Where are the RRATs in the Neutron Star Zoo
收藏资源简介:
RRAT J18191458 is a radiobursting neutron star with a high magnetic field. TheXray spectrum detected by Chandra and XMMNewton is thermal, fit well by ablackbody with kT virgul 0.1 keV with a possible excess at high energies. Theemitting area is consistent with the whole surface of the star. XMM AO5observations reveal a 10 sigma sinusoidal pulsation with 30% pulsed fraction. Werequest 94virgulks on J18191458 with aims to: i) perform pulse phaseresolvedspectroscopy, which will allow us to disentangle the emission substructure andmap the magnetic and thermal surface and ii) search for spectral absorptionfeatures, which will provide an independent magnetic field estimate. This willprobe the unusual properties of the RRATs in a way not possible with radio observations. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
