Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We report the detection of a sudden spin-up of the 11 s anomalous X-ray pulsar 1RXS J170849.0-4000910 in regular timing observations made with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. The event, which occurred between MJD 51446 (1999 September 25) and 51472 (1999 October 21), is well characterized by an increase in the rotational frequency of magnitude (Delta nu / nu) = (6.2 +/- 0.3) x 10^-7 and an increase in the rate of spin down (Delta \\dot\\nu / \\dot\\nu) = (1.38 +/- 0.25) x 10^-2. These values are very similar to those of glitches observed in the Vela radio pulsar and other young radio pulsars. The event therefore suggests that the internal structure of this anomalous X-ray pulsar is similar to those of the radio pulsars. In particular, it implies that the fractional moment of inertia in neutron superfluid that is not corotating with the crust is >= 1 %. The detection of a glitch in this anomalous X-ray pulsar constrains models for the origin of glitches in neutron stars. Most notably, it challenges models that preclude glitches in long-period pulsars, and, under the magnetar hypothesis, suggests that large glitches can occur in hot neutron stars. The glitch is consistent with the predictions of the magnetar model for anomalous X-ray pulsars, but accretion-powered scenarios cannot be excluded using our observations alone.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
