On the Interacting Winds of PSR J0737−3039
نویسنده
چکیده
The theoretical expectations before and after this conference are contrasted. The unique theoretical opportunities for deciphering what sort of wind flows from pulsars in this system are outlined. We suggest that this system may provide evidence for fan beams, which should be clearer after a few years of spin-precession. There is also a reasonable expectation of a partially linearly polarized x-ray nebula due to wind/wind interactions between the two pulsars.

Xmm-newton Observation of the Double Pulsar System J0737–3039
We report on a 50 ksec XMM-Newton observation of the double pulsar system J0737–3039 performed on April 2004. We present results of the spectral analysis of these data combined with the much shorter Chandra pointing performed on January 2004. Black body emission with effective temperature of 0.20 −0.02 keV (90% confidence level) and emission radius 75 +30 −9 m for a distance of 0.5 kpc (implyin...
متن کاملPulsed X-ray Emission from Pulsar a in the Double Pulsar System
The double pulsar system J0737−3039 is not only a test bed for General Relativity and theories of gravity, but also provides a unique laboratory for probing the relativistic winds of neutron stars. Recent X-ray observations have revealed a point source at the position of PSR J0737−3039, but have failed to detect pulsations or orbital modulation. Here we report on Chandra X-ray Observatory High ...
متن کاملThe Very Soft X - Ray Spectrum of the Double Pulsar System J 0737 − 3039
We present the results of an 80 ks ChandraACIS-S observation of the double pulsar system J0737−3039 performed on 2006 June. Furthermore, we report on spectral, spatial and timing analysis of the combined X-ray observations performed so far for this system. Fitting a total of∼ 1100 photons,we show that the X-ray spectrum of the J0737–3039 system is very soft, and not satisfactorily modeled by a ...
متن کاملConstraints on the dense matter EOS from the measurements of PSR J 0737 - 3039 A moment of inertia and PSR J 0751 + 1807 mass
The moment of inertia of the pulsar A in the neutron star binary J0737-3039 will soon be measurable through detailed measurements of the periastron advance. We present the calculation of the moment of inertia of neutron stars with the masses of the components of the binary J0737-3039 for a broad range of equations of state of dense matter and discuss the implications of such measurement for con...
متن کاملX-ray Emission from the Double Neutron Star Binary B1534+12: Powered by the Pulsar Wind?
We report the detection of the double neutron star binary (DNSB) B1534+12 (= J1537+1155) with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. This DNSB (Porb = 10.1 hr) consists of the millisecond (recycled) pulsar J1537+1155A (PA = 37.9 ms) and a neutron star not detected in the radio. After the remarkable double pulsar binary J0737−3039, it is the only other DNSB detected in X-rays. We measured the flux of (2...
