Based on the detected spin periods ( $P$ ) and inferred magnetic field strengths ( $B$ ) by the cyclotron resonance scattering features, we analyze the $B-P$ properties of Be/X-ray Pulsars (BeXPs). We find that the $P$ distribution of BeXPs exhibits a bimodal feature separated at $P\sim 40$ s, where the average spin period of the BeXPs with $P>40$ s ( $\langle P\rangle \sim 267$ s) is larger than that of the sources with $P<40$ s ( $\langle P\rangle \sim 10$ s) by about one magnitude of order. Meanwhile, the average magnetic field strength of the long period BeXPs ( $\langle B\rangle \sim 4.9\times 10^{12}$ G) is higher than that of the short period sources ( $\langle B\rangle \sim 2.7\times 10^{12}$ G) by a factor of $\sim 2$ . We try to explain these phenomena by the accretion-induced evolution process, and find that for the neutron star (NS) with the initial magnetic field strength of $B_{0}\sim 10^{12.2}-10^{13}$ G, when it accretes about $\Delta M\sim 10^{-6.5}\,\mathrm{M_{\odot }}$ companion matter, its spin period can shorten from $P_{0}\sim 1000$ s to $P\sim 260$ s, while its magnetic field strength decays little. Furthermore, when the NS accretes about $\Delta M\sim 10^{-5.5}\,\mathrm{M_{\odot }}$ matter, its spin period can shorten to $P\sim 10$ s, while its magnetic field strength decays by half. Finally, we also notice that as the continuing of the accretion process in Be/X-ray binary, when its NS accretes about $\sim 10^{-3}\,\mathrm{M_{\odot }}$ mater, it has the possibility to evolve to the double neutron star.

探索 Be/X 射线脉冲星自旋周期和磁场强度的吸积诱发演化

基于通过回旋共振散射特征检测到的自旋周期 ($P$) 和推断的磁场强度 ($B$),我们分析了 Be/X 射线脉冲星 (BeXPs) 的 $BP$ 特性。我们发现BeXPs的$P$分布表现出在$P\sim 40$ s处分离的双峰特征,其中$P>40$ s的BeXPs的平均自旋周期($\langle P\rangle \sim 267$ s) 比具有 $P<40$ s ( $\langle P\rangle \sim 10$ s) 的源大大约一个数量级。同时,长周期BeXPs($\langle B\rangle \sim 4.9\times 10^{12}$ G)的平均磁场强度高于短周期源( $\langle B\rangle \sim 4.9\times 10^{12}$ G) 2.7\times 10^{12}$ G) 乘以 $\sim 2$ 。我们试图通过吸积诱导的演化过程来解释这些现象,并发现对于初始磁场强度为 $B_{0}\sim 10^{12.2}-10^{13}$ G 的中子星 (NS),当它吸积约 $\Delta M\sim 10^ {-6.5}\,\mathrm{M_{\odot }}$ 伴生物质,其自旋周期可以从 $P_{0}\sim 1000$ s 缩短到 $P\sim 260$ s,同时其磁场强度衰减小的。此外,当 NS 吸积约 $\Delta M\sim 10^{-5.5}\,\mathrm{M_{\odot }}$ 时,它的自旋周期可以缩短到 $P\sim 10$ s,而它的磁性场强衰减一半。最后,我们还注意到,随着 Be/X 射线双星吸积过程的继续,当它的 NS 吸积约 $\sim 10^{-3}\,\mathrm{M_{\odot }}$ mater 时,它有可能演化为双中子星。5}\,\mathrm{M_{\odot }}$伴生物质,其自旋周期可以从$P_{0}\sim 1000$ s缩短到$P\sim 260$ s,而其磁场强度衰减很小。此外,当 NS 吸积约 $\Delta M\sim 10^{-5.5}\,\mathrm{M_{\odot }}$ 时,它的自旋周期可以缩短到 $P\sim 10$ s,而它的磁性场强衰减一半。最后,我们还注意到,随着 Be/X 射线双星吸积过程的继续,当它的 NS 吸积约 $\sim 10^{-3}\,\mathrm{M_{\odot }}$ mater 时,它有可能演化为双中子星。5}\,\mathrm{M_{\odot }}$伴生物质,其自旋周期可以从$P_{0}\sim 1000$ s缩短到$P\sim 260$ s,而其磁场强度衰减很小。此外,当 NS 吸积约 $\Delta M\sim 10^{-5.5}\,\mathrm{M_{\odot }}$ 时,它的自旋周期可以缩短到 $P\sim 10$ s,而它的磁性场强衰减一半。最后,我们还注意到,随着 Be/X 射线双星吸积过程的继续,当它的 NS 吸积约 $\sim 10^{-3}\,\mathrm{M_{\odot }}$ mater 时,它有可能演化为双中子星。它的自旋周期可以缩短到$P\sim 10$ s,而它的磁场强度会衰减一半。最后,我们还注意到,随着 Be/X 射线双星吸积过程的继续,当它的 NS 吸积约 $\sim 10^{-3}\,\mathrm{M_{\odot }}$ mater 时,它有可能演化为双中子星。它的自旋周期可以缩短到$P\sim 10$ s,而它的磁场强度会衰减一半。最后,我们还注意到,随着 Be/X 射线双星吸积过程的继续,当它的 NS 吸积约 $\sim 10^{-3}\,\mathrm{M_{\odot }}$ mater 时,它有可能演化为双中子星。
