摘要:

本文给出了对慢转($P = 3.4$ s)、高磁化($B \approx 3 \times 10^{13}$ G)射电脉冲星PSR J 0726 -2612的XMM-牛顿观测结果。钱德拉卫星先前的X射线观测表明,PSR J 0726 -2612的一些性质与X射线昏暗孤立中子星(XDINS)相似,XDINS是一小类附近的慢中子星,其特征是纯热X射线光谱,在无线电波段无法检测到。我们确认PSR J 0726 -2612的X射线发射的热性质,这可以通过两个黑体的温度$kT_1 = 0.074_{-0.011}^{+0.006}$ keV和$kT_2 = 0.14_{-0.02}^{+0.04}$ keV和发射半径分别为$R_1 = 10.4_{-2.8}^{+10.8}$ km和$R_2 = 0.5_{-0.3}^{+0.9}$ km的总和来拟合(假设距离为1 kpc)。在拟合中需要使用以$0.39_{-0.03}^{+0.02}$ keV为中心的高斯分布建模的宽吸收线。PSR J 0726 -2612的脉冲轮廓的特征在于具有由两个不相等的最小值分开的相似强度的两个峰、在不引起X射线发射的磁射束的情况下不能再现的形状和脉冲分数。单个无线电脉冲的存在表明,在PSR J 0726 -2612中,偶极轴和视线分别与旋转轴$ξ$和$χ$形成的角度是相似的。这种几何结构不同于两个无线电静默XDIN,其具有类似于PSR J 0726 -2612的双峰脉冲轮廓,最近已估计了PSR J 0726 -2612的$ξ\sim 90^\circ$和$χ\sim 45^\circ$。这些结果加强了PSR J 0726 -2612和XDINS之间的相似性,并支持后者缺乏无线电发射可能仅仅是由于不利的观察几何形状的可能性。

英文摘要:

We present the results of an XMM-Newton observation of the slowly rotating ($P = 3.4$ s), highly magnetized ($B \approx 3 \times 10^{13}$ G) radio pulsar PSR J0726-2612. A previous X-ray observation with the Chandra satellite showed that some of the properties of PSR J0726-2612 are similar to those of the X-ray Dim Isolated Neutron Stars (XDINSs), a small class of nearby slow pulsars characterized by purely thermal X-ray spectra and undetected in the radio band. We confirm the thermal nature of the X-ray emission of PSR J0726-2612, which can be fit by the sum of two blackbodies with temperatures $kT_1 = 0.074_{-0.011}^{+0.006}$ keV and $kT_2 = 0.14_{-0.02}^{+0.04}$ keV and emitting radii $R_1 = 10.4_{-2.8}^{+10.8}$ km and $R_2 = 0.5_{-0.3}^{+0.9}$ km, respectively (assuming a distance of 1 kpc). A broad absorption line modeled with a Gaussian profile centred at $0.39_{-0.03}^{+0.02}$ keV is required in the fit. The pulse profile of PSR J0726-2612 is characterized by two peaks with similar intensity separated by two unequal minima, a shape and pulsed fraction that cannot be reproduced without invoking magnetic beaming of the X-ray emission. The presence of a single radio pulse suggests that in PSR J0726-2612 the angles that the dipole axis and the line of sight make with the rotation axis, $ξ$ and $χ$ respectively, are similar. This geometry differs from that of the two radio-silent XDINSs with a double peaked pulse profile similar to that of PSR J0726-2612, for which $ξ\sim 90^\circ$ and $χ\sim 45^\circ$ have been recently estimated. These results strengthen the similarity between PSR J0726-2612 and the XDINSs and support the possibility that the lack of radio emission from the latter might simply be due to an unfavourable viewing geometry.
