平均光谱由光子指数为$Γ$ ~ 0.65的硬幂定律支配,而在20 keV以下的光谱可用两个黑体、黑体加软幂定律或康普顿化黑体模型描述。我们使用Beloborodov(2013)的电子-正电子流出模型研究了全相位分辨光谱。我们的结果与Hascoet等人(2014)从INTEGRAL数据中得出的活动j丛参数一致。我们发现,一个显着的简并出现在推断的参数,如果足迹的j-丛被允许是一个薄环,而不是一个极帽。当足迹被要求是从软X射线数据推断的热点时,简并被降低。

英文摘要:

We present temporal and spectral analysis of simultaneous 0.5-79 keV Swift-XRT and NuSTAR observations of the magnetar 4U 0142+61. The pulse profile changes significantly with photon energy between 3 and 35 keV. The pulse fraction increases with energy, reaching a value of ~20%, similar to that observed in 1E 1841-045 and much lower than the ~80% pulse fraction observed in 1E 2259+586. We do not detect the 55-ks phase modulation reported in previous Suzaku-HXD observations. The phase-averaged spectrum of 4U 0142+61 above 20 keV is dominated by a hard power law with a photon index, $Γ$ ~ 0.65, and the spectrum below 20 keV can be described by two blackbodies, a blackbody plus a soft power law, or by a Comptonized blackbody model. We study the full phase-resolved spectra using the electron-positron outflow model of Beloborodov (2013). Our results are consistent with the parameters of the active j-bundle derived from INTEGRAL data by Hascoet et al. (2014). We find that a significant degeneracy appears in the inferred parameters if the footprint of the j-bundle is allowed to be a thin ring instead of a polar cap. The degeneracy is reduced when the footprint is required to be the hot spot inferred from the soft X-ray data.
