摘要:

我们报告了对大质量毫秒脉冲星PSR J 0740 +6620的半径、质量和热表面区域的修正分析,Riley等人(2021)和Miller等人(2021)先前对NICER和XMM-牛顿数据进行了联合拟合。我们对脉冲轮廓模型参数进行类似的贝叶斯估计,除了同时拟合XMM-牛顿数据之外,我们使用最佳的NICER背景估计来约束从源检测到的光子数量。这种方法消除了这两种仪器之间交叉校准的任何潜在问题,从而提供了对分析鲁棒性的独立检查。得到的中子星参数约束与已经发表的结果是兼容的,与施加的背景限制是多么保守的轻微的依赖。较紧的下限会导致推断半径增加,而较紧的上限会导致推断半径减小。我们还扩展了推断的发射几何的研究,以检查从antipodality的热区的偏离程度。我们发现,有一个显着的偏移对映点配置,主要是由于非半周期的两个发射点的方位角分离。从对极的偏移角度推断为大于25度,概率为84%。这似乎排除了PSR J 0740 +6620中的中心偶极磁场。

英文摘要:

We report a revised analysis for the radius, mass, and hot surface regions of the massive millisecond pulsar PSR J0740+6620, studied previously with joint fits to NICER and XMM-Newton data by Riley et al. (2021) and Miller et al. (2021). We perform a similar Bayesian estimation for the pulse-profile model parameters, except that instead of fitting simultaneously the XMM-Newton data, we use the best available NICER background estimates to constrain the number of photons detected from the source. This approach eliminates any potential issues in the cross-calibration between these two instruments, providing thus an independent check of the robustness of the analysis. The obtained neutron star parameter constraints are compatible with the already published results, with a slight dependence on how conservative the imposed background limits are. A tighter lower limit causes the inferred radius to increase, and a tighter upper limit causes it to decrease. We also extend the study of the inferred emission geometry to examine the degree of deviation from antipodality of the hot regions. We show that there is a significant offset to an antipodal spot configuration, mainly due to the non-half-cycle azimuthal separation of the two emitting spots. The offset angle from the antipode is inferred to be above 25 degrees with 84% probability. This seems to exclude a centered-dipolar magnetic field in PSR J0740+6620.
