摘要:

用WR(Wolf Rayet)伴风粒子模拟方法研究了天鹅座X-3环双星包层的形成。计算了该包层中电子散射吸收的光变曲线,并与IBIS/ISGRI和BATSE光变曲线进行了比较。匹配度比较好。对于合理的二元参数值(质量,倾角)和风速,一个稳定的包络线形成在几个二元轨道。假设WR风的速率约为10^-6太阳质量/年,则可以重现观测到的光变曲线和吸积光度(假设电离的富氦包层中存在汤姆逊散射不透明度)。照明的信封也可以使用光致电离XSTAR代码的CHANDRA光谱模型。此外,我们讨论了所观察到的径向速度曲线的红外发射线的模拟速度场的背景下,找到很好的协议。

英文摘要:

The formation of the circumbinary envelope of Cygnus X-3 was studied by particle simulations of the WR (Wolf Rayet) companion wind. Light curves resulting from electron scattering absorption in this envelope were computed and compared with observed IBIS/ISGRI and BATSE light curves. The matching was relatively good. For reasonable values of binary parameters (masses, inclination) and wind velocities, a stable envelope was formed during a few binary orbits. Assuming approximately 10^-6 solar mass/year for the rate of the WR-wind, the observed light curves and accretion luminosity can be re-produced (assuming Thomson scattering opacity in the ionized He-rich envelope). The illuminated envelope can also model the CHANDRA-spectrum using the photoionizing XSTAR-code. Furthermore, we discuss observed radial velocity curves of IR emission lines in the context of simulated velocity fields and find good agreement.
