AI总结:

本文基于 MeerKAT 三年观测为九颗小麦哲伦云脉冲星建立新计时解,发现三颗年轻脉冲星发生自转突跳,并确认其中两颗与脉冲星风云及超新星遗迹的关联,使已测特征的 SMC 射电脉冲星数量翻倍。

摘要:

我们报告了利用 MeerKAT 和 Murriyang 望远镜对九颗小麦哲伦云脉冲星进行的为期三年的观测活动所获得的新射电计时解,使已测特征的旋转供能河外脉冲星数量增加了 40%。从我们确定的参数可以推断,这些脉冲星似乎全部是孤立的,其中六颗是普通脉冲星,而 MeerKAT 最近发现的三颗具有低于 100 kyr 的年轻特征年龄,并且经历过一次自转加速突跳。其中两个源,PSR J0040$-$7337 和 J0048$-$7317,是自转减慢光度约为 10$^{36}$ erg s$^{-1}$ 的高能年轻脉冲星。它们都经历了一次大突跳,频率变化约为 30 $μ$Hz,频率导数变化量级为 $-10^{-14}$ Hz s$^{-1}$。这些突跳、推断出的突跳率以及这些脉冲星的特性(包括可能较高的突跳间制动指数)表明,这些中子星可能是类似 Vela 的重复突跳源,未来应予以密切监测。PSR J0048$-$7317 的位置和能量特性证实它正在驱动一个新的脉冲星风云(PWN),该 PWN 被探测为一个射电连续谱源;类似地,PSR J0040$-$7337 与超新星遗迹(SNR)DEM S5 的脉冲星风云之间的关联也得到了加强(我们为此提供了一幅新的 Chandra 图像)。最后,PSR J0040$-$7335 也位于同一超新星遗迹内,但只是偶然的视线重合。它也被观测到发生突跳,频率变化为 $10^{-2}$ $μ$Hz。这项工作使已测特征的小麦哲伦云射电脉冲星数量增加了一倍以上。

英文摘要:

We report new radio timing solutions from a three-year observing campaign conducted with the MeerKAT and Murriyang telescopes for nine Small Magellanic Cloud pulsars, increasing the number of characterised rotation-powered extragalactic pulsars by 40 per cent. We can infer from our determined parameters that the pulsars are seemingly all isolated, that six are ordinary pulsars, and that three of the recent MeerKAT discoveries have a young characteristic age of under 100 kyr and have undergone a spin-up glitch. Two of the sources, PSRs J0040$-$7337 and J0048$-$7317, are energetic young pulsars with spin-down luminosities of the order of 10$^{36}$ erg s$^{-1}$. They both experienced a large glitch, with a change in frequency of about 30 $μ$Hz, and a frequency derivative change of order $-10^{-14}$ Hz s$^{-1}$. These glitches, the inferred glitch rate, and the properties of these pulsars (including potentially high inter-glitch braking indices) suggest these neutron stars might be Vela-like repeating glitchers and should be closely monitored in the future. The position and energetics of PSR J0048$-$7317 confirm it is powering a new Pulsar Wind Nebula (PWN) detected as a radio continuum source; and similarly the association of PSR J0040$-$7337 with the PWN of Supernova Remnant (SNR) DEM S5 (for which we present a new Chandra image) is strengthened. Finally, PSR J0040$-$7335 is also contained within the same SNR but is a chance superposition. It has also been seen to glitch with a change of frequency of $10^{-2}$ $μ$Hz. This work more than doubles the characterised population of SMC radio pulsars.
