摘要:

我们使用8米Subaru望远镜上的近红外相机(CIAO)获得了IRAS 19312 + 1950的H波段偏振数据。为了研究中心恒星和星云的物理性质,我们进行了尘埃辐射转移模拟,并将模拟结果与观测到的光谱能量分布(SED)、总强度图像的径向轮廓和线偏振图的分数进行了比较。总强度图像显示了一个近似球形的核心,半径约为3 ",一个S形臂在西北向东南方向延伸约10",以及一个向西南方向延伸的瓣。偏振图显示几乎整个星云都是中心对称的矢量排列,沿着S形臂的偏振很低。这些结果表明星云有一颗中心恒星相伴,S形臂具有物理上的环状结构。根据我们的辐射转移模型,我们估计恒星的温度、热光度和当前的质量损失率分别为2800 K、7000 L太阳和5.3 × 10 ^{-6} M太阳年^{-1}。结合以往的观测结果,如10 $μ$ m光谱中SiO脉泽发射和硅酸盐吸收特征的探测,我们基于近红外成像偏振测量的尘埃辐射转移分析表明:(1)IRAS 19312 + 1950的中心星可能是一颗富氧星,(2)大多数星周物质来自其他来源(如周围的暗云),而不是来自中心恒星的质量损失。

英文摘要:

We obtained H-band polarimetric data of IRAS 19312+1950 using the near-infrared camera (CIAO) on the 8 m Subaru telescope. In order to investigate the physical properties of the central star and the nebula, we performed dust radiative transfer modeling and compared the model results with the observed spectral energy distributions (SEDs), the radial profiles of the total intensity image, and the fraction of linear polarization map. The total intensity image shows a nearly spherical core with ~3" radius, an S-shaped arm extending ~10" in the northwest to southeast direction, and an extended lobe towards the southwest. The polarization map shows a centro-symmetric vector alignment in almost the entire nebula and low polarizations along the S-shaped arm. These results suggest that the nebula is accompanied by a central star, and the S-shaped arm has a physically ring-like structure. From our radiative transfer modeling, we estimated the stellar temperature, the bolometric luminosity, and the current mass-loss rate to be 2800 K, 7000 L_sun, and 5.3x10^{-6} M_sun yr^{-1}, respectively. Taking into account previous observational results, such as the detection of SiO maser emissions and silicate absorption feature in the 10 $μ$m spectrum, our dust radiative transfer analysis based on our NIR imaging polarimetry suggests that (1) the central star of IRAS 19312+1950 is likely to be an oxygen-rich, dust-enshrouded AGB star and (2) most of the circumstellar material originates from other sources (e.g. ambient dark clouds) rather than as a result of mass loss from the central star.
