Embodiment

[0049] Step 1: Determine the observed pulsar and record its pulse period P under static conditions 0 with the standard profile s(n). In this example, the observed pulsar is PSR B0531+21, and its pulse period under static conditions is P 0 = 33.085ms. The observation starting point is τ 0 =55746.0MJD, processing step τ s =1s, observation time length τ obs = 2s. The arrival time of all photons is collected in the observation period, denoted as τ k (k=1,2,3,...). The total number of sampling points N=1024.

[0050] Step 2: For the first group of photon arrival time series τ k ∈[0s,1s], the folding is performed according to the pulse period P0 under static conditions, and the folding reference point is taken as 0.5s. First define the measurement pulse profile c(n)=0, (n=1,2,...,1024), if the arrival time of the kth photon satisfies:

[0051]

[0052] Where {} means rounding up, it is considered that the photon arrival time corresponds to the nth time grid of the foldi...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for estimating the X-ray pulsar phase based on loop circuit tracking. The method comprises the following steps: (1) a pulsar is determined and observed, and the pulse period P0 and the standard outline s(n) of the pulsar under the static condition are recorded; (2) within the observation time quantum, the arrival time of all the observed pulsar quantum photons is recorded; (3) the quantum photon arrival time series within the first tau s duration are superimposed to generate a measured pulse outline c(n) according to the pulse period P0 under the static condition; (4) the phase difference estimated value phi- of s(n) and c(n) is evaluated; (5) a one-order filter and a three-order filter are selected and combined to perform filtration on the phase difference estimated value phi- to obtain the frequency and phase feedback update information delta f and delta phi; (6) the delta f is utilized to correct the pulse period P0 under the static condition to obtain the corrected pulse period P- and obtain a new measured pulse outline c-(n) within the next tau s duration; (7) the delta phi is utilized to correct the standard outline s(n) to obtain the corrected standard pulse outline s-(n); (8) according to the s-(n) and the c-(n), the new phase difference estimated value phi-^ is obtained.
