摘要:

超新星1987 A自爆发之日起就受到密切监测,以研究其演化并探测其中心致密遗迹。事实上,从SN探测到的中微子有力地支持了中子星的形成。然而,除了在阿塔卡马大型毫米/亚毫米阵列(ALMA)数据中检测到与原脉冲星风星云(PWN)发射兼容的特征之外,存在这种难以捉摸的紧凑物体的唯一暗示是通过检测NuSTAR数据中高达~ 20 keV的硬发射提供的。我们报告的同时分析SN 1987 A的多历元观测与钱德拉,XMM-Newton和NuSTAR。我们还比较了观察与国家的最先进的3D磁流体动力学(MHD)模拟SN 1987 A。一个严重吸收的幂律,与嵌入SN 1987 A中心的PWN发射一致,需要正确描述观测光谱的高能部分。最佳拟合幂律的谱参数与以前的估计一致,并排除扩散激波加速作为一种可能的机制,负责观察到的非热发射。从我们的分析中提取的信息被用来推断脉冲星的物理特性和它的星云的宽带发射,与ALMA数据一致。对合成谱的分析还表明,在不久的将来,对Fe K发射线的主要贡献将来自SN 1987 A最外层的冲击喷出物。

英文摘要:

Since the day of its explosion, supernova (SN) 1987A has been closely monitored to study its evolution and to detect its central compact relic. In fact, the formation of a neutron star is strongly supported by the detection of neutrinos from the SN. However, besides the detection in the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) data of a feature that is compatible with the emission arising from a proto-pulsar wind nebula (PWN), the only hint for the existence of such elusive compact object is provided by the detection of hard emission in NuSTAR data up to ~ 20 keV. We report on the simultaneous analysis of multi-epoch observations of SN 1987A performed with Chandra, XMM-Newton and NuSTAR. We also compare the observations with a state-of-the-art 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation of SN 1987A. A heavily absorbed power-law, consistent with the emission from a PWN embedded in the heart of SN 1987A, is needed to properly describe the high-energy part of the observed spectra. The spectral parameters of the best-fit power-law are in agreement with the previous estimate, and exclude diffusive shock acceleration as a possible mechanism responsible for the observed non-thermal emission. The information extracted from our analysis are used to infer the physical characteristics of the pulsar and the broad-band emission of its nebula, in agreement with the ALMA data. Analysis of the synthetic spectra also show that, in the near future, the main contribution to Fe K emission line will originate in the outermost shocked ejecta of SN 1987A.
