摘要:

在双星系统中,吸积的高磁化双星是银河系中最亮的X射线发射体。虽然有一些高统计质量的宽带(0.1-100 keV)X射线观测,这些来源的光谱能量分布通常是采用纯现象学模型,而不是与吸积物理模型研究。本文利用BeppoSAX和Suzaku+NuStar数据,结合改进的compmag模型,对高质量X射线双星Cen X-3、4U 0115+63和Her X-1的X射线辐射进行了详细的光谱研究。后者提供了一个物理描述的高能量发射的吸积中子星,包括热和体康普顿的回旋和韧致辐射种子光子沿中子星吸积柱。compmag模型基于求解二阶偏微分方程的迭代方法,其收敛算法在本文的编写过程中得到了改进和巩固。我们的分析表明,宽带X射线连续的所有考虑源可以自洽地描述的compmag模型。回旋吸收的功能,不包括在模型中,可以占使用高斯分量。根据compmag模型与数据的拟合,我们推断出所有来源的吸积柱的物理性质,发现值合理地接近于根据我们目前对高磁化中子星吸积的理解而理论上预期的值。更新版本的compmag模型已被定制的物理过程中发生的高度磁化吸积中子星的列,因此,它可以提供一个更好的理解,从这些来源的高能辐射。

英文摘要:

Accreting highly magnetized pulsars in binary systems are among the brightest X-ray emitters in our Galaxy. Although a number of high statistical quality broad-band (0.1-100 keV) X-ray observations are available, the spectral energy distribution of these sources is usually investigated by adopting pure phenomenological models, rather than models linked to the physics of accretion. In this paper, a detailed spectral study of the X-ray emission recorded from the high-mass X-ray binary pulsars Cen X-3, 4U 0115+63, and Her X-1 is carried out by using BeppoSAX and joined Suzaku+NuStar data, together with an advanced version of the compmag model. The latter provides a physical description of the high energy emission from accreting pulsars, including the thermal and bulk Comptonization of cyclotron and bremsstrahlung seed photons along the neutron star accretion column. The compmag model is based on an iterative method for solving second-order partial differential equations, whose convergence algorithm has been improved and consolidated during the preparation of this paper. Our analysis shows that the broad-band X-ray continuum of all considered sources can be self-consistently described by the compmag model. The cyclotron absorption features, not included in the model, can be accounted for by using Gaussian components. From the fits of the compmag model to the data we inferred the physical properties of the accretion columns in all sources, finding values reasonably close to those theoretically expected according to our current understanding of accretion in highly magnetized neutron stars. The updated version of the compmag model has been tailored to the physical processes that are known to occur in the columns of highly magnetized accreting neutron stars and it can thus provide a better understanding of the high energy radiation from these sources.
