天鹅座经典新星V2491的光学和超软X射线光变曲线模型:次极大的新线索

Optical and Supersoft X-ray Light Curve Models of Classical Nova V2491 Cygni: A New Clue to the Secondary Maximum

Izumi Hachisu, Mariko Kato

摘要:

天鹅座V2491(Nova Cygni 2008 No.2)在爆发后40天就被Swift XRT探测到是一个短暂的超软X射线源,这表明它是一颗非常巨大的白矮星(WD),接近于克拉塞卡极限。我们提出了一个统一的模型,近红外,光学和X射线光变曲线的V2491 Cyg,并估计,从我们的最佳拟合模型,WD质量为1.3 \pm 0.02 M_ \sun与假设的化学成分的信封,X=0.20,Y= 0.48,X_{CNO} =0.20,X_{Ne} =0.10,Z = 0.02质量重量。我们强烈建议对喷出物进行详细的成分分析,因为WD物质的一些富集表明WD质量不会像RS Oph那样增加,RS Oph是Ia型超新星祖先的候选者。V2491 Cyg和V1493 Aql、V2362 Cyg一样,在光学光变曲线上有一个特殊的次极大值。引入磁活动作为核燃烧的附加能量源,我们提出了次极大值的物理机制。

英文摘要:

V2491 Cygni (Nova Cygni 2008 No.2) was detected as a transient supersoft X-ray source with the Swift XRT as early as 40 days after the outburst, suggesting a very massive white dwarf (WD) close to the Chandrasekhar limit. We present a unified model of near infrared, optical, and X-ray light curves for V2491 Cyg, and have estimated, from our best-fit model, the WD mass to be 1.3 \pm 0.02 M_\sun with an assumed chemical composition of the envelope, X=0.20, Y= 0.48, X_{CNO} =0.20, X_{Ne} =0.10, and Z = 0.02 by mass weight. We strongly recommend detailed composition analysis of the ejecta because some enrichment of the WD matter suggests that the WD mass does not increase like in RS Oph, which is a candidate of Type Ia supernova progenitors. V2491 Cyg shows a peculiar secondary maximum in the optical light curve as well as V1493 Aql and V2362 Cyg. Introducing magnetic activity as an adding energy source to nuclear burning, we propose a physical mechanism of the secondary maxima.
