摘要:

我们已经采取了K-波段光谱的样本13前CV,以检查他们的异常化学丰度。特别是,我们研究的12 CO和13 CO吸收带,已被发现减少和增强,分别在类似的研究CV的强度。我们所有的系统都显示出CO丰度在单个恒星观察到的范围内。最弱的12 CO波段相对于光谱类型被发现在前CV BPM 71214,虽然在一个小得多的规模比观察到的CV。此外,没有证据表明13 CO增强。考虑到我们的样本受到目前观测偏差的影响,有利于发现年轻的前CV,其二级恒星的光谱类型较晚,我们可以得出以下结论:1)我们的研究提供了观测证据,证明在某些CV中发现的CO异常不是由于在共同包络阶段获得的任何物质,2)如果某些CV中的CO异常不是由于新星爆发期间处理过的物质的吸积,则这些CV的祖先与目前已知的前CV样品具有显著不同的类型。

英文摘要:

We have taken K-band spectroscopy of a sample of 13 pre-CVs in order to examine them for anomalous chemical abundances. In particular, we study the strength of the 12CO and 13CO absorption bands that have been found diminished and enhanced, respectively, in similar studies of CVs. All our systems show CO abundances that are within the range observed for single stars. The weakest 12CO bands with respect to the spectral type are found in the pre-CV BPM 71214, although on a much smaller scale than observed in CVs. Furthermore there is no evidence for enhanced 13CO. Taking into account that our sample is subject to the present observational bias that favours the discovery of young pre-CVs with secondary stars of late spectral types, we can conclude the following: 1) our study provides observational proof that the CO anomalies discovered in certain CVs are not due to any material acquired during the common envelope phase, and 2) if the CO anomalies in certain CVs are not due to accretion of processed material during nova outburst, then the progenitors of these CVs are of a significantly different type than the currently known sample of pre-CVs.
