摘要:

我们分析了行星状星云NGC 6543的中心恒星的化学成分的基础上详细的NLTE模型的恒星风。对数丰度为H=12.00,He=11.00,C=9.03,N=8.36,O=9.02,Si=8.19,P=5.53,S=7.57和Fe=7.24。与太阳丰度相比,除C过剩0.28 dex和Fe亏损$\sim 0.2$ dex外,大部分元素相对于氢具有太阳组成。相反,大多数以前的工作,我们发现,明星不是H-穷人,并有一个正常的他组成。这些丰度与在弥漫的X射线等离子体和星云气体中发现的丰度进行了比较。与等离子体发出的漫射X射线相比,恒星风中的铁元素要少得多。由于星云气体和X射线等离子体中的铁的损耗是相似的,我们得出结论,等离子体发射的漫射X射线是来自星云气体,而不是恒星风。在恒星风和星云复合线丰度之间获得了很好的一致性,为He,C和O相对于H。另一方面,推导出的恒星N丰度小于来自复合线的星云N丰度,并同意从碰撞激发线发现的丰度。由五种不同的方法确定的平均温度变化表明,复合线和碰撞激发线之间的星云丰度的差异可以解释为由于在化学均匀介质中的温度变化。

英文摘要:

We analyze the chemical composition of the central star of the planetary nebula NGC 6543 based upon a detailed NLTE model of its stellar wind. The logarithmic abundances by number are H=12.00, He=11.00, C=9.03, N=8.36, O=9.02, Si=8.19, P=5.53, S=7.57 and Fe=7.24. Compared with the solar abundances, most of the elements have solar composition with respect to hydrogen except C which is overabundant by 0.28 dex and Fe which is depleted by $\sim 0.2$ dex. Contrary to most previous work, we find that the star is not H-poor and has a normal He composition. These abundances are compared with those found in the diffuse X-ray plasma and the nebular gas. Compared to the plasma emitting in diffuse X-rays, the stellar wind is much less depleted in iron. Since the iron depletions in the nebular gas and X-ray plasma are similar, we conclude that the plasma emitting diffuse X-rays is derived from the nebular gas rather than the stellar wind. Excellent agreement is obtained between the abundances in the stellar wind and the nebular recombination line abundances for He, C, and O relative to H. On the other hand, the derived stellar N abundance is smaller than the nebular N abundance derived from recombination lines and agrees with the abundance found from collisionally-excited lines. The mean temperature variation determined by five different methods indicates that the difference in the nebular abundances between the recombination lines and collisionally excited lines can be explained as due to the temperature variations in a chemically homogeneous medium.
