摘要:

1 RXS J 180408.9 -342058是一颗短暂的中子星,低质量X射线双星,在2015年表现出明亮的吸积爆发。我们目前的Nustar,斯威夫特,钱德拉观测获得的峰值周围的爆发。该源处于软X射线光谱状态,显示出X射线亮度为Lx~(2-3)E37(D/5.8 kpc)^2 erg cm-2(0.5-10 keV)。Nustar的数据揭示了一个广泛的Fe-K发射线,我们的模型作为相对论加宽的反射约束吸积几何。我们发现吸积盘的倾角为i~27-35度,并延伸到中子星附近,下降到Rin~5-7.5引力半径(~11-17 km)。这个内盘半径表明中子星的磁场强度是B<2 E8 G。我们发现一个狭窄的吸收线在钱德拉/HEG数据在~7.64 keV的能量与~4.8西格玛的意义。这一特征可能与蓝移的Fe xxvi相对应,并来自于吸积盘风,这意味着外流速度为v~ 0.086 c(~25800 km s-1)。然而,这对于一颗X射线双星来说是极端的,而且我们还不清楚在我们从反射分析中推断出的低倾角下是否可以看到盘风。最后,我们讨论了1 RXS J180408.9-342058的X射线和光学性质是如何与相对较小的(Porb<3 hr)双星轨道相一致的。

英文摘要:

1RXS J180408.9-342058 is a transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary that exhibited a bright accretion outburst in 2015. We present Nustar, Swift, and Chandra observations obtained around the peak of this outburst. The source was in a soft X-ray spectral state and displayed an X-ray luminosity of Lx~(2-3)E37 (D/5.8 kpc)^2 erg cm-2 (0.5-10 keV). The Nustar data reveal a broad Fe-K emission line that we model as relativistically broadened reflection to constrain the accretion geometry. We found that the accretion disk is viewed at an inclination of i~27-35 degrees and extended close to the neutron star, down to Rin~5-7.5 gravitational radii (~11-17 km). This inner disk radius suggests that the neutron star magnetic field strength is B<2E8 G. We find a narrow absorption line in the Chandra/HEG data at an energy of ~7.64 keV with a significance of ~4.8 sigma. This feature could correspond to blue-shifted Fe xxvi and arise from an accretion disk wind, which would imply an outflow velocity of v~0.086c (~25800 km s-1). However, this would be extreme for an X-ray binary and it is unclear if a disk wind should be visible at the low inclination angle that we infer from our reflection analysis. Finally, we discuss how the X-ray and optical properties of 1RXS J180408.9-342058 are consistent with a relatively small (Porb<3 hr) binary orbit.
