本研究了中子星的热演化,自转演化和磁场演化的相互影响,考虑了一个自洽模型,中子星因磁偶极辐射而自转减慢,在内部产生某些加热过程,中子星磁场通过壳层的欧姆耗散来衰减。结果表明,磁场衰减提高了加热过程的重要性,相反,加热效应减慢了磁衰减,因此可以得出,中子星的热,自转和磁场也许不是独立演化的,不仅如此,这些演化与初始条件有关,因此,人们也许可以从射电和X射线观测对脉冲星年龄,初始磁场和周期给出某些限  相似文献

毫秒脉冲星   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
毫秒脉冲星PSR1937 214的发现是近几年天体物理学中的一次重要事件。本文介绍了该星的发现史和主要观测事实。该星自转周期为1.557806449023毫秒,是转动最快的脉冲星。周期变率为1.24×10~(-19)秒/秒。在它的周围没有明亮的超新星遗迹。这颗脉冲星的引人注目的特征是磁场低和在P—P图上位置独特。文中还评述了解释这颗脉冲星的四种模型;(1)起源于吸积X射线双星的中子星,通过从伴星吸积物质而加速到毫秒周期;(2)Michel和Dessler提出的盘模型脉冲星中的普通一员;(3)双中子星并合体;(4)辐射年龄小的脉冲星。最后一种可能性是本文作者提出的。根据具有相似特征的脉冲星倾向于分布在同一条PP~(-5)等值线及可按等值线排成演化序列的事实,作者按光速圆柱磁能衰减来定义脉冲星辐射年龄t:B/8π∝PP~(-5)=C_0exp(-2t/τ)(τ为磁能衰减时标),井据此认为PSR1937 214和蟹状星云脉冲星、船帆座脉冲星都是辐射年轻的。  相似文献

对年轻超新星遗迹的射电观测有助于理解超新星遗迹的早期演化. 选取银河系最年轻的超新星遗迹\lk G1.9+0.3进行了研究. 收集了已有的射电流量密度测量, 转化到同一频率, 从而获得了G1.9+0.3的流量密度在过去近50 yr的演化. 发现流量密度在2008年之前几乎一直在增加, 随后开始减小, 流量密度达到峰值的年龄约为\lk 150--155 yr. 流量密度的增加可能由磁场放大或者粒子加速效率提高产生的高能电子增多导致. 根据流量密度到达峰值的年龄, 结合前人的数值模拟, 讨论了超新星抛射物的质量和超新星爆发释放的动能.  相似文献

脉冲星参数统计是脉冲星研究的重要基础性工作。利用最新整理的脉冲星观测数据,对2 500多颗脉冲星参数的空间分布和演化进行了统计研究。结果显示,在空间上脉冲星集中在银道面附近,脉冲星数目分布的极大值位于距离银心约7.27 kpc处,这可能是星际色散和散射造成的观测效应。另外给出了自转周期、表面磁场、特征年龄和自转能损失率随着远离银道面的变化规律。随着远离银道面,常规脉冲星的自转周期和特征年龄不断增大,表面磁场和自转能损失率不断减小。常规脉冲星的射电光度随特征年龄的增大,先增大后减小,这表明射电辐射机制在不同年龄段有所不同。常规脉冲星自转能损失率随特征年龄的增大呈对数快速下降。这些结果是脉冲星分布演化理论研究的重要基础。  相似文献

反常X射线脉冲星的研究进展   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
反常X射线脉冲星(Anomalous X-ra Pulsars,简称AXP)是一类特殊的X射线源。与X射线脉冲星(通常处于大质量X射线双星系统中)相比,它们具有以下特征:X射线谱较软、光度低页稳定(≈10^27-10^29J.s^-1)、自转周期集中在10s左右稳定增长、迄今没有找到它们的光学、红外、射电的对应体、有一些可能戌超新星遗迹成协等。由观测到的自转周期变化可以确定它们的自转能损不足以提供有X射线辐射。解释AXP能源机制的理论模型目前主要有两大类:在吸积模型中,AXP被认为具有正常磁场强度(≈10^8T)的中子量,物质吸积提供X射线辐射原能源,并造成中子星的自转变化;另一种观点认为AXP是具有超强磁场(≈10^10-10^11T)的中子量(即磁星),其辐射能源来自它们巨大的磁或残余的热能,观测到的自转周期及其变化被归因子中子星的磁偶极辐射和物质抛射。两种模型各有优缺点,但目前看来观测事实对磁星模型较为有利。为了进一步明确AXP的性质,提供解释它们能源机制的线索,在介绍AXP的基本观测特征和理论解释的基础上,还将AXP与射电脉冲星、特强磁场射电脉冲量、射电宁静脉冲星侯选体及软γ射线复现源分别进行了比较。  相似文献

以往普遍认为,中子星具有的磁场是衰减性的,衰减时标约为(5—9)×10~6年。近年发现了另一种不衰减或衰减极慢的磁场,称之为第二类磁场。本文将对中子星的这种第二类磁场的研究现状作比较系统的介绍和述评。非常可能,这种磁场相当普遍地存在于各类中子星。脉冲星、X射线双星以及γ射线爆源,都可能存在着这种第二类磁场。  相似文献

The computation of theoretical pulsar populations has been a major component of pulsar studies since the 1970s. However, the majority of pulsar population synthesis has only regarded isolated pulsar evolution. Those that have examined pulsar evolution within binary systems tend to either treat binary evolution poorly or evolve the pulsar population in an ad hoc manner. Thus, no complete and direct comparison with observations of the pulsar population within the Galactic disc has been possible to date. Described here is the first component of what will be a complete synthetic pulsar population survey code. This component is used to evolve both isolated and binary pulsars. Synthetic observational surveys can then be performed on this population for a variety of radio telescopes. The final tool used for completing this work will be a code comprised of three components: stellar/binary evolution, Galactic kinematics and survey selection effects. Results provided here support the need for further (apparent) pulsar magnetic field decay during accretion, while they conversely suggest the need for a re-evaluation of the assumed typical millisecond pulsar formation process. Results also focus on reproducing the observed     diagram for Galactic pulsars and how this precludes short time-scales for standard pulsar exponential magnetic field decay. Finally, comparisons of bulk pulsar population characteristics are made to observations displaying the predictive power of this code, while we also show that under standard binary evolutionary assumption binary pulsars may accrete much mass.  相似文献

We use the grid of models described in Paper I to analyse those millisecond pulsar binaries whose secondaries have been studied optically. In particular, we find cooling ages for these binary systems that range from < 1 to ∼ 15 Gyr. Comparison of cooling ages and characteristic spin-down ages allows us to constrain the initial spin periods and spin-up histories for individual systems, showing that at least some millisecond pulsars had sub-Eddington accretion rates and long magnetic field decay times.  相似文献

We present the observations of the pulsar SMC X-1 with the ART-P telescope onboard the Granat observatory. We investigate the variability of the flux from the source on time scales of several tens of days. The intensity variation of the pulsar are shown to be consistent with the presence of a periodicity in the system with a characteristic time scale of ~61 days. The precession of an inclined accretion disk, as indirectly confirmed by the absence of low-state pulsations, may be responsible for the observed variability. The spectrum of the source is well described by a power-law energy dependence of the photon flux density with a slope of ~1.5 and an exponential cutoff at energies above ~14–18 keV. We estimated the inclinations between the planes of the orbit and the accretion disk and the magnetic field of the neutron star.  相似文献

Under the two initial 1‐D one parameter velocity distribution forms (one is normal, the other is exponential), the z direction scale height evolution of normal neutron stars in the Galaxy is studied by numerical simulation. We do statistics for the cases at different time segments, also do statistics for the cumulative cases made of each time segment. The results show in the cumulative cases the evolution curves of the scale heights are smoother than in the each time segment, i.e., the cumulation improve the signal‐to‐noise ratio. Certainly the evolution cases are different at different Galactic disk locations, which also have very large difference from the average cases in the whole disk. In the initial stages of z evolution of normal neutron stars, after the beginning transient states, the cumulative scale heights increase linearly with time, and the cumulative scale height increasing rates have linear relationship with the initial velocity distribution parameters, which have larger fluctuation in the vicinity of the Sun than in the whole disk. We utilize the linear relationship of the cumulative scale height increasing rates vs. the initial velocity distribution parameters in the vicinity of the Sun to make comparison with the observation near the Sun. The results show if there is no magnetic decay, then the deserved initial velocity parameters are obvious lower than the present well known results from some authors; whereas if introducing magnetic decay, for the 1‐D normal case we can make consistence among concerning results using magnetic decay time values which are supported by some authors, while for the 1‐D exponential case the results show the lackness of young pulsar samples in the larger z in the vicinity of the Sun (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

We adopt that in the interior of neutron stars both the proton and neutron superfluids are in the vortex state. Thus, in the superconducting core the magnetic field is expected to be organized in the form of quantized fluxoids. It is shown that fluxoids are buoyant. This gives rise to a rapid (5×104 yr) expulsion of the magnetic field out of the superconducting core to the subcrustal region, and a subsequent decay within the outer crust. The effect considered may be the physical reason why the characteristic decay-time of pulsar magnetic fields (106 yr) corresponds to the ohmic dissipation time within the neutron star crust. The intersection of two types of vortex lines with each other and its possible consequence for pulsars is briefly discussed.  相似文献

We study the contribution of young pulsars, with characteristic ages of less than 106 yr, to the diffuse γ-ray emission from the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Based on the outer gap model for γ-ray emission proposed by Zhang & Cheng and pulsar properties in the LMC given by Hartmann, Brown & Schnepf, we simulate the properties of the young pulsars in the LMC. We show that γ-rays produced by the pulsars in the LMC may make an important contribution to the diffuse γ-rays in the LMC, especially in the high-energy range. We calculate the γ-ray energy spectrum of the pulsars in the LMC and show that the γ-ray component contributed by the pulsars to the diffuse γ-rays in the high-energy range (above ∼1 GeV) becomes dominant. We expect that none of the young pulsars should be detectable as an individual point source of γ-ray emission by EGRET. We also expect that pulsar contribution above ∼1 GeV in the SMC is very important.  相似文献

We present X-ray data of the middle-aged radio pulsar PSR B0355+54. The XMM-Newton and Chandra observations show not only emission from the pulsar itself, but also compact diffuse emission extending ∼50″ in the opposite direction to the pulsar’s proper motion. Our analysis also indicates the presence of fainter diffuse emission extending ∼5′ from the point source. The morphology of the diffuse component is similar to the ram-pressure confined pulsar wind nebulae detected for other sources. We find that the compact diffuse component is well-fitted with a power-law, with an index that is consistent with the values found for other pulsar wind nebulae. The core emission from the pulsar can be characterized with a thermal plus power-law fit, with the thermal emission most likely originating in a hot polar cap.  相似文献

We explore the role of complex multipolar magnetic fields in determining physical processes near the surface of rotation powered pulsars. We model the actual magnetic field as the sum of global dipolar and star-centred multipolar fields. In configurations involving axisymmetric and uniform multipolar fields, 'neutral points' and 'neutral lines' exist close to the stellar surface. Also, the curvature radii of magnetic field lines near the stellar surface can never be smaller than the stellar radius, even for very high-order multipoles. Consequently, such configurations are unable to provide an efficient pair-creation process above pulsar polar caps, necessary for plasma mechanisms of generation of pulsar radiation. In configurations involving axisymmetric and non-uniform multipoles, the periphery of the pulsar polar cap becomes fragmented into symmetrically distributed narrow subregions where curvature radii of complex magnetic field lines are less than the radius of the star. The pair-production process is only possible just above these 'favourable' subregions. As a result, the pair plasma flow is confined within narrow filaments regularly distributed around the margin of the open magnetic flux tube. Such a magnetic topology allows us to model the system of 20 isolated subbeams observed in PSR B0943+10 by Deshpande & Rankin. We suggest a physical mechanism for the generation of pulsar radio emission in the ensemble of finite subbeams, based on specific instabilities. We propose an explanation for the subpulse drift phenomenon observed in some long-period pulsars.  相似文献

The production of pairs of magnetic monopoles-antimonopoles should be expected in the interactions of the high energy particles accelerated by pulsars. In the frame of the Sturrock model, the interactions of the very high energy protons emitted from the polar caps with the secondary electrons can be a source of magnetic monopoles. It may be the dominating process in very young pulsars such as the Crab pulsar. In the polar gap model of Ruderman and Sutherland, magnetic monopoles can be created by the electrons accelerated across the cap and interacting with the neutron star crust or by the negatons and positrons interacting head-on inside the sparks.Half of these monopoles are accelerated towards the interstellar medium by the pulsar magnetic field and the others are likely to be trapped inside the neutron star crust. This leads to a decrease in the pulsar magnetic field which would imply that the characteristic age may not give the true age of the pulsar This can be related to the discrepancy between and the real age of the Crab pulsar and the kinematical ages obtained from the measurement of the proper motion of some pulsars. Furthermore, the trapping of magnetic monopoles close under the surface of the neutron star perturbates the pulsar electrodynamics. To have such observable effects, it is shown that the cross-sections for the magnetic monopoles production can be several orders of magnitude smaller than the upper limits so far derived from cosmic rays or accelerator data.The possibility that the magnetic monopoles, accelerated outwards, are responsible for the highest energy extensive air showers, is considered.The production of an avalanche of secondary monopoles, due to acceleration by the magnetic field in the neutron star crust, is possible and the consequences of this process are considered.  相似文献
