研究发现Swift J0243.6+6124在亚埃达ington状态下存在新的能谱跃迁,通过多极磁场配置解释其磁极主导的发射特性。

摘要:

我们利用Insight-HXMT和NICER观测数据,对银河系超亮X射线脉冲星Swift J0243.6+6124在亚埃达ington状态下进行了详细的能谱分析,包括2018年巨大耀斑在内的多次耀斑观测。我们发现了一个新的跃迁点,其跃迁亮度约为$4.5 \times 10^{37}\ {\rm erg\ s^{-1}}$,伴随谱参数的系统性演变,特别是黑体归一化值的显著转折。在亚埃达ington状态下发现的这一跃迁亮度代表了目前为止在Swift J0243.6+6124中发现的第五个跃迁,进一步突显了其吸积驱动发射的复杂性。我们从多极磁场配置的角度解释了这一跃迁,其中弱($\sim 2.8 \times 10^{12}\ {\rm G}$)和强($\sim 1.6 \times 10^{13}\ {\rm G}$)磁极在不同吸积率下主导发射。在磁层尺度上,这种配置相当于一个有效的偶极磁场$\sim 6.6 \times 10^{12}\ {\rm G}$,同时允许局部表面磁场超过$10^{13}\ {\rm G}$。

英文摘要:

We conduct a detailed spectral analysis of the Galactic ultraluminous X-ray pulsar Swift J0243.6+6124 in its sub-Eddington regime, using Insight-HXMT and NICER observations during multiple outbursts including the 2018 giant outburst. We discover a new transition at $L_{\rm t} \approx 4.5 \times 10^{37}\ {\rm erg\ s^{-1}}$, accompanied by systematic evolution of spectral parameters, in particular a significant turnover in the blackbody normalization. This transition luminosity in the sub-Eddington regime represents the fifth transition identified so far in Swift J0243.6+6124, further highlighting the complexity of its accretion-powered emission. We interpret the transition in terms of a multipolar magnetic-field configuration, where weak ($\sim 2.8 \times 10^{12}\ {\rm G}$) and strong ($\sim 1.6 \times 10^{13}\ {\rm G}$) magnetic poles dominate the emission at different accretion rates. On the magnetospheric scale, this configuration is equivalent to an effective dipole field of $\sim 6.6 \times 10^{12}\ {\rm G}$, while allowing the local surface field to exceed $10^{13}\ {\rm G}$.
