摘要:
我们利用哈勃空间望远镜(HST)在UVOIR波长范围(0.14-1.7μm)对孤立中子星RX J2143.0+0654进行了观测。紫外部分与热光谱的Rayleigh-Jeans尾部(f_ν∝ν²)一致,而近红外-光学部分则由幂律光谱(f_ν∝ν^α,α≈-0.8)主导。将UVOIR与同时期X射线光谱联合拟合,考虑双组件黑体加可能的吸收特征+幂律光学光谱,得到冷组件的温度和表观半径(在紫外部分贡献最大):kT_cold≈45eV,R_cold≈6d_260km,其中d_260是距离单位为260pc。热组件的温度和半径、吸收特征在0.74keV处的参数以及X射线脉动的性质与之前的X射线观测结果相同。在近红外图像中,中子星可能被扩展发射包围,特征大小约为2'',在1.54μm和1.15μm处的流量密度分别为约1.7和0.9μJy。与14年前的HST观测相比,发现自行μ≈6mas/yr,对应小的横向速度7d_260km/s。这与中子星约0.5Myr前在太阳系附近诞生的假说一致。
英文摘要:
We observed the isolated neutron star RX J2143.0+0654 with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in the UVOIR wavelength range (0.14-1.7 $μ$m). The UV part is consistent with a Rayleigh-Jeans tail of a thermal spectrum, $f_ν\propto ν^2$, while a power-law spectrum, $f_ν\propto ν^α$ with $α\sim -0.8$, dominates in the NIR-optical. A joint fit of the UVOIR and contemporaneous X-ray spectra with a two-component blackbody with possible absorption features + power-law optical spectrum yields the following temperature and apparent radius of the colder component (which gives the main contribution in the UV): $kT_{\rm cold}\approx 45$ eV, $R_{\rm cold}\approx 6 d_{260}$ km, where $d_{260}$ is the distance in units of 260 pc. The temperature and radius of the hotter component, $kT_{\rm hot}\approx 106$ eV and $R_{\rm hot} \approx 1.5d_{260}$ km, the parameters of an absorption feature at 0.74 keV, and the properties of X-ray pulsations, are the same as found in previous X-ray observations. In the NIR images the neutron star is possibly surrounded by extended emission with a characteristic size of $\sim 2''$ and flux densities of about 1.7 and 0.9 $μ$Jy at 1.54 and 1.15 $μ$m, respectively. Comparison with a previous HST observation in the optical 14 years ago shows a proper motion $μ\approx 6$ mas yr$^{-1}$, which corresponds to a small transverse velocity of $7d_{260}$ km s$^{-1}$. It is consistent with the hypothesis that the neutron star was born in the vicinity of the solar system about 0.5 Myr ago.
