关于NGC300 X-1的光学对应体和NGC300的整体Wolf-Rayet容度

On the optical counterpart of NGC300 X-1 and the global Wolf-Rayet content of NGC300

摘要:

对附近星系中Wolf-Rayet(WR)群体的调查提供了对进化模型以及Ib/c型超新星祖先的测试。这项光谱研究补充了Schild等人最近对螺旋星系NGC 300的成像调查。(目的):对NGC 300已知WR内容进行了修订。我们研究了Schild等人的候选者#41的WR性质,它在空间上与明亮的X射线点源NGC 300 X-1重合;(方法)获得了NGC 300中WR候选者的VLT/FORS 2多目标光谱;(结果)我们建立了#41的早期型WN性质,即类似于IC 10 X-1的光学对应物,它非常类似于NGC 300 X-1。我们确认了9颗新的WR星,使目前的内部盘WR普查达到31,N(WC)/N(WN)~0.9。(结论:)如果41号是NGC 300 X-1的光学对应物,我们基于地基测光估计WR质量为38 Msun,由此得出黑洞质量> 10 Msun是由于系统的32.8 hr周期和WR风速为1250 km/s。我们估计WC星的完整性为95%,WN星的完整性为70%,因此总WR含量约为40,N(WC)/N(WN)约为0.7。根据内星系的恒星形成率,我们推断N(WR)/N(O)~0.04

英文摘要:

(Conext:) Surveys of Wolf-Rayet (WR) populations in nearby galaxies provide tests of evolutionary models plus Type Ib/c supernova progenitors. This spectroscopic study complements the recent imaging survey of the spiral galaxy NGC 300 by Schild et al. (Aims): Revisions to the known WR content of NGC 300 are presented. We investigate the WR nature of candidate #41 from Schild et al. which is spatially coincident with the bright X-ray point source NGC 300 X-1; (Methods:) VLT/FORS2 multi-object spectroscopy of WR candidates in NGC 300 is obtained; (Results:) We establish an early-type WN nature of #41, i.e. similar to the optical counterpart of IC 10 X-1, which closely resembles NGC 300 X-1. We confirm 9 new WR stars, bringing the current WR census of the inner disk to 31, with N(WC)/N(WN)~0.9. (Conclusions:) If #41 is the optical counterpart for NGC 300 X-1, we estimate a WR mass of 38 Msun based upon ground-based photometry, from which a black hole mass of > 10 Msun results from the 32.8 hr period of the system and WR wind velocity of 1250 km/s. We estimate an 95% completeness among WC stars and 70% among WN stars, such that the total WR content is ~40, with N(WC)/N(WN)~0.7. From the Halpha-derived star formation rate of the inner galaxy, we infer N(WR)/N(O)~0.04
