摘要:

我们报告的5个类型-1热核X射线爆发的检测和一个爆发的中子星LMXB源,天鹅座X-2使用的X射线数据获得的大面积X射线正比计数器(LAXPC)仪器上AstroSat。我们进行了能量分辨的突发轮廓分析,以及时间分辨的频谱分析,为每个突发和表征其属性。所有爆发都很弱,爆发峰值与持续强度比$<$ 3,衰减时间$\sim$ 2 s,能量密度$\sim$ 1 $\times$ 10 $^{-8}$尔格/cm $^2$,表明观察到的爆发是氦燃料闪光。在每次爆发过程中也观察到黑体温度和半径的演变。我们对突发振荡(BO)进行搜索,并推导出BO(对于所有突发)的均方根分数幅度上限为$\sim$ 1\%。我们还进行了搜索的准周期振荡(QPO)的功率密度谱,我们得到的分数均方根振幅的上限为$\sim$ 3.4\%,在频率接近$\sim$ 5.6 Hz。我们进一步进行光谱和定时分析的非突发持续发射,随着硬度强度和颜色的颜色图的研究。利用我们的分析结果,我们推断,在2016年的这次观测中,天鹅座X-2可以被描述为处于早期的耀斑分支(FB),具有膨胀的吸积盘和cluerous日冕结构,同时经历中等到高水平的吸积。

英文摘要:

We report the detection of 5 Type-1 thermonuclear X-ray bursts and one burst-like event in the neutron star LMXB source, Cyg X-2 using X-ray data obtained with the Large Area X-ray Proportional Counter (LAXPC) instrument on board AstroSat. We carry out an energy resolved burst profile analysis as well as time resolved spectral analysis for each of the bursts and characterize their properties. All bursts are weak with burst peak-to-persistent intensity ratios $<$ 3, decay times $\sim$2 s, and with fluences $\sim$1$\times$10$^{-8}$ ergs/cm$^2$, indicating that the observed bursts are Helium fuelled flashes. An evolution of the blackbody temperature and radius is also observed during each burst. We carry out a search for Burst Oscillations (BO) and derive upper limits to the rms fractional amplitude for BO (for all the bursts) to be $\sim$1\%. We also carried out search for Quasi Periodic Oscillations (QPOs) in the power density spectra and we obtain upper limits to the fractional rms amplitude as $\sim$3.4\% at frequencies close to $\sim$5.6 Hz. We further carry out spectral and timing analysis of the non-burst persistent emission along with a study of the hardness-intensity and colour-colour diagrams. Using results from our analysis we infer that during this observation in 2016, Cyg X-2 can be characterized as being in the early Flaring Branch (FB) with a puffed up accretion disk and a clumpy coronal structure while undergoing medium-to-high levels of accretion.
