矮新星SS Cyg在爆发周期期间的合成NLTE吸积盘光谱

Synthetic NLTE accretion disc spectra for the dwarf nova SS Cyg during an outburst cycle

M. Kromer, T. Nagel, K. Werner

摘要:

矮新星爆发是由于激变变星系统的吸积盘增强了物质的传输。我们评估的问题,这些爆发是由增强的质量转移从晚型主序星到白矮星(所谓的质量转移不稳定性模型,MTI)或在吸积盘的热不稳定性(盘不稳定性模型,DIM)。我们计算非LTE模型和光谱的吸积盘在平静和爆发,并构建光谱时间序列的光盘在一个完整的爆发周期。然后,我们比较我们的光谱发表的光谱的矮新星SS天鹅座。特别是,我们调查的氢和氦线的轮廓,从发射到吸收的上升过程中爆发。在上升到爆发和下降过程中的氢和氦线轮廓的演变显然有利于盘不稳定模型。我们的光谱模型序列使我们能够区分由内而外和由外而外的移动加热波在光盘的SS天鹅座,这可以与对称和不对称的爆发光变曲线,分别。

英文摘要:

Dwarf nova outbursts result from enhanced mass transport through the accretion disc of a cataclysmic variable system. We assess the question of whether these outbursts are caused by an enhanced mass transfer from the late-type main sequence star onto the white dwarf (so-called mass transfer instability model, MTI) or by a thermal instability in the accretion disc (disc instability model, DIM). We compute non-LTE models and spectra of accretion discs in quiescence and outburst and construct spectral time sequences for discs over a complete outburst cycle. We then compare our spectra to published optical spectroscopy of the dwarf nova SS Cygni. In particular, we investigate the hydrogen and helium line profiles that are turning from emission into absorption during the rise to outburst. The evolution of the hydrogen and helium line profiles during the rise to outburst and decline clearly favour the disc-instability model. Our spectral model sequences allow us to distinguish inside-out and outside-in moving heating waves in the disc of SS Cygni, which can be related to symmetric and asymmetric outburst light curves, respectively.
