27 Apr 2015 | | Abstract: | We report on simultaneous observations of the magnetar SGR J1745-2900 at
frequencies $
u = 2.57$ to $225,
m{GHz}$ using the Nancay 94-m equivalent,
Effelsberg 100-m, and IRAM 30-m radio telescopes. We detect SGR J1745-2900 up
to 225 GHz, the highest radio frequency detection of pulsed emission from a
neutron star to date. Strong single pulses are also observed from 4.85 up to
154 GHz. At the millimetre band we see significant flux density and spectral
index variabilities on time scales of tens of minutes, plus variability between
days at all frequencies. Additionally, SGR J1745-2900 was observed at a
different epoch at frequencies 296 to 472 GHz using the APEX 12-m radio
telescope, with no detections. Over the period MJD 56859.83-56862.93 the fitted
spectrum yields a spectral index of $left<alpha
ight> = -0.4 pm 0.1$ for a
reference flux density $left< S_{154}
ight> = 1.1 pm 0.2
m{,mJy}$ (with
$S_{
u} propto {
u}^{alpha})$, a flat spectrum alike those of the other
radio loud magnetars. These results show that strongly magnetized neutron stars
can be effective radio emitters at frequencies notably higher to what was
previously known and that pulsar searches in the Galactic Centre are possible
in the millimetre band. | | Source: | arXiv, 1504.7241 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
