大质量星团Westerlund 1的射电观测

Radio observations of the massive stellar cluster Westerlund 1

Sean M. Dougherty, J. Simon Clark

摘要:

Westerlund 1的高动态范围无线电观测,发现在年轻的大质量星团,在银河系中的任何年轻的大质量星系团已知的最丰富的人口的无线电发射恒星共21颗恒星。我们将讨论一些更值得注意的天体,包括高度射电发光的超巨星B[e]星W 9,估计其质量损失率约为10^{-3}太阳质量/年,与船底座η星相当,以及几乎所有冷的红超巨星和黄超巨星的热辐射的不寻常探测。X射线观测的有力证据表明,每一颗有射电辐射的WR星都可能是碰撞风双星

英文摘要:

High-dynamic range radio observations of Westerlund 1 are presented that detect a total of 21 stars in the young massive stellar cluster, the richest population of radio emitting stars known for any young massive galactic cluster in the Galaxy. We will discuss some of the more remarkable objects, including the highly radio luminous supergiant B[e] star W9, with an estimated mass-loss rate ~10^{-3} solarmass/yr, comparable to that of eta Carina, along with the somewhat unusual detection of thermal emission from almost all the cool red supergiants and yellow hypergiants. There is strong supporting evidence from X-ray observations that each of the WR stars with radio emission are likely to be colliding-wind binaries
