标题： ROSAT observations of the radio and gamma-ray pulsar PSR 1706-44

摘要： We report on the detection of PSR 1706-44 in two ROSAT-PSPC observations. The recorded source counts are unpulsed with a $2\sigma$ pulsed fraction upper limit of 18%. Spectral analysis did not distinguish between black-body and power law models; however, we argue that the lack of pulsations and the similarity in the pulsar's spin parameters to those of the Vela pulsar favour a power law model $dN/dE\propto E^{-2.4\pm 0.6}$ and indicate synchrotron emission from a pulsar-powered nebula as the origin of the detected X-radiation. The X-ray flux derived for the power law model is f_x=3.2^{+6.5}_{-1.8} x E-12 erg/ s/ cm^2 within the 0.1-2.4 keV energy range. An upper limit for the neutron star's surface temperature is put at Log T_s^\infty \sim 6.03 K for a neutron star with a medium stiff equation of state (FP-model with M=1.4 Mo, R=10.85 km). Slightly different values for $T_s^\infty$ are computed for the various neutron star models available in the literature, reflecting the difference in the equation of state. No soft X-ray emission is detected from the supernova remnant G343.1-2.3, proposed to be associated with PSR 1706-44. 显示英文摘要
