Data pubblicazione: | 2016 | Rivista: | THE ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS | Numero: | 819 | Fascicolo: | 2 | Da pagina:: | L29 | Abstract: | We present NuSTAR and Swift observations of the neutron star Aquila X-1 during the peak of its 2014 July outburst. The spectrum is soft with strong evidence for a broad Fe Kα line. Modeled with a relativistically broadened reflection model, we find that the inner disk is truncated with an inner radius of 15+/- 3{R}<SUB>G</SUB>. The disk is likely truncated by either the boundary layer and/or a magnetic field. Associating the truncated inner disk with pressure from a magnetic field gives an upper limit of B\lt 5+/- 2× {10}<SUP>8</SUP> G. Although the radius is truncated far from the stellar surface, material is still reaching the neutron star surface as evidenced by the X-ray burst present in the NuSTAR observation. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/25869 | URL: | https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8205/819/2/L29 | ISSN: | 2041-8205 | DOI: | 10.3847/2041-8205/819/2/L29 | Bibcode ADS: | 2016ApJ...819L..29K | Fulltext: | open |
