英文摘要：

Recently, a 16-day periodicity in one fast radio burst is reported. We propose that this 16-day periodicity may be due to forced precession of the neutron star by a fallback disk. When the rotation axis is misaligned with the normal direction of the disk plane, the neutron star will precess. The eccentricity of the neutron star may be due to rotation or strong magnetic field etc. We found that the 16-day period may be understood using typical masses of the fallback disk. Polarization observations and information about the neutron star rotation period may help to discriminate different models. The possible precession observations in pulsars, magnetars, and fast radio bursts may be understood together using forced precession by a fallback disk.

Clues from 4U 0142+61 on supernova fallback disc formation and precession

The NuSTAR experiment detected a hard X-ray emission (10-70 keV) with a period of 8.68917 s and a pulse-phase modulation at 55 ks, or half this value, from the anomalous X-ray pulsar (AXP) 4U 0142+61. It is shown here that this evidence is naturally explained by the precession of a Keplerian supernova fallback disc surrounding this AXP. It is also found that the precession of discs formed around young neutron stars at distances larger than those considered in the past, may constitute almost neglected sources of gravitational waves with frequencies belonging to the sensitivity bands of the futu…

Preferential Accretion and Circumbinary Disk Precession in Eccentric Binary Systems

We present a suite of high resolution hydrodynamic simulations of binaries immersed in circumbinary accretion disks (CBDs). For the first time, we investigate the preferential accretion rate as a function of both eccentricity $e_{\rm b}$ and mass ratio $q_{\rm b}$ in a densely sampled parameter space, finding that when compared with circular binaries, mass ratios grow more efficiently in binaries on moderately eccentric orbits ($0.0 \lesssim e_{\rm b} \lesssim 0.4$), and high eccentricities ($e_{\rm b} \gtrsim 0.6 $) suppress mass ratio growth. We suggest that this non-monotonic preferential a…

Modeling of 35-day superorbital cycle of $B$ and $V$ light curves of IMXB HZ Her/Her X-1

The X-ray binary Her X-1 consists of an accreting neutron star and the optical component HZ Her. The 35-day X-ray superorbital variability of this system is known since its discovery in 1972 by the Uhuru satellite and is believed to be caused by forced precession of a warped accretion disk tilted to the orbital plane. We argue that the observed features of the 35-day optical variability of HZ Her can be explained by free precession of the neutron star with a period close to that of the forced disk. The model parameters include a) the X-ray luminosity of the neutron star; b) the optical flux fr…

Periodic fast radio bursts from forcedly precessing neutron stars, anomalous torque, and internal magnetic field for FRB 180916.J0158+65 and FRB 121102

A recent discovery of the periodic activity of the repeating fast radio burst source FRB 180916.J0158+65 in the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) hints at possible origin of the FRB from a freely precessing neutron star with a magnetar magnetic field of about $10^{16}$ G. However, the absence of simultaneously detected high-energy emission in the Swift and AGILE observations imposes stringent constraints on the field magnitude and questions the possibility of such a progenitor. We show that consideration of forced precession of a neutron star does not encounter the difficu…

Discussions on the nature of GLEAM-X J162759.5-523504.3

The nature of the long period radio transient GLEAM-X J162759.5$-$523504.3 (GLEAM-X J1627 for short) is discussed. We try to understand both its radio emission and pulsation in the neutron star scenario, as an alternative to the white dwarf model. We think that: (1) From the radio emission point of view, GLEAM-X J1627 can be a radio-loud magnetar. (2) From the rotational evolution point of view, GLEAM-X J1627 is unlikely to be an isolated magnetar. (3) The 1091s period is unlikely to be the precession period. (4) GLEAM-X J1627 may be a radio-loud magnetar spin-down by a fallback disk. (5) The …

Precession of triaxially deformed neutron stars

A deformed neutron star (NS) will precess if the instantaneous spin axis and the angular momentum are not aligned. Such a precession can produce continuous gravitational waves (GWs) and modulate electromagnetic pulse signals of pulsars. In this contribution we extend our previous work in a more convenient parameterization. We treat NSs as rigid triaxial bodies and give analytical solutions for angular velocities and Euler angles. We summarize the general GW waveforms from freely precessing triaxial NSs and use Taylor expansions to obtain waveforms with a small wobble angle. For pulsar signals,…

Precession of spheroids under Lorentz violation and observational consequences for neutron stars

The Standard-Model Extension (SME) is an effective-field-theoretic framework that catalogs all Lorentz-violating field operators. The anisotropic correction from the minimal gravitational SME to Newtonian gravitational energy for spheroids is studied, and the rotation of rigid spheroids is solved with perturbation method and numerical approach. The well-known forced precession solution given by Nordtvedt in the parameterized post-Newtonian formalism is recovered and applied to two observed solitary millisecond pulsars to set bounds on the coefficients for Lorentz violation in the SME framework…

Periodicity in recurrent fast radio bursts and the origin of ultra long period magnetars

The recurrent fast radio burst FRB 180916 was recently shown to exhibit a 16 day period (with possible aliasing) in its bursting activity. Given magnetars as widely considered FRB sources, this period has been attributed to precession of the magnetar spin axis or the orbit of a binary companion. Here, we make the simpler connection to a {\it rotational period}, an idea observationally motivated by the 6.7 hour period of the Galactic magnetar candidate, 1E 161348--5055. We explore three physical mechanisms that could lead to the creation of ultra long period magnetars: (i) enhanced spin-down du…

Emission Properties of Periodic Fast Radio Bursts from the Motion of Magnetars: Testing Dynamical Models

Recent observations of the periodic Fast Radio Burst source 180916.J0158+65 (FRB 180916) find small linear polarization position angle swings during and between bursts, with a burst activity window that becomes both narrower and earlier at higher frequencies. Although the observed chromatic activity window disfavors models of periodicity in FRB 180916 driven by the occultation of a neutron star by the optically-thick wind from a stellar companion, the connection to theories where periodicity arises from the motion of a bursting magnetar remains unclear. In this paper, we show how altitude-depe…

Finite, Intense Accretion Bursts from Tidal Disruption of Stars on Bound Orbits

We study accretion processes for tidally disrupted stars approaching supermassive black holes on bound orbits, by performing three dimensional Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics simulations with a pseudo-Newtonian potential. We find that there is a critical value of the orbital eccentricity below which all the stellar debris remains bound to the black hole. For high but sub-critical eccentricities, all the stellar mass is accreted onto the black hole in a finite time, causing a significant deviation from the canonical $t^{-5/3}$ mass fallback rate. When a star is on a moderately eccentric orbit a…
