论文摘要
我们研究了几十年的长期X射线变化,其中包含中子星(NS-LMXB)的明亮低质量X射线二进制物。 Maxi/GSC和RXTE/ASM的光曲线覆盖$ \ sim $ 26年,高质量的X射线光曲线是从33 NS-LMXB中获得的。其中,与Ginga/ASM一起,两个来源(GX 3 $+$ 1和GX 9 $+$ 1)显示出明显的正弦变化,$ \ sim 5 $ yr和$ \ sim 10 $ yr在34年的光线曲线中。他们的X射线照明量为$(1-4)\ times10^{37} $ erg s $^{ - 1} $在NS-LMXB的光度分布的中间。其他七个来源(Ser X-1,4U 1735--444,GX 9 $+$ 9,4U 1746 $ - $ 37,4U 1708 $ - $ 40,4U 1822 $ - $ 000和1A 1246 $ - $ -588)也具有类似的正弦变化,尽管有类似的正弦变化,但cliles(glibsitiles offiles(gliless)(glituiles(glituile,opplitude,operputie,operce,execiple and apeciple and apeas and apeas)是可变的)。与已知的轨道周期相结合的21个来源,长期正弦变异的可能原因可能是辐射对供体恒星引起的传质周期。
We investigated the decades' long-term X-ray variations in bright low-mass X-ray binaries containing a neutron star (NS-LMXB). The light curves of MAXI/GSC and RXTE/ASM covers $\sim$ 26 yr, and high-quality X-ray light curves are obtained from 33 NS-LMXBs. Among them, together with Ginga/ASM, two sources (GX 3$+$1 and GX 9$+$1) showed an apparent sinusoidal variation with the period of $\sim 5$ yr and $\sim 10$ yr in the 34 yr light curve. Their X-ray luminosities were $(1-4)\times10^{37}$ erg s$^{-1}$ in the middle of the luminosity distribution of the NS-LMXB. Other seven sources (Ser X-1, 4U 1735--444, GX 9$+$9, 4U 1746$-$37, 4U 1708$-$40, 4U 1822$-$000, and 1A 1246$-$588) have also similar sinusoidal variation, although the profiles (amplitude, period, and phase) are variable. Compering the 21 sources with known orbital periods, a possible cause of the long-term sinusoidal variation might be the mass transfer cycles induced by the irradiation to the donor star.
