球状星团、银河系中心和局部空间中的激变变星

Cataclysmic Variables in Globular Clusters, the Galactic Center, and Local Space

Craig O. Heinke, Ashley J. Ruiter, Michael P. Muno, Krzysztof Belczynski

摘要:

我们比较的X射线光谱和光度,在2-8千电子伏波段,已知的和可疑的激变变量(CV)在不同的环境中,评估这些源人口的性质。这些物体包括ASCA观测到的附近CV; Muno等人确定的银河系中心X射线源群;以及可能在球状星团中发现的CV。后者都被认为是由磁性CV主导的。我们发现,在这两个类别中较亮的对象可能是磁性CV,但较暗的对象可能包括正常CV的实质性贡献。从银河系中心观测到的异常硬的光谱反映了高的和可变的消光,在该地区的大部分地区明显大于典型的6 e22/cm 2,以及许多最明亮的CV的磁性。银河系中心暗源的总数与这一领域中CV数量的预期相符。

英文摘要:

We compare the X-ray spectra and luminosities, in the 2-8 keV band, of known and suspected cataclysmic variables (CVs) in different environments, assessing the nature of these source populations. These objects include nearby CVs observed with ASCA; the Galactic Center X-ray source population identified by Muno et al.; and likely CVs identified in globular clusters. Both of the latter have been suggested to be dominated by magnetic CVs. We find that the brighter objects in both categories are likely to be magnetic CVs, but that the fainter objects are likely to include a substantial contribution from normal CVs. The strangely hard spectra observed from the Galactic Center sources reflect the high and variable extinction, which is significantly greater than the canonical 6e22 /cm2 over much of the region, and the magnetic nature of many of the brightest CVs. The total numbers of faint Galactic Center sources are compatible with expectations of the numbers of CVs in this field.
