摘要:

本文报道了我们在16颗场Be星、位于船底座旋臂上的B型双星Sgr和14个疏散年轻星团NGC 3766中的磁场的搜寻结果,这些星团包括Be星、正常B型星和He强/He弱星。利用在1小时内获得的磁场时间序列对9颗Be星进行了研究,以了解Be星大气中磁场性质的时间行为和与动力学现象的相关性。分光偏振数据是在欧洲南方天文台用安装在8米Kueyen望远镜上的多模仪器FORS 1获得的。我们在HD 62367、mu Cen、o Aqr和Mu Tuc四颗场Be星上探测到弱光球磁场。最强的纵向磁场,<B_z>=117+-38 G,在Be星HD 62367中检测到。在用时间序列研究的Be星中,有一颗Be星λ Eri,其磁场的周期变化为21.12 min。双星上升的Sgr,在最初的快速阶段,两个组成部分之间的质量交换与强烈的发射线在可见光谱,是一个磁变星,可能在几个月的时间尺度。使用<B_z>氢线测量MJD 54333.018处的最大纵向磁场=-102+-10 G。星系团NGC 3766似乎非常有趣,我们在观测到的14个星系团成员中发现了7个早期B型恒星存在磁场的证据。

英文摘要:

We report the results of our search for magnetic fields in a sample of 16 field Be stars, the binary emission-line B-type star upsilon Sgr, and in a sample of fourteen members of the open young cluster NGC3766 in the Carina spiral arm. The sample of cluster members includes Be stars, normal B-type stars and He-strong/He-weak stars. Nine Be stars have been studied with magnetic field time series obtained over ~1 hour to get an insight into the temporal behaviour and the correlation of magnetic field properties with dynamical phenomena taking place in Be star atmospheres. The spectropolarimetric data were obtained at the European Southern Observatory with the multi-mode instrument FORS1 installed at the 8m Kueyen telescope. We detect weak photospheric magnetic fields in four field Be stars, HD62367, mu Cen, o Aqr, and epsilon Tuc. The strongest longitudinal magnetic field, <B_z>=117+-38G, was detected in the Be star HD62367. Among the Be stars studied with time series, one Be star, lambda Eri, displays cyclic variability of the magnetic field with a period of 21.12min. The binary star upsilon Sgr, in the initial rapid phase of mass exchange between the two components with strong emission lines in the visible spectrum, is a magnetic variable star, probably on a timescale of a few months. The maximum longitudinal magnetic field <B_z>=-102+-10G at MJD54333.018 was measured using hydrogen lines. The cluster NGC3766 seems to be extremely interesting, where we find evidence for the presence of a magnetic field in seven early B-type stars out of the observed fourteen cluster members.
