摘要:

我们目前的相位分辨低分辨率红外光谱的极性EF波江座获得了一段时间的2年内与DAC的IRTF。光谱,覆盖的波长范围为0.8至2.4微米,占主导地位的回旋辐射在所有阶段。我们使用“恒定λ”的处方,试图模拟光谱中看到的回旋特征的变化。B = 12.6 MG和kT = 5.0 keV的等离子体温度的单个回旋加速器发射组件在匹配H和K波段中看到的特征方面做了合理的工作,但未能完全再现1.6微米的形态学缩短。我们发现,一个两个组件的模型,其中两个组件具有相似的属性,但其贡献与观看几何形状不同,提供了一个很好的适合的数据。我们讨论了我们的模型的影响,并将其与以前发表的结果进行比较。此外,我们表明,回旋加速器模型与用于建模的红外光谱,但与B = 115 MG的场强相似的属性,可以解释的GALEX观测EF Eri。

英文摘要:

We present phase-resolved low resolution infrared spectra of the polar EF Eridani obtained over a period of 2 years with SPEX on the IRTF. The spectra, covering the wavelength range 0.8 to 2.4 microns, are dominated by cyclotron emission at all phases. We use a ``Constant Lambda'' prescription to attempt to model the changing cyclotron features seen in the spectra. A single cyclotron emission component with B = 12.6 MG, and a plasma temperature of kT = 5.0 keV, does a reasonable job in matching the features seen in the H and K bands, but fails to completely reproduce the morphology shortward of 1.6 microns. We find that a two component model, where both components have similar properties, but whose contributions differ with viewing geometry, provides an excellent fit to the data. We discuss the implications of our models and compare them with previously published results. In addition, we show that a cyclotron model with similar properties to those used for modeling the infrared spectra, but with a field strength of B = 115 MG, can explain the GALEX observations of EF Eri.
