蛋星云中准直快速外流的成形效应

The shaping effect of collimated fast outflows in the Egg nebula

Dinh-V-Trung, Jeremy Lim

摘要:

我们对蛋状星云的HC $_3$ NJ =5- 4线进行了高角分辨率观测。蛋状星云是原行星状星云的原型。我们发现,HC $_{\rm 3}$ N排放的信封的接近和后退部分的痕迹cluterous空心壳,类似于在正常的富碳信封。在系统速度附近,空心壳被分裂成几个大的斑点或弧与失踪的部分空间对应的位置,以前报道的高速流出的蛋星云。这提供了直接的证据,在AGB阶段的缓慢膨胀的信封喷出的准直快速外流期间开始过渡到原行星状星云阶段的中断。我们还发现,快速分子流出的交叉点以前建议的位置的中央后AGB星是显着偏离中心的空心壳。通过模拟HC $_3$ N的分布,我们可以用一个HC $_3$ N壳层来定性地再现HC $_3$ N J=5- 4的空间运动学,该壳层有两对空腔,由沿极向和赤道面的准直高速外流清除。我们推断HC $_3$ N/H $_2$ $\sim$ 3x 10 $^{-6}$相对较高的丰度,HC $_3$ N外壳中的估计质量损失率为3x 10 $^{-5}$ M $_\odot$ yr $^{-1}$。HC $_3$ N的高丰度和在AGB后恒星中心附近的一些较弱的J=5- 4发射的存在,表明这种分子在蛋星云中异常有效地形成。

英文摘要:

We present high angular resolution observations of the HC$_3$N J=5--4 line from the Egg nebula, which is the archetype of protoplanetary nebulae. We find that the HC$_{\rm 3}$N emission in the approaching and receding portion of the envelope traces a clumpy hollow shell, similar to that seen in normal carbon rich envelopes. Near the systemic velocity, the hollow shell is fragmented into several large blobs or arcs with missing portions correspond spatially to locations of previously reported high--velocity outlows in the Egg nebula. This provides direct evidence for the disruption of the slowly--expanding envelope ejected during the AGB phase by the collimated fast outflows initiated during the transition to the protoplanetary nebula phase. We also find that the intersection of fast molecular outflows previously suggested as the location of the central post-AGB star is significantly offset from the center of the hollow shell. From modelling the HC$_3$N distribution we could reproduce qualitatively the spatial kinematics of the HC$_3$N J=5--4 emission using a HC$_3$N shell with two pairs of cavities cleared by the collimated high velocity outflows along the polar direction and in the equatorial plane. We infer a relatively high abundance of HC$_3$N/H$_2$ $\sim$3x10$^{-6}$ for an estimated mass--loss rate of 3x10$^{-5}$ M$_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$ in the HC$_3$N shell. The high abundance of HC$_3$N and the presence of some weaker J=5--4 emission in the vicinity of the central post-AGB star suggest an unusually efficient formation of this molecule in the Egg nebula.
