Abstract

We present an analysis of the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer observation from a newly discovered transient source: Swift J151857.0–572147. The obtained polarization degree (PD) and angle are 0.3% ± 0.3% and −24° ± 26° respectively in 2–8 keV within 68% confidence level errors, and polarization results are below MDP99 in all energy bins, with the upper limit on PD of 0.8% in the 2–8 keV energy range. No quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are detected in this observation. The polarization and QPO analyses support the hypothesis that the source was in the high soft state, and the results are consistent with predictions for a thin accretion disk model.

利用 IXPE 观测对 Swift J151857.0-572147 进行极化研究

我们将对来自一个新发现的瞬变源的成像 X 射线偏振探测仪观测数据进行分析：Swift J151857.0-572147。获得的偏振度（PD）和偏振角分别为 0.3% ± 0.3% 和 -24° ± 26°（2-8keV），置信度误差在 68% 以内，偏振结果在所有能量段都低于 MDP99，2-8keV 能量范围内的偏振度上限为 0.8%。在这次观测中没有发现准周期振荡（QPO）。偏振和 QPO 分析支持了源处于高软状态的假设，结果与薄吸积盘模型的预测一致。
