Title: X-ray Observations of New Gamma-ray Pulsars Discovered by Fermi LAT


1
X-ray Observations ofNew Gamma-ray
PulsarsDiscovered by Fermi LAT
  • Nobuyuki Kawaiand Yoshikazu Kanai
  • (Tokyo Tech)
  • On behalf ofFermi/LAT Collaboration

2
Motivation
  • Fermi LAT detected 55 pulsars including 24 new
    ones
  • X-ray observations are essential for those
    newcomers

(1) X-ray counterparts can give unique
information of precise positions in the sky
if the sources cannot be found in the radio
survey (2) Gamma-ray studies cannot find any
differences between radio-loud and
radio-quiet pulsars but how about X-ray
properties?
3
Suzaku Observations
  • - 12 pulsars, 280 ks in total for AO4
  • XIS nominal position
  • No window/burst/timing option- Detecting
    pulsation is NOT aimed
  • 9 pulsars observed as of today

Results Overview
  • X-ray counterparts are found for most of the
    targets
  • Only one target lacks obvious counterpart...
    Nearby source is analyzed
  • PL or PL BB model is preferred

Preliminary
  • Known radio pulsars
  • are radio pulsars
  • Detected by Fermi LAT
  • and
  • Studied in X-ray band.
  • Including 5 EGRET PSRs

Distribution of photon index similar to known
pulsars.

Fermi LAT can find fainter PSRs
More complete population studies

Summary
  • We are observing Fermi LAT pulsars with Suzaku
  • Faint X-ray counterparts are found for most of
    targets
  • Power-law component found for all sources
  • Properties similar to those of gamma-ray
    pulsars with radio emission

Further X-ray observations are ongoingwith
Chandra and XMM-Newton
