摘要:

本文回顾了费米伽玛射线空间望远镜上的全天伽马射线暴监测器(GBM)对吸积X射线天体10多年的连续监测。我们的工作包括从2008年8月GBM运营开始到2019年11月的数据。用GBM观测到39个吸积双星在$10-50\,$ keV能量范围内的脉动。GBM吸积脉冲星计划(GAPP)对每个吸积脉冲星进行数据简化和分析,并公开提供脉冲频率和脉冲通量的历史。我们详细研究了GBM观测到的持久和瞬态X射线星的自旋历史、爆发和力矩行为。每个源的自旋周期的演变进行了分析的背景下,盘吸积和准球形沉降吸积驱动的扭矩模型。还分析了GBM任务寿命期间的长期脉冲频率历史,并将其与先前BATSE全天空监测任务中的脉冲频率历史进行比较,揭示了一些分析源中以前未注意到的事件(例如2S 1845-024中的扭矩反转)。我们获得新的,或更新已知的,轨道解三个来源。我们的研究结果表明,GBM作为一个很好的仪器监测吸积X射线天体的能力和重要的科学贡献,这一领域。

英文摘要:

We review more than 10 years of continuous monitoring of accreting X-ray pulsars with the all-sky Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) aboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Our work includes data from the start of GBM operations in August 2008, through to November 2019. Pulsations from 39 accreting pulsars are observed over an energy range of $10-50\,$keV by GBM. The GBM Accreting Pulsars Program (GAPP) performs data reduction and analysis for each accreting pulsar and makes histories of the pulse frequency and pulsed flux publicly available. We examine in detail the spin histories, outbursts and torque behaviors of the persistent and transient X-ray pulsars observed by GBM. The spin period evolution of each source is analyzed in the context of disk-accretion and quasi-spherical settling accretion driven torque models. Long-term pulse frequency histories are also analyzed over the GBM mission lifetime and compared to those available from the previous BATSE all-sky monitoring mission, revealing previously unnoticed episodes in some of the analyzed sources (such as a torque reversal in 2S 1845-024). We obtain new, or update known, orbital solutions for three sources. Our results demonstrate the capabilities of GBM as an excellent instrument for monitoring accreting X-ray pulsars and its important scientific contribution to this field.
