中子星距离和速度的新认识

A new look at distances and velocities of neutron stars

Frank Verbunt, Eric Cator

摘要:

我们重新审视中子星距离和速度的确定。将视差测量转换为距离或距离概率分布,引发了一场与造父变星类似的争论,争论的焦点是在讨论单个系统时是否可以使用先验。以PSRJ 0218 +4232为例,我们证明了先验知识对于确定距离的概率分布是必要的。这颗脉冲星的距离意味着伽马射线的光度大于其自旋下降光度的10%。对于速度,争论的焦点是是否有一个麦克斯韦分布描述了年轻恒星的分布。通过限制我们的讨论准确(VLBI)的测量,我们认为,描述与两个麦克斯韦,分布参数σ 1 =77和σ 2 =320公里/秒,是显着更好。修正银河系的自转,得到相对于当地标准的静止速度,是微不足道的。

英文摘要:

We take a fresh look at the determination of distances and velocities of neutron stars. The conversion of a parallax measurement into a distance, or distance probability distribution, has led to a debate quite similar to the one involving Cepheids, centering on the question whether priors can be used when discussing a single system. With the example of PSRJ0218+4232 we show that a prior is necessary to determine the probability distribution for the distance. The distance of this pulsar implies a gamma-ray luminosity larger than 10% of its spindown luminosity. For velocities the debate is whether a single Maxwellian describes the distribution for young pulsars. By limiting our discussion to accurate (VLBI) measurements we argue that a description with two Maxwellians, with distribution parameters sigma1=77 and sigma2=320 km/s, is significantly better. Corrections for galactic rotation, to derive velocities with respect to the local standards of rest, are insignificant.
