We study analytically the Rayleigh–Taylor instability in expanding supernova gas shell. The instability appears at the inner
shell surface accelerated by blowing pulsar wind. The most dangerous perturbations correspond to wavelengths comparable to
the shell thickness. We analyze the fragility of the supernova remnant shell in function of the initial perturbation amplitude
and the shell thickness. 相似文献

We show that the explosive transition of the neutron star(NS)to a quark star(QS)(a Quark Nova)in Cassiopeia A(Cas A)a few days following the supernova(SN)proper can account for several of the puzzling kinematic and nucleosynthetic features that are observed.The observed decoupling between Fe and44Ti and the lack of Fe emission within44Ti regions is expected in the QN model owing to the spallation of the inner SN ejecta by relativistic QN neutrons.Our model predicts the44Ti to be more prominent to the NW of the central compact object(CCO)than in the SE and little of it along the NE-SW jets,in agreement with Nu Star observations.Other intriguing features of Cas A are addressed,such as the lack of a pulsar wind nebula and the reported few percent drop in the CCO temperature over a period of 10 yr. 相似文献

We investigated the kinematics of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) in the old supernova remnant CTB 80 using the Fabry-Perot interferometer of the 6-m Special Astrophysical Observatory telescope. In addition to the previously known expansion of the system of bright filaments with a velocity of 100–200 km s?1, we detected weak high-velocity features in the Hα line at least up to velocities of 400–450 km s?1. We analyzed the morphology of the PWN in the Hα, [S II], and [O III] lines using HST archival data and discuss its nature. The shape of the central filamentary shell, which is determined by the emission in the [O III] line and in the radio continuum, is shown to be consistent with the bow-shock model for a significant (about 60°) inclination of the pulsar’s velocity vector to the plane of the sky. In this case, the space velocity of the pulsar is twice as high as its tangential velocity, i.e., it reaches ?500 km s?1, and PSR B1951+32 is the first pulsar whose radial velocity about 40 km s?1 has been estimated from PWN observations. The shell-like Hα-structures outside the bow shock front in the east and the west could be associated with both the pulsar’s jets and the pulsar wind breakthrough due to the layered structure of the extended CTB 80 shell. 相似文献

We present a numerical model of the action of a pulsar on its associated supernova remnant. The expansion of the blast wave
in the progenitor star has first been considered until radiation pressure within the ejected material becomes negligible due
to expansion. By assuming that expansion is ballistic and that the ejecta is opaque to the pulsar 's magnetodipole radiation,
the model produces a radiation-filled cavity which grows around the pulsar and contributes to power the dynamics of the forming
supernova remnant. The interface between the cavity and the ejecta has been modelled as a thin shell which, depending on the
initial spin frequency of the pulsar, can sweep through the ejecta and reach the blast wave. Results for the evolution of
the shell indicate that it may strike the front most part of the shocked gas some 60 years after the explosion. Such pulsar-supernova
remnant interactions are proposed to form the base of a new subclassification of pulsar-filled supernova remnants.

We present the results of modelling of the radio spectrum evolution and dispersion measure variations of PSR B1259–63, a pulsar in a binary system with Be star LS 2883.We base our model on a hypothesis that the observed variations of the spectrum are caused by thermal free-free absorption occurring in the pulsar surroundings. We reproduce the observed pulsar spectral shapes in order to examine the influence of the stellar wind of LS 2883 and the equatorial disc on the pulsar’s radiation.The simulations of the pulsar’s radio emission and its consequent free-free absorption give us an insight into the impact of stellar wind and equatorial disc of LS 2883 has on the shapes of PSR B1259–63 radio spectra, providing an evidence for the connection between gigahertz-peaked spectra phenomenon and the close environment of the pulsar. Additionally, we supplement our model with an external absorbing medium, which results in a good agreement between simulated and observational data. 相似文献

We study the multi-waveband non-thermal emission from the pulsar wind neb- ulae (PWNe) Vela X and G0.9 + 0.1 in the frame of a time-dependent model describing non-thermal radiation from the PWNe. In such a model, the relativistic wind of parti- cles driven by a central pulsar blows into the ambient medium and creates a termination shock that accelerates the particles to very high energy in a PWN. The non-thermal pho-tons in the PWN are produced both by synchrotron radiation and the inverse Compton process, with electrons coming directly from the pulsar magnetosphere and electrons be- ing accelerated at the termination shock. We apply this model to reproduce the observed multi-waveband photon spectra of Vela X and the G0.9+0.1, both of which have been detected emitting very high energy photons. Our results indicate that TeV photons are produced by the inverse Compton scattering of the high-energy electrons in the infrared photon field in both Vela X and PWN G0.9+0.1. The TeV photons from these two PWNe may have leptonic origins. 相似文献

Dynamical evolution of a relativistic beam ejected from a galactic centre is studied using the similarity method for the relativistic winds flowing through channels. The expansion phase is divided into two stages: A relativistic expansion and a non-relativistic expansion stage. By the dimensional analysis for a relativistic wind, the propagation law of the expanding wave front is obtained. When the front moves relativistically, the density of the ambient matter observed in the co-moving frame of the front increases by the Lorentz contraction and mass increment, and the propagation law obtained in the classical theory is modified by these relativistic effects. On the basis of a perturbation method, a new similarity method for a relativistic flow whose front velocity is varing with the expansion is presented. The flow structures of the relativistic wind are given. With the expansion of a beam, the inward-facing shock wave is more separated from the front of the outward-expanding shock wave and its shock strength becomes stronger than that of the outward-expanding shock wave when the ejected beam consists of energetic particles. The evolutions of the extragalactic double sources are considered. The relative position of the hot spot in the radio map is presented at each stage of the expansion and discussed with the observational radio maps. The time variation of the radio emission is predicted. 相似文献

We measured the flux densities of the radio source 3C 58, which was identified with the remnant of SN 1181, in April–May 2003 relative to the spectrum of the standard source 3C 295 at fourf requencies in the range 1550 to 8450 MHz using the RTF-32 radio telescope at the Svetloe Observatory of the Institute of Applied Astronomy (Russian Academy of Sciences). We found significant nonstationary frequency-dependent flux-density variations in 3C 58 and variations in its instantaneous spectrum. We established that these variations occurred between 1986 and 1998. Based on data for the instantaneous spectra, we show that the break in the spectrum of 3C 58 results from prolonged energy losses by relativistic electrons through synchrotron radiation that took place in a nebula with an age of 5400 yr, equal to the age of the pulsar PSR J0205+6449. SN 1181 is shown to have exploded without the birth of a pulsar, which is characteristic of type-I supernovae. The shock acceleration of relativistic electrons after the explosion may be responsible for the observed nonstantionarity of the flux densities. The long-term evolution of the radio spectrum for the nebula 3C 58 and the nonstationary flux-density variations due to the explosion of SN 1181 are reconciled in terms of a model of an evolved binary system. 相似文献

We report hard X-ray emission of the non-thermal supernova remnant G337.2+0.1. The source presents centrally filled and diffuse
X-ray emission. A spectral study confirms that the column density of the central part of the object is about N
H∼5.9(±1.5)×1022 cm−2 and its X-ray spectrum is well represented by a single power-law with a photon index Γ=0.96±0.56. Detailed spectral analysis indicates that the outer region is highly absorbed and quite softer than the inner
region. Characteristics already observed in other well-known X-ray plerions. Based on the gathered information, we confirm
the SNR nature of G337.2+0.1, and suggest that the central region of the source is a pulsar wind nebula (PWN), originated
by an energetic though yet undetected pulsar. 相似文献

We investigate the effects of inverse Compton scattering by electrons and positrons in the unshocked winds of rotationally-powered binary pulsars. This process can scatter low energy target photons to produce gamma rays with energies from MeV to TeV. The binary radio pulsars PSR B1259−63 and PSR J0045−73 are both in close eccentric orbits around bright main sequence stars which provide a huge density of low energy target photons. The inverse Compton scattering process transfers momentum from the pulsar wind to the scattered photons, and therefore provides a drag which tends to decelerate the pulsar wind. We present detailed calculations of the dynamics of a pulsar wind which is undergoing inverse Compton scattering, showing that the deceleration of the wind of PSR B1259−63 due to ‘inverse Compton drag' is small, but that this process may confine the wind of PSR J0045−73 before it attains pressure balance with the outflow of its companion star. We calculate the spectra and light curves of the resulting inverse Compton emission from PSR B1259−63 and show that if the size of the pulsar wind nebula is comparable to the binary separation, then the γ-ray emission from the unshocked wind may be detectable by atmospheric Cherenkov detectors or by the new generation of satellite-borne γ-ray detectors such as INTEGRAL and GLAST. This mechanism may therefore provide a direct probe of the freely-expanding regions of pulsar winds, previously thought to be invisible. 相似文献

The toroidal magnetic field frozen in the relativistic plasma ejected by pulsars must play a significant role in the formation of jet-like features observed in the central parts of plerions. We performed a semiquantitative analysis and calculations of the plasma flow in a plerion using the perturbation theory. We show that for the latitudinal magnetic-field distribution expected during the interaction of the pulsar wind with the interstellar medium, the magnetic field will have an appreciable effect on the flow primarily near the rotation axis. In the equatorial region, the effect of the magnetic field is negligible up to distances of 7rsh. 相似文献

PSR J1833−1034 and its associated pulsar wind nebula (PWN) have been investigated in depth through X-ray observations ranging from 0.1 to 200 keV. The low-energy X-ray data from Chandra reveal a complex morphology that is characterized by a bright central plerion, no thermal shell and an extended diffuse halo. The spectral emission from the central plerion softens with radial distance from the pulsar, with the spectral index ranging from Γ= 1.61 in the central region to Γ= 2.36 at the edge of the PWN. At higher energy, INTEGRAL detected the source in the 17–200 keV range. The data analysis clearly shows that the main contribution to the spectral emission in the hard X-ray energy range is originated from the PWN, while the pulsar is dominant above 200 keV. Recent High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS) observations in the high-energy gamma-ray domain show that PSR J1833−1034 is a bright TeV emitter, with a flux corresponding to ∼2 per cent of the Crab in 1–10 TeV range. In addition, the spectral shape in the TeV energy region matches well with that in the hard X-rays observed by INTEGRAL . Based on these findings, we conclude that the emission from the pulsar and its associated PWN can be described in a scenario where hard X-rays are produced through synchrotron light of electrons with Lorentz factor γ∼ 109 in a magnetic field of ∼10 μG. In this hypothesis, the TeV emission is due to inverse-Compton interaction of the cooled electrons off the cosmic microwave background photons. Search for PSR J1833−1034 X-ray pulsed emission, via RXTE and Swift X-ray observations, resulted in an upper limit that is about 50 per cent. 相似文献

There is accumulating evidence for mass ejection in low-mass X-ray binaries(LMXBs)driven by radio pulsar activity during X-ray quiescence.We consider the condition for mass ejection by comparing the radiation pressure from a millisecond pulsar,and the gas pressure at the inner Lagrange point or at the surrounding accretion disk.We calculate the critical spin period of the pulsar below which mass ejection is allowed.Combining with the evolution of the mass transfer rate,we present constraints on the orbital ... 相似文献

We present the result of a study on the expansion properties and internal kinematics of round/elliptical planetary nebulae of the Milky Way disk, the halo, and of the globular cluster M 15. The purpose of this study is to considerably enlarge the small sample of nebulae with precisely determined expansion properties (Schönberner et al. 2005b). To this aim, we selected a representative sample of objects with different evolutionary stages and metallicities and conducted highresolution ´echelle spectroscopy. In most cases we succeeded in detecting the weak signals from the outer nebular shell which are attached to the main line emission from the bright nebular rim. Next to the measurement of the motion of the rim gas by decomposition of the main line components into Gaussians, we were able to measure separately, for most objects for the first time, the gas velocity immediately behind the leading shock of the shell, i.e. the post‐shock velocity. We more than doubled the number of objects for which the velocities of both rim and shell are known and confirm that the overall expansion of planetary nebulae is accelerating with time. There are, however, differences between the expansion behaviour of the shell and the rim: The post‐shock velocity is starting at values as low as around 20 km s–1 for the youngest nebulae, just above the AGB wind velocity of ∼ 10–15 km s–1, and is reaching values of about 40 km s–1 for the nebulae around hotter central stars. Contrarily, the rim matter is at first decelerated below the typical AGB‐wind velocity and remains at about 5–10 km s–1 for a while until finally a typical flow velocity of up to 30 km s–1 is reached. This observed distinct velocity evolution of both rim and shell is explained by radiation‐hydrodynamics simulations, at least qualitatively: It is due to the ever changing stellar radiation field and wind‐wind interaction together with the varying density profile ahead of the leading shock during the progress of evolution. The wind‐wind interaction works on the rim dynamics while the radiation field and upstream density gradient is responsible for the shell dynamics. Because of these time‐dependent boundary conditions, a planetary nebula will never evolve into a simple self‐similar expansion. Also the metal‐poor objects behave as theory predicts: The post‐shock velocities are higher and the rim flow velocities are equal or even lower compared to disk objects at similar evolutionary stage. The old nebula around low‐luminosity central stars contained in our sample expand still fast and are dominated by reionisation. We detected, for the first time, in some objects an asymmetric expansion behaviour: The relative expansions between rim and shell appear to be different for the receding and approaching parts of the nebular envelope.

One of the intriguing aspects of supernova remnants is their morphology. While the majority of them look like hollow shells,
a few, called plerions, are centrally filled like the Crab nebula, and some have a shell-plerion combination morphology. The
centrally-filled component in these remnants is believed to be powered by a central pulsar. In this paper we present results
of model calculations of the evolution of surface brightness and morphology of supernova remnants containing pulsars. We discuss
how the morphology of a supernova remnant will depend on the velocity of expansion, the density of the ambient medium into
which it is expanding, and the initial period and magnetic field strength of the central pulsar 相似文献

We investigate the evolution of rotation period and spindown age of a pulsar whose surface magnetic field undergoes a phase
of growth. Application of these results to the Crab pulsar strongly indicates that its parameters cannot be accounted for

HD49798 is a hydrogen depleted subdwarf 06 star and has an X-ray pulsating companion(RX J0648.0-4418).The X-ray pulsating companion is a massive white dwarf.Employing Eggleton's stellar evolution code with the optically thick wind assumption,we find that the hot subdwarf HD 49798 and its X-ray pulsating companion could produce a type Ia supernova(SN Ia)in future evolution.This implies that the binary system is a likely candidate of an SN Ia progenitor.We also discuss the possibilities of some other WD+He star systems(e.g.V445 Pup and KPD1930+2752)for producing SNe Ia. 相似文献

In the evolutionary tracks of magnetized compact stars the subsonic propeller state is intermediate between the supersonic propeller and accretor states. The rotation rate of a star in this stage decreases because of the interaction of its magnetosphere with the surrounding hot quasistatic shell. The radius of the magnetosphere is less than the corotation radius, and the boundary of the magnetosphere is stable with respect to inter-change instabilities. The mass flow rate from the inner radius of the shell to the surface of the compact object is limited by the rate at which plasma diffuses into the magnetic field of the star. Because of this, a subsonic propeller will show up as a low (or moderate) luminosity accretion pulsar with a soft x-ray spectrum.__________Translated from Astrofizika, Vol. 48, No. 3, pp. 477–490 (August 2005). 相似文献
