摘 要:PSR J1946+3417 is a millisecond pulsar(MSP)with a spin period P?3.17 *** in a binary with an orbital period Pb?27 days,the MSP is accompanied by a white dwarf(WD).The masses of the MSP and the WD were determined to be 1.83 M⊙,and 0.266 M⊙,***,its orbital eccentricity is e?0.134,which is challenging the recycling model of *** that the neutron star in a binary may collapse to a strange star when its mass reaches a critical limit,we propose a phase transition(PT)scenario to account for the origin of the *** sudden mass loss and the kick induced by asymmetric collapse during the PT may result in the orbital *** the PT event takes place after the mass transfer ceases,the eccentric orbit cannot be re-circularized in the Hubble *** at the masses of both components,we simulate the evolution of the progenitor of PSR J1946+3417 via *** simulations show that an NS/main sequence star binary with initial masses of 1.4+1.6 M⊙in an initial orbit of 2.59 days will evolve into a binary consisting of a 2.0 M⊙MSP and a 0.27 M⊙WD in an orbit of~21.5 *** that the gravitational mass loss fraction during PT is 10%,we simulate the effect of PT via the kick program of BSE with a velocity ofσPT=60 km *** results show that the PT scenario can reproduce the observed orbital period and eccentricity with higher probability than other values.
