脉冲星平均脉冲不对称性的研究     

吴鑫基  盘军 《紫金山天文台台刊》1999,18(3):299-302

本文讨论了光线的狭义相对论性偏折、光行时间差和磁场拖曳对脉冲到达相位的综合影响。在辐射束中的核、内锥以及外锥的辐射高度有差别时,观测得到的平均脉冲中的各个成份的位置也会发生改变,导致平均脉冲的不对称。分析了脉冲星ＰＳＲ１４５１６８ 和ＰＳＲＪ０４３７４７１５ 资料,发现它们的平均脉冲属于两种不同的不对称性。用相位综合漂移理论解释了这两种不对称性。  相似文献

Very-high-energy gamma radiation associated with the unshocked wind of the Crab pulsar     

S. V. Bogovalov  F. A. Aharonian 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2000,313(3):504-514

We show that the relativistic wind of the Crab pulsar, which is commonly thought to be invisible in the region upstream of the termination shock at r r _S∼0.1 pc, in fact could be directly observed through its inverse Compton (IC) γ -ray emission. This radiation is caused by illumination of the wind by low-frequency photons emitted by the pulsar, and consists of two, pulsed and unpulsed , components associated with the non-thermal (pulsed) and thermal (unpulsed) low-energy radiation of the pulsar, respectively. These two components of γ -radiation have distinct spectral characteristics, which depend essentially on the site of formation of the kinetic-energy-dominated wind, as well as on the Lorentz factor and the geometry of propagation of the wind. Thus, the search for such specific radiation components in the spectrum of the Crab Nebula can provide unique information about the unshocked pulsar wind that is not accessible at other wavelengths. In particular, we show that the comparison of the calculated flux of the unpulsed IC emission with the measured γ -ray flux of the Crab Nebula excludes the possibility of formation of a kinetic-energy-dominated wind within 5 light-cylinder radii of the pulsar, R _w5 R _L. The analysis of the pulsed IC emission, calculated under reasonable assumptions concerning the production site and angular distribution of the optical pulsed radiation, yields even tighter restrictions, namely R _w30 R _L.  相似文献

Repeating fast radio bursts reveal the secret of pulsar magnetospheric activity     

Renxin Xu  Weiyang Wang 《Astronomische Nachrichten》2024,345(2-3):e230153

The puzzling mechanism of coherent radio emission remains unknown, but fortunately, repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) provide a precious opportunity, with extremely bright subpulses created in a clear and vacuum-like pulsar magnetosphere. FRBs are millisecond-duration signals that are highly dispersed at distant galaxies but with uncertain physical origin(s). Coherent curvature radiation by bunches has already been proposed for repeating FRBs. The charged particles are created during central star's quakes, which can form bunches streaming out along curved magnetic field lines, so as to trigger FRBs. The nature of narrow-band radiation with time-frequency drifting can be a natural consequence that bunches could be observed at different times with different curvatures. Additionally, high linear-polarization can be seen if the line of sight is confined to the beam angle, whereas the emission could be highly circular-polarized if off-beam. It is also discussed that pulsar surface may be full of small hills (i.e., zits) which would help producing bulk of energetic bunches for repeating FRBs as well as for rotation-powered pulsars.  相似文献   

The micro-glitch in PSR B1821−24: a case for a strange pulsar?     

Raka Dona Ray Mandal  Sushan Konar  Mira Dey  Jishnu Dey 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2009,399(2):822-826

The single glitch observed in PSR B1821−24, a millisecond pulsar in M28, is unusual on two counts. First, the magnitude of this glitch is at least an order of magnitude smaller  (Δν/ν∼ 10⁻¹¹)  than the smallest glitch observed to date. Secondly, all other glitching pulsars have strong magnetic fields with   B ≳ 10¹¹ G  and are young, whereas PSR B1821−24 is an old recycled pulsar with a field strength of  2.25 × 10⁹ G  . We have earlier suggested that some of the recycled pulsars could actually be strange quark stars. In this work, we argue that the crustal properties of such a strange pulsar are just right to give rise to a glitch of this magnitude, explaining the scarcity of larger glitches in millisecond pulsars.  相似文献   

Search for TeV gamma-rays from Geminga pulsar

We present the results of observation of the Geminga pulsar carried out in the TeV energy band during the 6 year period spanning 2000–2006 using the Pachmarhi Array of Cherenkov Telescopes (PACT). A long stretch of data, new computer codes and the “Tempo” package have been used in the present analysis. We have searched for evidence of pulsed emission of γ-rays from the Geminga pulsar using the post-glitch pulsar elements obtained by Jackson and Halpern from X-ray/γ-ray satellite data. We do not see any significant evidence for pulsed emission from the Geminga pulsar at a threshold energy of 825 GeV. In this paper we present our results on the light curve in the TeV energy band, set an upper limit on the time averaged flux of γ-rays, and compare our results with other ground based observations.  相似文献

Relationship between the nonstationary radio-luminosity variations of the Crab Nebula and the activity of its pulsar     

K. S. Stankevich  V. P. Ivanov 《Astronomy Letters》2005,31(2):98-102

Based on the half-century-long history of radio observations of the Crab Nebula, we investigate the evolution of its radio luminosity. We found a secular decrease in the radio luminosity; it has decreased by 9% since the discovery of the radio source in 1948. Apart from the secular decrease in the luminosity of the Crab Nebula, we identified two time intervals, 1981–1987 and 1992–1998, when radio bursts with energy release ～10⁴¹ erg took place. In these years, the spectral indices of the instantaneous spectra decreased significantly due to the increase in the flux densities at short (centimeter and millimeter) wavelengths. These events were preceded by sudden increases in the pulsar’s rotation rates, the largest of which, with an amplitude of ΔΩ/Ω = 3 × 10^?8, occurred in 1975 and 1989. We show that the magnetospheric instability mechanism that accompanies strong glitches can provide the energetics of the excess luminosity of the Nebula through the ejection of relativistic electrons with a total energy higher than 6 × 10⁴² erg from the pulsar’s magnetosphere.  相似文献
