High Energy Emissions from the PSR1259−63/SS2883 Binary System

چکیده
The PSR1259−63/SS2883 binary system consists of a Be star and a radio pulsar in a highly eccentric orbit. We discuss on very-high energy and high energy emissions from the particles accelerated in the Be star flows, due to the interactions of the relativistic pulsar wind and mass outflows of the star. The outflow parameters are constrained by the TeV observation results.

Gamma-rays from binary system with energetic pulsar and Be star with aspherical wind: PSR B1259-63/SS2883
At least one massive binary system containing an energetic pulsar, PSR B125963/SS2883, has been recently detected in the TeV γ-rays by the HESS telescopes. These γ-rays are likely produced by particles accelerated in the vicinity of the pulsar and/or at the pulsar wind shock, in comptonization of soft radiation from the massive star. However, the process of γ-ray production in such systems can ...
متن کاملDetection of X – Ray Emission from the PSR 1259 – 63 / SS 2883 Binary System ∗
Nonpulsed but variable X-ray emission has been detected from the binary system containing the radio pulsar PSR 1259–63 during two pointed ROSAT observations, taken five months apart. This 47.7 ms radio pulsar is in a highly eccentric (2 ∼ .85) binary system with the 10 to 15 M ̄ Be star SS2883. It is the first radio pulsar found to be in a binary system with a massive main sequence companion; it...

The spectral energy distribution from the X-ray to the very high energy regime (> 100 GeV) has been investigated for the γ-ray binary system PSR B125963/SS2883 as a function of orbital phase within the framework of a simple model of a pulsar wind nebula. The emission model is based on the synchrotron radiation process for the X-ray regime and the inverse Compton scattering process boosting stel...
متن کاملOBSERVATIONS OF PULSARS , PSR 1509 − 58 AND PSR 1259 − 63 , BY CANGAROO 3 . 8 m TELESCOPE
The data for VHE (∼TeV) gamma rays from young gamma-ray pulsar PSR1509-58 observed in 1996 with the CANGAROO 3.8mČerenkov imaging telescope are presented, as well as the additional data from March to June of 1997. The high spin-down luminosity of the pulsar and the plerionic feature around the pulsar observed with radio and X-rays suggest that VHE gamma-ray emission is quite likely above the se...
متن کاملShock geometry and inverse Compton emission from the wind of a binary pulsar
PSR B1259−63 is a 47ms radio pulsar with a high spin-down luminosity which is in a close, highly eccentric 3.5-year orbit about a bright stellar companion. The binary system may be a detectable source of hard γ-rays produced by inverse Compton scattering of photons from the B2e star SS2883 by electrons and positrons in the pulsar wind. The star provides an enormous density of optical photons in...
