基于X射线脉冲星的自主轨道确定 Introduction X-raypulsarsarehighlymagnetic,rotatingneutronstarsthatemitX-raysinahighlydirectionalbeam.TheobservedtimingoftheseX-raypulsesisaffectedbymanyfactors,includingthegravitationalpullofnearbybodies,thestar'srotation,andtheorientationofthebeamtowardsEarth.Inthispaper,wewilldiscussmethodsfordeterminingtheorbitofthesepulsarsusingavarietyofobservationaltechniques. ObservationalTechniques ThereareseveralobservationaltechniquesusedtostudyX-raypulsars,includinghigh-energytimingobservations,X-rayspectroscopy,andradiointerferometry.Eachtechniqueprovidesdifferentinformationaboutthepulsaranditsenvironment.
