NGC 4449中超铝富氧超新星遗迹的性质

The Nature of the Ultraluminous Oxygen-Rich Supernova Remnant in NGC 4449

Dan Milisavljevic, Robert Fesen

摘要:

本文介绍了不规则星系NGC 4449中年轻的富氧超新星遗迹的地面和哈勃空间望远镜(HST)的光学图像和光谱。使用ACS/WFC,使用滤波器F435 W、F555 W、F814 W(分别为B、V和I)、F502 N([O III])、F658 N(Halpha + [N II])、F660 N([N II])和F550 M(无线连续体),获得残留物及其局部区域的HST图像。这些图像显示了一个未解析的残骸(FWHM < 0.05 arcsec),位于一个丰富的OB星团内,该星团本身被一个几乎完整的星际壳层包围,最好的是在Halalpha + [N II]发射中看到的,大小约为8“x 6”(150 pc x 110 pc)。残骸和它的伴生OB星团是从附近两个大的H II区中分离出来的。ACS [O III]图像显示残骸可能部分被直径约1“(~20 pc)的发射团环包围。最新的地面光谱显示:(1)出现了[S Ⅱ] 6716,6731,[Ar Ⅲ] 7136和[Ca Ⅱ] 7291,7324的宽的蓝移发射线,这在1978 - 1980年的光谱中是没有观测到的;(2)以H α和[N Ⅱ] 6548,6583为中心的6540 - 6605埃的弱辐射,膨胀速度为500 +/-100 km/s;(3)在4600 - 4700 A附近有过量的辐射,表明在残骸星团中存在沃尔夫-拉叶星群。我们使用这些新的数据来重新解释的残余物的长期和明亮的光度的起源,并提出残余物是强烈的相互作用与密集的,星周风损失材料从~20 Msolar祖星。

英文摘要:

Optical images and spectra, both ground based and taken by Hubble Space Telescope (HST), of the young, luminous O-rich supernova remnant in the irregular galaxy NGC 4449 are presented. HST images of the remnant and its local region were obtained with the ACS/WFC using filters F435W, F555W, F814W (B, V, and I, respectively), F502N ([O III]), F658N (Halpha + [N II]), F660N ([N II]), and F550M (line-free continuum). These images show an unresolved remnant (FWHM < 0.05 arcsec) located within a rich cluster of OB stars which itself is enclosed by a nearly complete interstellar shell seen best in Halpha + [N II] emission approximately 8'' x 6'' (150 pc x 110 pc) in size. The remnant and its associated OB cluster are isolated from two large nearby H II regions. The ACS [O III] image shows the remnant may be partially surrounded by a clumpy ring of emission approximately 1'' (~20 pc) in diameter. Recent ground-based spectra of the remnant reveal (1) the emergence of broad, blueshifted emission lines of [S II] 6716, 6731, [Ar III] 7136, and [Ca II] 7291, 7324 which were not observed in spectra taken in 1978 -- 1980; (2) faint emission at 6540 -- 6605 A centered about Halpha and [N II] 6548, 6583 with an expansion velocity of 500 +/- 100 km/s; and (3) excess emission around 4600 -- 4700 A suggestive of a Wolf-Rayet population in the remnant's star cluster. We use these new data to re-interpret the origin of the remnant's prolonged and bright luminosity and propose that the remnant is strongly interacting with dense, circumstellar wind loss material from a ~20 Msolar progenitor star.
