摘要

We report on the first observation of an X-ray outburst of a Be/X-ray binary pulsar, LSV+44 17/RXJ0440.9+4431, and the discovery of an absorption dip structure in the pulse profile. An outburst of this source was discovered by MAXI GSC in 2010 April. It was the first detection of transient activity of LSV+44 17 since the source was identified as a Be/X-ray binary in 1997. From the data of a follow-up RXTE observation near the peak of the outburst, we found a narrow dip structure in its pulse profile, which was clearer in the lower-energy bands. The pulse-phase-averaged energy spectra in the 3-100 keV band could be fitted with a continuum model containing a power-law function with an exponential cutoff and a blackbody component, which are modified at low energy by an absorption component. A weak iron Kα emission line was also detected in the spectra. From the pulse-phase-resolved spectroscopy we found that the absorption column density at the dip phase was much higher than those in the other phases. The dip was not seen in subsequent RXTE observations at lower flux levels. These results suggest that the dip in the pulse profile originates from the eclipse of the radiation from the neutron star by the accretion column.
