摘要:

我们报告检测到一个强大的,有组织的磁场在O 9 IV星HD 57682,使用分光偏振观测ESPaDOnS在3.6米加拿大-法国-夏威夷望远镜的背景下,在大质量恒星(MiMeS)的磁性大计划。从我们的光谱拟合使用NLTE模型大气,我们确定HD 57682是一个$17^{+19}_{-9}$ M $_{\odot}$星,半径为$7.0^{+2.4}_{-1.8}$ R $_\odot$,和一个相对较低的质量损失率为$1.4^{+3.1}_{-0.95}\times10^{-9}$ M $_{\odot}$ yr $^{-1}$。光球的吸收谱线很窄,我们用傅里叶变换技术推知了$v\sin i=15\pm3$ km s $^{-1}$ .这$v\sin i$意味着一个最大的旋转周期为31.5天,一个值定性与所观察到的光吸收和发射线的变化,以及斯托克斯$V$配置文件和纵向字段一致。利用速度分辨Stokes $V$剖面的贝叶斯分析来推断磁场特征,我们尝试性地推导出了$1680^{+134}_{-356}$ G.推导出的场强和风的特性意味着风是强烈限制的磁场。

英文摘要:

We report the detection of a strong, organised magnetic field in the O9IV star HD 57682, using spectropolarimetric observations obtained with ESPaDOnS at the 3.6-m Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope within the context of the Magnetism in Massive Stars (MiMeS) Large Program. From the fitting of our spectra using NLTE model atmospheres we determined that HD 57682 is a $17^{+19}_{-9}$ M$_{\odot}$ star with a radius of $7.0^{+2.4}_{-1.8}$ R$_\odot$, and a relatively low mass-loss rate of $1.4^{+3.1}_{-0.95}\times10^{-9}$ M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$. The photospheric absorption lines are narrow, and we use the Fourier transform technique to infer $v\sin i=15\pm3$ km s$^{-1}$. This $v\sin i$ implies a maximum rotational period of 31.5 d, a value qualitatively consistent with the observed variability of the optical absorption and emission lines, as well as the Stokes $V$ profiles and longitudinal field. Using a Bayesian analysis of the velocity-resolved Stokes $V$ profiles to infer the magnetic field characteristics, we tentatively derive a dipole field strength of $1680^{+134}_{-356}$ G. The derived field strength and wind characteristics imply a wind that is strongly confined by the magnetic field.
