X-ray Pulse Profiles of PSR J0538+2817
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports our analysis of 163 ks observations of PSR J0538+2817 with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE).The pulse profiles, detected up to 60 keV, show a single peak asin the case for radio frequency. The profile is well described by one Gaussians function with full width at half maximum (FWHM) 0.04794. We compared the difference of arrival time between radio and X-ray pulse profiles for the first time. It turns out that the phase of radio emits precede the X-ray by 8.7 ± 4.5 ms. Furthermore we obtained the pulse profiles in the energy ranges of 2.29-6.18 keV, 6.18-12.63 keV and 12.63-17.36 keV. The intensity of pulses decreases with the increasing energy range. We discuss the emission geometry in our work. Keywords—RXTE, X-ray pulsars, PSR J0538+2817.

We report on the XMM-Newton observations of the 143 ms pulsar PSR J0538+2817. We present evidence for the first detections of pulsed X-rays from the source at a frequency which is consistent with the predicted radio frequency. The pulse profile is broad and asymmetric, with a pulse fraction of 18 ± 3%. We find that the spectrum of the source is well-fit with a blackbody with T ∞ = (2.12 +0.04 −...

متن کاملThe Pwn Torus of Psr J0538 + 2817 and the Origin of Pulsar Velocities
We find evidence for a faint wind nebula surrounding PSRJ0538+ 2817 in CXO -ACIS imaging. This object is particularly interesting, as the pulsar spindown age is largest for any such X-ray PWN. If interpreted as an equatorial torus, the PWN supports the claimed association with the S147 supernova remnant and implies good alignment between the pulsar spin and space velocity. Comparison of the SNR...

We report on VLBA astrometry and CXO imaging of PSR J0538+2817 in the supernova remnant S147. We measure a parallax distance of 1.47 −0.27 kpc along with a high-precision proper motion, giving a transverse velocity V⊥ = 400 −73 km s . A small extended wind nebula is detected around the pulsar; the symmetry axis of this structure suggests that the spin axis lies 12 ± 4 from the velocity vector (...
متن کاملPulsar Kicks: Spin and Kinematic Constraints
It has been noted that the Crab and Vela pulsar proper motions lie along the symmetry axes of their wind nebulae. In an effort to promote this observation to a serious test of kick physics, we are using CXO images and other data to estimate the angle between the proper motion and PWN (i.e., spin) axis for a number of pulsars. Here we give a progress report on this work and the constraints that ...
