摘要:

很长一段时间以来,XMMU J010331.7-730144被认为是一个高质量的X射线双星候选者,这是基于它的X射线特性,然而,它的光学行为并不清楚-特别是以前的观测没有揭示关键的巴耳末发射线。在本文中,我们报告的光学和X射线可变性的系统。XMMU J010331.7-730144在过去的9年里一直在I和V波段用光学引力透镜实验(OGLE)进行监测,在那里它显示出由长时间低水平通量分隔的极大振幅爆发。在其最近的光学爆发期间,我们获得了南部非洲大望远镜(SALT)的光谱,其中第一次在发射中看到H-α线,证实了光学伴星的Be性质。OGLE的颜色星等图也表现出一个明显的循环,这是解释的变化,质量损失的Be星和质量外流在其光盘。在X射线中,XMMU J010331.7-730144已经由尼尔·盖尔斯·斯威夫特天文台通过S-CUBED计划进行监测。整个监测活动的X射线通量显示出一个典型的Be/X射线二元系统相对较低的值。我们表明,从光学数据的分析,变异是由于被光盘密度和不透明度的变化,而不是其物理范围作为一个有效的截断NS的结果。相对较低的X射线通量可以解释为中子星通常以较低的速率吸积物质,这是由于Be盘的径向范围很小。

英文摘要:

For a long time XMMU J010331.7-730144 was proposed as a high-mass X-ray binary candidate based on its X-ray properties, however, its optical behaviour was unclear - in particular previous observations did not reveal key Balmer emission lines. In this paper we report on optical and X-ray variability of the system. XMMU J010331.7-730144 has been monitored with the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) in the I and V-bands for the past 9 years where it has shown extremely large amplitude outbursts separated by long periods of low-level flux. During its most recent optical outburst we obtained spectra with the Southern Africa Large Telescope (SALT) where, for the first time, the H-alpha line is seen in emission, confirming the Be nature of the optical companion. The OGLE colour-magnitude diagrams also exhibit a distinct loop which is explained by changes in mass-loss from the Be star and mass outflow in its disc. In the X-rays, XMMU J010331.7-730144 has been monitored by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory through the S-CUBED programme. The X-ray flux throughout the monitoring campaign shows relatively low values for a typical Be/X-ray binary system. We show, from the analysis of the optical data, that the variability is due to the Be disc density and opacity changing rather than its physical extent as a result of efficient truncation by the NS. The relatively low X-ray flux can then be explained by the neutron star normally accreting matter at a low rate due to the small radial extent of the Be disc.
