磁星SGR 1806-20周围的中红外VISIR和斯皮策观测

Mid-infrared VISIR and Spitzer observations of the surroundings of the magnetar SGR 1806-20

摘要:

我们报告了SGR 1806-20及其环境的中红外观测-迄今为止在这一领域的最高空间分辨率-在2005年和2006年使用ESO/VISIR,我们检索了斯皮策/IRAC-MIPS档案数据相同的领域。我们的目标是研究与SGR 1806-20相同的星团相关的恒星的中红外发射,以检测可能由于磁星通过与尘埃相互作用的高能活动而引起的变化。我们还旨在研究靠近星团中心的云的形态。我们对三颗恒星- LBV 1806-20,一颗WC 9和一颗O/B超巨星-在我们的VISIR图像上以及IRAC数据上进行了宽带测光。然后,我们构建并拟合了它们的宽带光谱能量分布,其中包含两个吸收的黑体,代表它们的恒星成分,以及可能的中红外过量,以获得它们的物理参数。我们发现,LBV 1806-20和WC 9恒星表现出中红外过量,可能是因为存在与其风有关的星周尘埃。我们还表明,只有LBV 1806-20在两年的时间内有一个可变的流量,可变性是由于其LBV的性质,而不是加热的气体和尘埃云的高能量排放的SGR 1806-20。最后,三颗恒星的内禀折射率的差异显示了大质量星团中气体和尘埃云密度的不均匀结构。

英文摘要:

We report mid-infrared observations of SGR 1806-20 and its environment - with the highest spatial resolution in this domain to date - using ESO/VISIR in 2005 and 2006, and we retrieved Spitzer/IRAC-MIPS archival data of the same field. We aimed at studying the mid-infrared emission of the stars associated with the same cluster as SGR 1806-20, to detect variations that could be due to the high-energy activity of the magnetar through interaction with the dust. We also aimed at studying the morphology of the cloud close to the centre of the cluster. We performed broadband photometry of three stars - LBV 1806-20, a WC9 and an O/B supergiant - on our VISIR images, as well as on the IRAC data. We then built and fitted their broadband spectral energy distributions with a combination of two absorbed black bodies, representing their stellar components, as well as a possible mid-infrared excess, in order to derive their physical parameters. We show that LBV 1806-20 and the WC9 star exhibit a mid-infrared excess, likely because of the presence of circumstellar dust related to their winds. We also show that only LBV 1806-20 had a variable flux over a period of two years, variability which is due to its LBV nature rather than to a heating of the gas and dust cloud by the high-energy emission of SGR 1806-20. Finally, differences in the intrinsic absorptions of the three stars show an inhomogeneous structure of the density of the gas and dust cloud in the massive star cluster.
