摘要:

我们报告了在极高亮度X射线源NGC 5907 ULX 1($L_{\rm{X,peak}}\sim5\times10^{40}$ erg s $^{-1}$)的X射线光变曲线中探测到$78.1\pm0.5$日周期,这是在与Swift进行的一项广泛的监测计划中发现的。这些周期性的变化是强大的,与观测到的流量变化的$\sim$ 3-4之间的周期的波峰和波谷的一个因素,我们的模拟表明,所观察到的周期性检测舒适超过3 $σ$的意义。我们讨论了这个X射线周期的可能起源,但得出的结论是,在目前的时间,我们不能鲁棒地区分轨道和超轨道的变化。

英文摘要:

We report the detection of a $78.1\pm0.5$ day period in the X-ray lightcurve of the extreme ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 5907 ULX1 ($L_{\rm{X,peak}}\sim5\times10^{40}$ erg s$^{-1}$), discovered during an extensive monitoring program with Swift. These periodic variations are strong, with the observed flux changing by a factor of $\sim$3-4 between the peaks and the troughs of the cycle; our simulations suggest that the observed periodicity is detected comfortably in excess of 3$σ$ significance. We discuss possible origins for this X-ray period, but conclude that at the current time we cannot robustly distinguish between orbital and super-orbital variations.
