船底座η星和大质量恒星周围的星云:与行星状星云的相似性?

Eta Carinae and Nebulae Around Massive Stars: Similarities to Planetary Nebulae?

Nathan Smith

摘要:

我讨论了大质量恒星周围的非球面星云的一些观测特性,并推断出它们是如何形成的。这些想法是否适用于行星状星云的形成尚不确定,但观察到的一些PNE和大质量恒星周围的双极星云之间的相似性是引人注目的。在船底座伊塔星这个观测良好的例子中,几条观测证据指向了这样一种情况,即它的双极星云的形状是由一个本质上的双极爆炸性喷射事件造成的,而不是从恒星喷射后发生的相互作用的风。对于某些行星状星云也可以推断出类似的结论。我还简要地提到了其他一些大质量恒星周围的双极星云,例如SN 1987A和相关蓝超巨星的前身。

英文摘要:

I discuss some observational properties of aspherical nebulae around massive stars, and conclusions inferred for how they may have formed. Whether or not these ideas are applicable to the shaping of planetary nebulae is uncertain, but the observed similarities between some PNe and bipolar nebulae around massive stars is compelling. In the well-observed case of Eta Carinae, several lines of observational evidence point to a scenario where the shape of its bipolar nebula resulted from an intrinsically bipolar explosive ejection event rather than an interacting winds scenario occurring after ejection from teh star. A similar conclusion has been inferred for some planetary nebulae. I also briefly mention bipolar nebulae around some other massive stars, such as the progenitor of SN 1987A and related blue supergiants.
