摘要:

脉冲星风星云是由相对论电子和正电子的流出物在冲击波前沿撞击周围的超新星遗迹或星际介质而形成的。船帆座脉冲星风星云由一颗年轻的脉冲星(B 0833 -45,年龄11 kyr)提供动力,位于一个名为船帆座X的扩展结构内,该结构本身位于超新星遗迹内。之前的X射线观察显示了两个明显的弧线,被喷流和反喷流一分为二。射电图显示,在星云的外部区域有60%的高线性偏振。在这里,我们报告的X射线观测星云的内部,其中偏振可以超过60%的前沿,这接近理论极限的同步辐射可以产生什么。我们推断,与超新星遗迹的情况相反,脉冲星风星云中的电子在高度均匀的磁场中被加速,几乎没有湍流。

英文摘要:

Pulsar wind nebulae are formed when outflows of relativistic electrons and positrons hit the surrounding supernova remnant or interstellar medium at a shock front. The Vela pulsar wind nebula is powered by a young pulsar (B0833-45, age 11 kyr) and located inside an extended structure called Vela X, itself inside the supernova remnant. Previous X-ray observations revealed two prominent arcs, bisected by a jet and counter jet. Radio maps have shown high linear polarization of 60 per cent in the outer regions of the nebula. Here we report X-ray observation of the inner part of the nebula, where polarization can exceed 60 per cent at the leading edge, which approaches the theoretical limit of what can be produced by synchrotron emission. We infer that, in contrast with the case of the supernova remnant, the electrons in the pulsar wind nebula are accelerated with little or no turbulence in a highly uniform magnetic field.
