摘要:

我们报告同步NuSTAR和XMM-牛顿观测磁星1 E 1048.1 $-$ 5937在2013年7月获得,随着罗西X射线定时探测器(RXTE)的数据从2002年12月到2012年3月获得相同的来源。NuSTAR的数据提供了一个清晰的检测这个磁星的持续发射高达20千电子伏。我们在7-10 keV波段的平均脉冲轮廓中检测到一个以前未报道的小的次峰,它增长到与10- 20 keV波段的主峰相当的幅度。我们使用RXTE数据表明,这个次峰可能是短暂的。我们发现,脉冲分数增加的能量从一个值的$\sim$ 0.55在$\sim$ 2千电子伏附近的一个值的$\sim$ 0.75,但显示出在更高的能量减少的证据。在观测过程中过滤掉多个明亮的X射线爆发后,我们发现,相平均光谱从组合NuSTAR和XMM数据是很好地描述了吸收双黑体加幂律模型,没有证据的光谱转近$\sim$ 10千电子伏已在其他一些磁星。我们的数据使我们能够排除一个光谱turn-up类似于在磁星4U 0142+61和1 E 2259+586的$ΔΓ>= 2$,其中$ΔΓ$是软带和硬带光子指数之间的差异。没有一个显着的光谱turn-up是一致的,从一个特别活跃的子集的磁星具有高自旋推断的磁场,并与先前报道的趋势表明,光谱turn-up的程度与自旋下降率和/或自旋推断的磁场强度。

英文摘要:

We report on simultaneous NuSTAR and XMM-Newton observations of the magnetar 1E 1048.1$-$5937 obtained in July 2013, along with Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) data for the same source obtained from December 2002 through March 2012. The NuSTAR data provide a clear detection of this magnetar's persistent emission up to 20 keV. We detect a previously unreported small secondary peak in the average pulse profile in the 7-10 keV band, which grows to an amplitude comparable to that of the main peak in the 10--20 keV band. We show using RXTE data that this secondary peak is likely transient. We find that the pulsed fraction increases with energy from a value of $\sim$0.55 at $\sim$2 keV to a value of $\sim$0.75 near 8 keV but shows evidence for decreasing at higher energies. After filtering out multiple bright X-ray bursts during the observation, we find that the phase-averaged spectrum from combined NuSTAR and XMM data is well described by an absorbed double blackbody plus power-law model, with no evidence for the spectral turn-up near $\sim$10 keV as has been seen in some other magnetars. Our data allow us to rule out a spectral turn-up similar to those seen in magnetars 4U 0142+61 and 1E 2259+586 of $ΔΓ>= 2$, where $ΔΓ$ is the difference between the soft-band and hard-band photon indexes. The absence of a significant spectral turn-up is consistent with what has been observed from a particularly active subset of magnetars having high spin-inferred magnetic fields, and with previously reported trends suggesting the degree of spectral turn-up is correlated with spin-down rate and/or spin-inferred magnetic field strength.
