Transient pulsar dynamics in hard x-rays: Prognoz 9 and GRIF ”Mir” space experiments data
نویسنده
چکیده
The long-term observations of the Galactic Centre as well as the Galactic anti-Centre regions in hard X-rays (10-300 keV) were made in experiments on board Prognoz-9 satellite and ”Mir” orbital station (GRIF experiment). Some transient pulsars including A0535+262, GS1722-36, 4U1145-619, A1118615, EXO2030+37, Sct X-1, SAX J2103.5+4545, IGR 16320-4751, IGR 164654507 were observed. The pulsation flux components of A0535+26 and GS1722-36 X-ray emission were revealed at significant level. For other observed pulsars the upper limits of pulsation intensity were obtained. The mean pulsation profiles of A0535+26 in different energy ranges as well as the energy spectra were obtained at different stages of outburst decreasing. The pulsation intensity-period behavior does not contradict the well-known correlation between spin-up rate and X-ray flux, while the stable character of the energy spectrum power index indicates on the absence of thermal component. The energy spectrum and mean pulsation profiles were also obtained for one time interval of GS1722-36 observations. The upper limits of pulsation fluxes obtained for other observed transient pulsars at the orbital phases more than 0.14 correspond the quiescent state or final stage of the first type outburst.

Orbital Periodicities in the Hard Emission from X-ray Transient - Black Hole Candidates between Outbursts
During long-term observations of the Galactic Centre region in hard X-rays (10-300 keV) in space experiments made on board Prognoz-9 satellite and ”Mir” orbital station (GRIF experiment) some periodic sources were revealed. They include periodicities of hour and day range of period: 152 h, 98 h, 82 h (4U170037), 69 h, 62 h, 13.3 h, 9.36 h, 8.03h, 8.15 h (Cen X-4), 4.38 h, 4.35 h (4U1755-33) and...
متن کاملChandra and Xmm-newton Discovery of the Transient X-ray Pulsar in the Nearby Spiral Galaxy Ngc2403
We report on the discovery and analysis of the transient X-ray pulsar CXO/XMMU J073709.13+653544 detected in the 2004 August–October Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC2403. The X-ray source exhibits X-ray pulsations with a period P∼18 s and a nearly sinusoidal pulse shape and pulsed fraction 46-70% during the first three observations. A detailed timing analysis ...
متن کاملThe Emerging Population of Pulsar Wind Nebulae in Hard X-rays
The hard X-ray synchrotron emission from Pulsar Wind Nebulae probes energetic particles, closely related to the pulsar injection power at the present time. INTEGRAL has disclosed the yet poorly known population of hard X-ray pulsar/PWN systems. We summarize the properties of the class, with emphasys on the first hard X-ray bow-shock (CTB 80 powered by PSR B1951+32), and highlight some prospects...
متن کاملX-Ray/Gamma-Ray Observations of the PSR B1259−63/SS 2883 system near Apastron
We report the results from X-ray and hard X-ray observations of the PSR B1259−63/SS 2883 system with the ASCA and CGRO satellites, performed between 1995 February and 1996 January when the pulsar was near apastron. The system was clearly detected in each of the two ASCA observations with luminosity in the 1–10 keV band of LX = (9 ± 3) × 10 32 (d/2 kpc) erg s, while CGRO/OSSE did not detect sign...
متن کاملHard X-Ray Spectroscopy and Pulsar Phase Analysis of the Bursting X-Ray Pulsar GRO J1744{28 with OSSE
We report OSSE observations of the bursting X-ray pulsar GRO J1744{28 made in December 1995 and January 1996 at hard X-ray energies > 35 keV. The pulse pro le of the persistent (i.e. non-bursting) pulsar emission is t with a sinusoid in the energy range 35{90 keV. Residuals reveal a second harmonic amplitude of 3:0 0:5% of the fundamental. The distribution of time intervals between bursts measu...
