慧眼-HXMT观测孤立脉冲星与吸积毫秒脉冲星的进展

The Isolated and Acrreting Millisecond Pulsars Observed by Insight-HXMT

  • 摘要: 慧眼HXMT (Insight-Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope)是中国第一颗空间X射线天文卫星, 其主要科学目标是研究黑洞、中子星等致密天体并监测伽马射线暴等剧烈爆发现象, 其中孤立X射线脉冲星与吸积毫秒X射线脉冲星也是慧眼HXMT的重要观测对象. 截至目前, 慧眼HXMT已经观测了7颗孤立脉冲星和5颗吸积毫秒脉冲星. 首先介绍利用慧眼HXMT的观测获得的蟹状星云脉冲星高精度脉冲轮廓和更宽能段的分相位能谱, 并得到了X射线能谱性质和谱参数随相位的演化特征; 进一步研究了该脉冲星周期跃变中的延迟加速特征以及周期跃变是否造成X射线辐射的变化; 并利用X射线脉冲星进行了定轨算法研究. 其次介绍了慧眼HXMT观测的5颗吸积毫秒脉冲星的爆发, 在爆发中观测到了硬X射线脉冲辐射, 并发现MAXI J1816–195自转加速并限制了星体磁场.

     

    Abstract: The Insight-HXMT (Insight Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope) is China's first space astronomical X-ray satellite, which could be utilized to study compact stellar objects such as black holes, neutron stars and violent eruptive phenomena, such as gamma-ray bursts and so on. Isolated X-ray pulsars and accreting millisecond pulsars are also important targets of Insight-HXMT. Seven isolated pulsars and five accreting millisecond pulsars have been observed according to the observation schedule. Through the observations made by Insight-HXMT, high-precision pulse profiles of the Crab pulsar and broader energy-phase spectra have been obtained, revealing the evolution characteristics of X-ray spectral properties and spectral parameters as function of phase. Additionally, the delay acceleration characteristics during the period jump of the pulsar and whether the period jump causes changes in X-ray radiation have been studied, along with research on orbit determination algorithms. The hard X-ray pulsations of MAXI J1816–195 are detected for accreting millisecond pulsars using Insight-HXMT observations, which could supply more constraints on the magnetosphere.
