چکیده

We report a large spin-up glitch in PSR J1846−0258 which coincided with the onset of magnetar-like behavior on 2006 May 31. We show that the pulsar experienced an unusually large glitch recovery, with a recovery fraction of Q = 5.9 ± 0.3, resulting in a net decrease of the pulse frequency. Such a glitch recovery has never before been observed in a rotation-powered pulsar, however, similar but smaller glitch over-recovery has been recently reported in the magnetar AXP 4U 0142+61 and may have occurred in the SGR 1900+14. We discuss the implications of the unusual timing behavior in PSR J1846−0258 on its status as the first identified magnetically active rotation-powered pulsar. Subject headings: pulsars: general—pulsars: individual (PSR J1846−0258)—Xrays: stars

X-ray Timing of Psr J1852+0040 in Kesteven 79: Evidence of Neutron Stars Weakly Magnetized at Birth

The 105-ms X-ray pulsar J1852+0040 is the central compact object (CCO) in supernova remnant Kes 79. We report a sensitive upper limit on its radio flux density of 12μJy at 2 GHz using the NRAO Green Bank Telescope. Timing using the Newton X-Ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) and the Chandra X-ray Observatory over a 2.4 yr span reveals no significant change in its spin period. The 2σ upper li...

Observations of Energetic High Magnetic Field Pulsars with the Fermi Large Area Telescope

We report the detection of γ-ray pulsations from the high-magnetic-field rotation-powered pulsar PSR J1119−6127 using data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope. The γ-ray light curve of PSR J1119−6127 shows a single, wide peak offset from the radio peak by 0.43± 0.02 in phase. Spectral analysis suggests a power law of index 1.0± 0.3 −0.2 with an energy cut-off at 0.8± 0.2 +2.0 −0.5GeV. The first...

Precise Timing of the X-ray Pulsar 1e 1207.4−5209: a Steady Neutron Star Weakly Magnetized at Birth

We analyze all X-ray timing data on 1E 1207.4−5209 in supernova remnant PKS 1209−51/52 gathered in 2000–2005, and find a highly stable rotation with P = 424.130751(4) ms and Ṗ = (9.6±9.4)×10 s s. This refutes previous claims of large timing irregularities in these data. In the dipole spin-down formalism, the 2σ upper limit on Ṗ implies an energy loss rate Ė < 1.5×10 ergs s, surface magnetic fie...

Chandra X-ray Imaging Spectroscopy of the Young Supernova Remnant Kesteven 75

We present a spatially resolved spectroscopic analysis of the young Galactic supernova remnant Kes 75 (SNR G29.7-0.3) using the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Kes 75 is one of an increasing number of examples of a shell-type remnant with a central pulsar powering an extended radio/X-ray core. We are able to pinpoint the location of the recently discovered pulsar, PSR J1846−0258, and confirm that X-...

Pulsar Near the Supernova Remnant RCW 103

Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT We report the detection of the radio pulsar counterpart to the 69 ms X-ray pulsar discovered near the supernova remnant RCW 103 (G332.4−0.4). Our detection confirms that the pulsations arise from a rotation-powered neutron star, which we name PSR J1617−5055. The observed barycentric period derivative confirms that the pulsar has a characteristic age of only 8 ...
