RS CVn双星HR 1099的相干射电辐射

The Coherent Radio Emission from the RS CVn Binary HR 1099

O. B. Slee, W. Wilson, G. Ramsay

摘要:

2005年3月至4月,我们使用澳大利亚望远镜在1.384和2.368 GHz的两个历元上观测了RS CVn双星HR 1099,每个历元持续9小时,间隔11天。在两集的相干发射,我们采用了最近安装的设施,以78毫秒的时间间隔采样的数据来测量精细的时间和光谱结构的HR 1099。我们的主要观测结果包括:在1.384和2.368GHz两个事件中都观测到了~100%的左旋圆极化辐射,第一次事件的辐射特征在光谱上漂移;在78 ms时间分辨率下进行的三次22 min积分表明,Stokes V参数的调制指数随着积分时间的减少而单调增加,并且仍然在我们的分辨率极限增加,我们认为,高度极化的发射是由于电子回旋脉泽发射(ECME)的二进制组件之一的电晕操作。我们讨论了两种脉泽源,可能是负责驱动所观察到的事件。我们认为,ECME源可能是一个极光样的现象,由于等离子体的转移从K2亚巨星的G5矮星在一个强大的恒星风。

英文摘要:

We used the Australia Telescope in March-April 2005 to observe the RS CVn binary HR 1099 at 1.384 and 2.368 GHz at two epochs, each of 9 h in duration and 11 days apart. During two episodes of coherent emission, we employed a recently installed facility to sample the data at 78 ms intervals to measure the fine temporal and spectral structure of HR 1099. Our main observational results include: ~100% left hand circularly polarised emission was seen at both 1.384 and 2.368 GHz during both epochs; in the first event the emission feature drifted across the spectrum; three 22 min integrations made at 78 ms time resolution showed that the modulation index of the Stokes V parameter increased monotonically as the integration time was decreased and was still increasing at our resolution limit; we believe that the highly polarised emission is due to electron-cyclotron maser emission (ECME) operating in the corona of one of the binary components. We discuss two kinds of maser sources that may be responsible for driving the observed events. We suggest that the ECME source may be an aurora-like phenomenon due to the transfer of plasma from the K2 subgiant to the G5 dwarf in a strong stellar wind.
