英文摘要 | Abstract x-ray-dim isolated neutron stars (xdinss) are characterized by planckian spectra in x-ray bands, but show optical/ultraviolet (uv) excesses: the factors by which the measured photometry exceeds those extrapolated from x-ray spectra. to solve this problem, a radiative model of bremsstrahlung emission from a plasma atmosphere is established in the regime of a strangeon star. a strangeon star atmosphere could simply be regarded as the upper layer of a normal neutron star. this plasma atmosphere, formed and maintained by the interstellar-medium-accreted matter due to the so-called strangeness barrier, is supposed to be of two temperatures. all seven xdins spectra could be well fitted by the radiative model, from optical/uv to x-ray bands. the fitted radiation radii of xdinss are from 7 to 13 km, while the modeled electron temperatures are between 50 and 250 ev, except rx j0806.4–4123, with a radiation radius of ~3.5 km, indicating that this source could be a low-mass strangeon star candidate. this strangeon star model could further be tested by soft x-ray polarimetry, such as the lightweight asymmetry and magnetism probe, which is expected to be operational on china’s space station around 2020. |
