X-ray polarimetry of X-ray pulsar X Persei: another orthogonal rotator?

چکیده

X Persei is a persistent low-luminosity X-ray pulsar of period $\sim$835 s in Be binary system. The field strength at the neutron star surface not known precisely, but indirect signs indicate magnetic above $10^{13}$ G, which makes object one most magnetized pulsars. Here we present results observations performed with Imaging Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). polarization signal was found to be strongly dependent on spin phase pulsar. energy-averaged degree 3-8 keV band varied from several $\sim$20 per cent over pulse positive correlation pulsed flux. angle shows significant variation and two complete revolutions during resulting nearly nil pulse-phase averaged polarization. Applying rotating vector model IXPE data obtain estimates for rotation axis inclination its position sky as well obliquity. derived close orbital reported earlier Persei. polarimetric imply large between dipole axes, similar result recently GRO J1008$-$57. After eliminating effect using best-fitting model, strong dependence energy discovered value increasing 0% $\sim$2 30% 8 keV.

X-ray and Infrared Enhancement of Anomalous X-ray Pulsar

The long-term ( 1.5 yr) X-ray enhancement and the accompanying infrared enhancement light curves of the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1E 2259+586 following the major bursting epoch can be accounted for by the relaxation of a fallback disk that has been pushed back by a gamma-ray flare. The required burst energy estimated from the results of our model fits is low enough for such a burst to have remaine...

Forty Years of X-Ray Binaries

In 2012 it was forty years ago that the discovery of the first X-ray binary Centaurus X-3 became known. That same year it was discovered that apart from the High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) there are also Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs), and that Cygnus X-1 is most probably a black hole. By 1975 also the new class of Be/X-ray binaries was discovered. After this it took 28 years before ESAs INTE...

Evaluation of multifunctional targeted gold nanoparticles on X-ray attenuation in nasopharyngeal cancer cells by X- ray imaging

Introduction: Head-and-neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide with the number of cases consistently increasing in developing countries. Successful development of effective, safe and cost effective nanoprobes for head-and-neck cancer targeting imaging is a big challenge. This study is aimed to develop cysteamine-folate conjugated gold nanoparticles (F-Cys-AuNPs) a...
