摘要:

光学光度和光谱数据显示,在NGC 7331的超明亮的X射线源与一个年轻的星团质量1.1e5太阳质量和年龄4.25百万年的协会。如果ULX是明亮的星团的一部分,那么致密吸积体的前身的质量必须大于大约40-50个太阳质量,以便已经通过超新星阶段演化为致密物体。这颗伴星也可能是一颗演化的大质量恒星。围绕星团的星云的发射线光谱可以解释为星团OB星的光电离的结果,并有额外的冲击激发源产生强的[SII],[OI]和NII线。这个额外的来源似乎比星团中的超新星和恒星风所能提供的能量大五倍。与ULX本身相关的额外机械能输入有助于解释发射区的剩余激波激发线亮度。

英文摘要:

Optical photometric and spectroscopic data are presented that show an association of an ultraluminous X-ray source in NGC 7331 with a young star cluster of mass 1.1e5 solar masses and age 4.25 Myr. If the ULX is part of the bright stellar cluster, then the mass of the progenitor of the compact accretor must have been greater than about 40-50 solar masses in order to already have evolved through the supernova stage to a compact object. The companion star is also likely an evolved massive star. The emission line spectrum of the nebula surrounding the cluster can be interpreted as a result of photoionization by the cluster OB stars with an additional source of shock excitation producing strong [SII], [OI] and NII lines. This additional source appears to be as much as five times more powerful than the supernovae and stellar winds in the cluster can provide. Additional mechanical energy input associated with the ULX itself can help explain the residual shock excited line luminosities of the emission region.
