摘要:

由于其巨大而致密的核心,泰山5号拥有银河系球状星团中最丰富的毫秒级恒星。在这里,我们报告了新的深$2-8\,$ GHz的无线电连续观测Terzan1,5获得的卡尔G。Jansky甚大阵。我们已经确定了在星团半光半径范围内的24个源,包括17个在核心半径范围内的源。其中19颗与先前研究的毫秒双星和X射线双星有关。其中三个新的射电源具有陡峭的无线电频谱,并且位于星团核心内,正如对毫秒射电星的预期。这三个源具有硬X射线光子指数($Γ=1.3-1.5$)和高度可变的X射线发射,表明它们是属于蜘蛛类的二进制毫秒双星。对于这些来源中最亮的X射线,红背蜘蛛的分类是由其X射线光曲线证实的,它显示了12.32小时的轨道周期和X射线最大值附近的双峰结构。在像Terzan 5这样经过充分研究的星团中可能发现明亮的双毫秒双星,这突出了深度射电连续成像如何补充脉冲星搜索和计时观测,以寻找可能的日食系统。另一个新的射电源在核心有一个平坦的无线电频谱,是X射线微弱($L_X \approx 2\times 10^{31}$ erg s $^{-1}$)与光子指数$Γ=2.1\pm0.5$,符合预期的性质为一个静止的恒星质量的黑洞X射线双星。

英文摘要:

Owing to its massive, dense core, Terzan 5 has the richest population of millisecond pulsars known among Galactic globular clusters. Here we report new deep $2-8\,$GHz radio continuum observations of Terzan\,5 obtained with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array. We have identified a total of 24 sources within the cluster half-light radius, including 17 within the core radius. 19 are associated with previously studied millisecond pulsars and X-ray binaries. Three of the new radio sources have steep radio spectra and are located within the cluster core, as expected for millisecond pulsars. These three sources have hard X-ray photon indices ($Γ=1.3-1.5$) and highly variable X-ray emission, suggesting they are binary millisecond pulsars belonging to the spider class. For the most X-ray luminous of these sources, the redback spider classification is confirmed by its X-ray light curve, which shows an orbital period of 12.32 hr and double peaked structure around X-ray maximum. The likely discovery of bright binary millisecond pulsars in a well-studied cluster like Terzan 5 highlights how deep radio continuum imaging can complement pulsar search and timing observations in finding probable eclipsing systems. The other new radio source in the core has a flat radio spectrum and is X-ray faint ($L_X \approx 2\times 10^{31}$ erg s$^{-1}$) with a photon index $Γ=2.1\pm0.5$, consistent with the properties expected for a quiescent stellar-mass black hole X-ray binary.
