摘要:

本文的目的是研究强磁化中子星在很低吸积率下向吸积区的转变。为此,我们监测Be瞬态X射线脉冲星GRO J1008-57在整个轨道周期。当前的观测活动是在2016年1月和9月连续两次I型爆发之间使用Swift/XRT望远镜在软X射线波段(0.5-10 keV)进行的。没有观察到预期的向螺旋桨状态的过渡。然而,不同制度的吸积之间的过渡被检测到。特别是在爆发后,源进入了一个稳定的吸积状态,其吸积速率为~10^14-10^15 g/s。我们将这种状态与温度低于~6500 K的冷(低电离)盘的吸积联系起来。我们认为,在一定的旋转频率和磁场强度的组合下,所有的X射线天体都应该观察到向这种吸积机制的转变。提出的冷盘吸积模型能够解释X射线双星的几个令人困惑的观测特性。

英文摘要:

The aim of this paper is to investigate the transition of a strongly magnetized neutron star into the accretion regime with very low accretion rate. For this purpose we monitored the Be-transient X-ray pulsar GRO J1008-57 throughout a full orbital cycle. The current observational campaign was performed with the Swift/XRT telescope in the soft X-ray band (0.5-10 keV) between two subsequent Type I outbursts in January and September 2016. The expected transition to the propeller regime was not observed. However, the transitions between different regimes of accretion were detected. In particular, after an outburst the source entered a stable accretion state characterised by the accretion rate of ~10^14-10^15 g/s. We associate this state with accretion from a cold (low-ionised) disc of temperature below ~6500 K. We argue that a transition to such accretion regime should be observed in all X-ray pulsars with certain combination of the rotation frequency and magnetic field strength. The proposed model of accretion from a cold disc is able to explain several puzzling observational properties of X-ray pulsars.
