Based on these hard X-ray observations, the orbital parameters are measured through fitting the Doppler-shifted spin periods. The derived orbital period and eccentricity are consistent with those of Stella et al. (1985) obtained from EXOSAT observations, whereas the projected semimajor axis and the periastron longitude are found to have changed from 48$pm$4 to 86$^{+6}_{-10}$ lt-s and from 313$^{circ}$$pm$10 to 283$^{circ}$$pm$14, respectively. This would indicate an angular speed of $geq$ 1.5$^{circ}$$pm$0.8 yr$^{-1}$ for rotation of the orbit over the past 21 years. The periastron passage time of MJD 53367$pm$1 is just around the time when the intensity reached maximum and an orbital period earlier is the time when the outburst started. This correlation resembles the behavior of a Type I outburst. During outburst the source spun up with a rate of 8.01$^{+1.00}_{-1.14}$$ imes10^{-6}$ s day$^{-1}$. The evolution of pulse profile is highly intensity dependent. The separation of double pulses remained almost constant ($sim$ 0.47) when the source was bright, and dropped to 0.37 within $leq$ 3 days as the source became weaker. The pulse evolution of V0332+53 may correlate to the change in dominance of the emission between fan-beam and pencil-beam mechanisms. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0507468 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
