摘要:

基于$XMM$和$NuSTAR$的相位分辨宽带光谱,我们报道了新近发现的ULX脉冲星NGC 300 ULX 1的脉冲谱中$E \sim 13$ keV的一个潜在的回旋共振散射特征.如果这个解释是正确的,那么中央中子星的隐含磁场是$B \sim 10^{12}$ G(假设电子被散射),类似于从观测到的恒星自旋上升估计的磁场,也类似于已知的银河系X射线双星。我们讨论了这一结果对NGC 300 ULX 1和其他已知ULX星之间联系的影响,特别是最近在另一个ULX,M51 ULX-8中发现的可能的质子回旋加速器线。

英文摘要:

Based on phase-resolved broadband spectroscopy using $XMM$-$Newton$ and $NuSTAR$, we report on a potential cyclotron resonant scattering feature at $E \sim 13$ keV in the pulsed spectrum of the recently discoverd ULX pulsar NGC 300 ULX1. If this interpretation is correct, the implied magnetic field of the central neutron star is $B \sim 10^{12}$ G (assuming scattering off electrons), similar to that estimated from the observed spin-up of the star, and also similar to known Galactic X-ray pulsars. We discuss the implications of this result for the connection between NGC 300 ULX1 and the other known ULX pulsars, particularly in light of the recent discovery of a likely proton Cyclotron line in another ULX, M51 ULX-8.
