アブストラクト
We report the results from X-ray and hard X-ray observations of the PSR B1259-63-SS 2883 system with ASCA and the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO), performed between 1995 February and 1996 January when the pulsar was near apastron. The system was clearly detected in each of the two ASCA observations with luminosity in the 1-10 keV band of L_X=(9+/-3)x10^32 (d/2 kpc)^2 ergs s^-1, while CGRO-OSSE did not detect significant hard X-rays from the system. X-ray spectra obtained with ASCA are well fitted by a single power-law spectrum with a photon index of 1.6+/-0.3. No pulsations were detected in either the ASCA or the OSSE data. We combine all existing X-ray and hard X-ray observations and present the orbital modulation in the luminosity and photon index for the entire orbit. The results are in agreement with predictions based on a synchrotron emission model from relativistic particles in a shocked pulsar wind interacting with the gaseous outflow from the Be star.
