Nature of the compact X-ray source in supernova remnant RCW103 and related problems

چکیده
I discuss the nature of the compact X-ray source in the center of the supernova remnant RCW 103. Several models, based on the accretion onto a compact object are analyzed. I show that it is more likely that the central X-ray source is an accreting neutron star than an accreting black hole. I also argue that models of a disrupted binary system consisting of an old accreting neutron star and a new one observed as a 69-ms pulsar are most favored.

On the nature of the compact X - ray source inside RCW 103
I discuss the nature of the compact X-ray source inside the supernova remnant RCW 103. Several models, based on the accretion onto a compact object such as a neutron star or a black hole (isolated or binary), are analyzed. I show that it is more likely that the X-ray source is an accreting neutron star than an accreting black hole. I also argue that models of a binary system with an old accreti...
متن کاملA long-period, violently variable X-ray source in a young supernova remnant.
Observations with the Newton X-ray Multimirror Mission satellite show a strong periodic modulation at 6.67 +/- 0.03 hours of the x-ray source at the center of the 2000-year-old supernova remnant RCW 103. No fast pulsations are visible. If genetically tied to the supernova remnant, the source could either be an x-ray binary, composed of a compact object and a low-mass star in an eccentric orbit,...
متن کاملX iv : a st ro - p h / 97 07 03 5 v 1 2 J ul 1 99 7 The nature of the radio - quiet compact X - ray source in SNR RCW 103
We consider the nature of the elusive neutron star candidate 1E 161348−5055 using X-ray observations obtained with the ASCA Observatory. The compact X-ray source is centered on the shell-type Galactic supernova remnant RCW 103 and has been interpreted as a cooling neutron star associated with the remnant. The X-ray spectrum of the remnant shell can be characterized by a non-equilibrium ionizati...
متن کاملKes73: A Young Supernova Remnant with an X-ray Bright, Radio-quiet Central Source
We clarify the nature of the small-diameter supernova remnant (SNR) Kes73 and its central compact source, 1E1841−045, using X-ray data acquired with the ASCA Observatory. We introduce a spatio-spectral decomposition technique necessary to disentangle the ASCA spectrum of the compact source from the barely resolved shell-type remnant. The source spectrum (1 – 8 keV) is characterized by an absorb...

In this poster I discuss the nature of the compact X-ray source in the center of the supernova remnant RCW 103.
