摘要:

我们报告一个可能的检测到一个55天的X射线调制的超铝吸积脉冲星M82 X-2从档案钱德拉观测。由于已知M82 X-2的轨道周期为2.5天,如果55天的周期是真实的,那么它就是该系统的超轨道周期。我们还研究了其他三个附近的超亮X射线源在M82的中心区域与钱德拉数据的变化,并没有发现任何证据的周期性。此外,我们重新审查了以前报告的62天周期附近的中心区域的M82通过执行系统的定时研究与所有档案罗西X射线定时探测器和雨燕数据。利用各种动力学时间分析方法,我们证实62天周期是不稳定的,这表明它不是与以前的工作一致的M82 X-1的轨道周期。

英文摘要:

We report a possible detection of a 55-day X-ray modulation for the ultraluminous accreting pulsar M82 X-2 from archival Chandra observations. Because M82 X-2 is known to have a 2.5-day orbital period, if the 55-day period is real, it will be the superorbital period of the system. We also investigated variabilities of other three nearby ultraluminous X-ray sources in the central region of M82 with the Chandra data and did not find any evidence of periodicities. Furthermore, we re-examined the previously reported 62-day periodicity near the central region of M82 by performing a systematic timing study with all the archival Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer and Swift data. Using various dynamic timing analysis methods, we confirmed that the 62-day period is not stable, suggesting that it is not the orbital period of M82 X-1 in agreement with previous work.
