摘要:

我们使用超深紫外观测获得的哈勃太空望远镜,以寻找光学同伴的球状星团47 Tuccenda的二进制毫秒双星(MSP)。我们确定了四个新的对应物(MSP 47 TucQ,47 TucS,47 TucT和47 TucY),并确认了已知的对应物(MSP 47 TucU和47 TucW)。在彩色星等图中,发现的伴星位于主序和CO白矮星冷却序之间的区域,与质量在0.15 Msun和0.20 Msun之间的He白矮星的冷却轨迹一致。对于每一个确定的同伴,质量,冷却年龄,温度和脉冲星质量(作为倾角的函数)已被推导和讨论。对于47 TucU,我们还发现过去的吸积历史可能以亚爱丁顿速率进行。红背47 TucW的伴星被证实是一颗非简并恒星,其性质与黑寡妇系统的性质特别相似。在射电位置47 TucH和47 TucI的2-sigma天体测量不确定度范围内已经确定了两颗恒星,但是现有的数据阻止我们坚定地评估它们是否是这两颗MSP的真正伴星。

英文摘要:

We used ultra-deep UV observations obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope to search for optical companions to binary millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae. We identified four new counterparts (to MSPs 47TucQ, 47TucS, 47TucT and 47TucY) and confirmed those already known (to MSPs 47TucU and 47TucW). In the color magnitude diagram, the detected companions are located in a region between the main sequence and the CO white dwarf cooling sequences, consistent with the cooling tracks of He white dwarfs of mass between 0.15 Msun and 0.20 Msun. For each identified companion, mass, cooling age, temperature and pulsar mass (as a function of the inclination angle) have been derived and discussed. For 47TucU we also found that the past accretion history likely proceeded in a sub-Eddington rate. The companion to the redback 47TucW is confirmed to be a non degenerate star, with properties particularly similar to those observed for black widow systems. Two stars have been identified within the 2-sigma astrometric uncertainty from the radio positions of 47TucH and 47TucI, but the available data prevent us from firmly assessing whether they are the true companions of these two MSPs.
