Broad-band spectral properties of accreting X-ray binary pulsars

Broad-band spectra of accreting X-ray binary pulsars can be fitted by a phenomenological model composed of a power law with a high energy rollover above 10 keV, plus a blackbody component with a temperature of few hundred eV. While, at least qualitatively, the hard tail can be explained in terms of (inverse) Compton scattering, the origin of the soft component cannot find a unique explanation. Recently, a qualitative picture able to explain the overall broad-band spectrum of luminous X-ray pulsars was carried out by taking into account the effect of bulk Comptonization in the accretion column. After a review of these recent theoretical developments, I will present a case study of how different modeling of the continuum affect broad features, in particular the cyclotron resonance features in Vela X-1.     

Orbital phase spectroscopy of four high mass X-ray binary pulsars to study the stellar wind of the companion

Our work focuses on a comprehensive orbital phase-dependent spectroscopy of the four High Mass X-ray Binary Pulsars (HMXBPs) 4U 1538-52, GX 301-2, OAO 1657-415 and Vela X-1. We hereby report the measurements of the variation of the absorption column density and iron-line flux along with other spectral parameters over the binary orbit for the above-mentioned HMXBPs in elliptical orbits, as observed with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) and the BeppoSAX satellites. A spherically symmetric wind profile was used as a model to compare the observed column density variations. Out of the four pulsars, only in 4U 1538-52, we find the model having a reasonable corroboration with the observations, whereas in the remaining three the stellar wind seems to be clumpy and a smooth symmetric stellar wind model appears to be quite inadequate in explaining the data. Moreover, in GX 301-2, neither the presence of a disk nor a gas stream from the companion was validated. Furthermore, the spectral results obtained in the case of OAO 1657-415 and Vela X-1 were more or less similar to that of GX 301-2.

Multiband echo tomography of Sco X-1

We present preliminary results of a simultaneous X-ray/optical campaign of the prototypical LMXB Sco X-1 at 1–10 Hz time resolution. Lightcurves of the high excitation Bowen/HeII emission lines and a red continuum at λ_c  6000 Å were obtained through narrow interference filters with ULTRACAM, and these were cross-correlated with simultaneous RXTE X-ray lightcurves. We find evidence for correlated variability, in particular when Sco X-1 enters the Flaring branch. The Bowen/HeII lightcurves lag the X-ray lightcurves with a light travel time which is consistent with reprocessing in the companion star while the continuum lightcurves have shorter delays consistent with reprocessing in the accretion disc.

X-34主推进系统输送管路的流动分析

X-34主推进系统(MPS)管路结构包括液氧(LOX)和火箭推进剂#1(RP-1)的输送管路。这些管路的流动分析已经完成并已编入相关文献中,分析结果表明:在管路入口处,有相对较低的流动畸变,在发动机接口有近乎均匀的流动分离。近来,已建议对主推进系统的管路结构进行新的改进设计。新的结构为:把RP-1管路中弯管的曲率半径变得更小;在常平座间加了一段缩颈结构。相反地,液氧管路的结构和原来的结构非常相似。许多人认为在发动机接口处,新的RP-1管路结构比原结构会产生更大的流动畸变。为了解决这个问题,应用计算流体动力(CFD)分析,确定了新RP-1输送管路的内流场。     

优化镍基高温合金X-750热处理工艺参数的非线性超声无损评估方法

为了获得更好的材料性能,需要对热处理工艺参数进行精确地优化。非线性超声无损检测技术是一种可以有效表征材料微观结构状态变化的评估方法,可以用来评估、优化热处理工艺参数。利用非线性超声波对热处理后的X-750合金材料进行评估,根据超声传播的非线性响应不同,对材料的性能变化做出判断,并与线性超声检测技术的评估结果进行了对比研究。研究发现经过热处理之后,材料性能显著提高,在其中传播的超声非线性响应则明显下降。材料经过热处理后性能提升越大,其声学非线性响应就会变得越小。根据超声波传播的非线性响应定性评估了3种不同的热处理工艺,明确了最优的镍基高温合金X-750退火工艺参数。研究证实了非线性超声方法的敏感度优于传统的线性超声评估方法,可以对材料的热处理效果进行无损评估,从而对热处理工艺参数进行优化与完善。
