球状星团中X射线毫秒脉冲星的普查

A Census of X-ray Millisecond Pulsars in Globular Clusters

Jiaqi Zhao, Craig O. Heinke

摘要:

本文对29个银河系球状星团中的X射线毫秒双星(MSP)进行了全面的普查,其中包括68个已确认X射线亮度的MSP和107个具有X射线上限的MSP。我们汇编了以前GC MSP的X射线研究,并添加了在五个GC中发现的六个MSP(PSR J1326 $-$ 4728 A,J1326 $-$ 4728 B,J1518 $+$ 0204 C,J1717 $+$ 4308 A,J1737 $-$ 0314 A和J1807 $-$ 2459 A)的新分析。它们的X射线光谱可以用单个黑体模型、单个幂律模型或它们的组合来描述,X射线光度范围从1.9 $\times$ 10 $^{30}$ erg s $^{-1}$到8.3 $\times$ 10 $^{31}$ erg s $^{-1}$。我们发现,大多数检测到的X射线MSP具有介于$\sim 10^{30}$ erg s $^{-1}$和$3 \times 10^{31}$ erg s $^{-1}$之间的光度。赤背星是一个相对明亮的MSP群体,其X射线光度为$\sim2\times10^{31}$ -- $3\times10^{32}$ erg s $^{-1}$。黑寡妇在X射线光度中显示出双峰分布,在$\sim 7\times10^{30}$和$2\times10^{31}$ erg s $^{-1}$之间有遮蔽黑寡妇,而两个确认的非遮蔽黑寡妇要暗得多,$L_X$ of $1.5-3\times10^{30}$ erg s $^{-1}$,表明种群中存在内在差异。通过对36个GC中MSP数目与恒星相遇率的相关性的分析,我们估计了它们的总数目,并认为这36个GC中可能存在600--1500个MSP。最后,我们估计了银河系隆起中X射线可探测到的MSP的数量,发现在那里应该可以探测到1- 86个带有$L_X > 10^{33}$ erg s $^{-1}$的MSP和20- 900个带有$L_X > 10^{32}$ erg s $^{-1}$的MSP。

英文摘要:

We present a comprehensive census of X-ray millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in 29 Galactic globular clusters (GCs), including 68 MSPs with confirmed X-ray luminosities and 107 MSPs with X-ray upper limits. We compile previous X-ray studies of GC MSPs, and add new analyses of six MSPs (PSRs J1326$-$4728A, J1326$-$4728B, J1518$+$0204C, J1717$+$4308A, J1737$-$0314A, and J1807$-$2459A) discovered in five GCs. Their X-ray spectra are well described by a single blackbody model, a single power-law model, or a combination of them, with X-ray luminosities ranging from 1.9$\times$10$^{30}$ erg s$^{-1}$ to 8.3$\times$10$^{31}$ erg s$^{-1}$. We find that most detected X-ray MSPs have luminosities between $\sim 10^{30}$ erg s$^{-1}$ to $3 \times 10^{31}$ erg s$^{-1}$. Redback pulsars are a relatively bright MSP population with X-ray luminosities of $\sim2\times10^{31}$--$3\times10^{32}$ erg s$^{-1}$. Black widows show a bi-modal distribution in X-ray luminosities, with eclipsing black widows between $\sim 7\times10^{30}$ and $2\times10^{31}$ erg s$^{-1}$, while the two confirmed non-eclipsing black widows are much fainter, with $L_X$ of $1.5-3\times10^{30}$ erg s$^{-1}$, suggesting an intrinsic difference in the populations. We estimate the total number of MSPs in 36 GCs by considering the correlation between the number of MSPs and stellar encounter rate in GCs, and suggest that between 600--1500 MSPs exist in these 36 GCs. Finally, we estimate the number of X-ray detectable MSPs in the Galactic bulge, finding that 1--86 MSPs with $L_X > 10^{33}$ erg s$^{-1}$, and 20--900 MSPs with $L_X > 10^{32}$ erg s$^{-1}$, should be detectable there.
