摘要:

本文利用哈勃空间望远镜对大质量X射线双星HD 226868 = Cyg X-1中O超巨星的光球光谱进行了高分辨率紫外光谱研究。我们分析了这一点和地基光谱,以确定O9.7 Iab超巨星的有效温度和重力。使用非局部热力学平衡(non-LTE),线覆盖,平面平行模型从TLUSTY网格,我们得到T_eff = 28.0 +/- 2.5kK和log g > 3.00 +/- 0.25,都低于以前的研究。光谱与He和N丰度丰富的模型最匹配。我们适合这个温度和重力的模型光谱能量分布的紫外线,光学和红外线通量,以确定角的大小和消光对二进制。角的大小然后产生恒星半径和光度作为距离的函数的关系。通过假设超巨星与轨道同步旋转,我们可以利用半径-距离关系,找到超巨星和黑洞的质量估计,作为距离和恒星与洛希半径之比的函数。轨道光变曲线的拟合产生了一个额外的约束,该约束限制了质量平面中的解。结果表明,超巨星的质量为23^{+8}_{-6} M_sun,黑洞的质量为11^{+5}_{-3} M_sun.

英文摘要:

We present an examination of high resolution, ultraviolet spectroscopy from Hubble Space Telescope of the photospheric spectrum of the O-supergiant in the massive X-ray binary HD 226868 = Cyg X-1. We analyzed this and ground-based optical spectra to determine the effective temperature and gravity of the O9.7 Iab supergiant. Using non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE), line blanketed, plane parallel models from the TLUSTY grid, we obtain T_eff = 28.0 +/- 2.5kK and log g > 3.00 +/- 0.25, both lower than in previous studies. The optical spectrum is best fit with models that have enriched He and N abundances. We fit the model spectral energy distribution for this temperature and gravity to the UV, optical, and IR fluxes to determine the angular size of and extinction towards the binary. The angular size then yields relations for the stellar radius and luminosity as a function of distance. By assuming that the supergiant rotates synchronously with the orbit, we can use the radius - distance relation to find mass estimates for both the supergiant and black hole as a function of the distance and the ratio of stellar to Roche radius. Fits of the orbital light curve yield an additional constraint that limits the solutions in the mass plane. Our results indicate masses of 23^{+8}_{-6} M_sun for the supergiant and 11^{+5}_{-3} M_sun for the black hole.
