2003-2018用INTEGRAL SPI监测蟹状星云的硬X射线偏振

2003-2018 Monitoring of the Crab Nebula Polarization in hard X-rays with INTEGRAL SPI

E. Jourdain, J. P. Roques

摘要:

我们分析了16年的观测致力于螃蟹(脉冲星+星云)与积分SPI仪器,以研究其偏振特性。我们发现,源提出了一个基本上偏振的发射(PF = 24%)在硬X射线域,与电矢量对准的脉冲星自旋轴,在协议与其他结果在不同的波长。偏振特性随能量的稳定性和数据所涵盖的16年是显着的,完成了光谱域中的源的标准烛光状态。偏振测量表明,同步辐射是从射电到硬X射线光子产生的主要机制。高水平的极化发射指出了源的稳定性,特别是磁场配置和几何形状。

英文摘要:

We have analyzed 16 years of observations dedicated to the Crab (pulsar + nebula) with the INTEGRAL SPI instrument to investigate its polarization properties. We find that the source presents a substantially polarized emission (PF = 24%) in the hard X-ray domain, with the electric vector aligned with the pulsar spin axis, in agreement with other results at various wavelengths. The stability of the polarization characteristics with energy and over the 16 years covered by the data is remarkable, completing the standard candle status of the source in the spectral domain. The polarization measurements imply that the synchrotron emission is the dominant mechanism of photon production from radio to hard X-rays. The high level of polarized emission points out the steadiness of the source, in particular of the magnetic field configuration and geometry.
