半人马座X-3Centaurus X-3,缩写为Cen X-3),(4U 1118-60)是X射线脉冲星,周期为4.84秒。 这是在半人马座星座中被发现的第一个X射线脉冲星,也是第三个被发现的X射线源。该系统由一颗中子星绕着一个巨大的O型超巨星型恒星运行,该恒星被称为克热明斯基星(Krzeminski)的恒星,以其发现者波兰的天文学家沃伊切赫·克热明斯基英语Wojciech Krzemiński名字命名。物质从恒星被吸积到中子星上,导致X射线发射

历史

[编辑]

半人马座X-3位于半人马座方向,是第一个发现具有X射线脉冲的X射线源,后被确认为一颗低质量X射线双星。半人马座X-3最早是在1967年发现的[8],1971年乌呼鲁卫星观测到它具有规则的脉冲,周期为4.84秒,同时每隔2.087天脉冲就中断将近12个小时[9]。这表明它是一颗X射线双星,X射线脉冲是由双星系统中中子星发出的,同时因两子星相互绕转而发生周期性的掩食。

系统

[编辑]

半人马座X-3距离太阳约8,000秒差距[10],是一颗典型的低质量X射线双星。它的主星是一颗20.5倍太阳质量的超巨星(克热明斯基星,Krzeminski's star),伴星是一颗1.21倍太阳质量的中子星[11],光度约为1038erg/s[12]
