天鹅座经典新星V2491超软相的开始

Beginning of the Super-Soft Phase of the Classical Nova V2491 Cygni

D. Takei, J. -U. Ness

摘要:

本文介绍了利用朱雀天文台对天鹅座V2491进行软X射线研究的结果。在爆发后的第29天,出现了峰值约为0.5 keV的软X射线成分,这是超软X射线发射阶段开始的诱人证据。我们发现,一个吸收黑体模型可以描述所观察到的光谱,产生的温度为57 eV,中性氢柱密度为2 × 10 ^{21} cm^{-2},热光度为~10^{36} erg s^{-1}。然而,与此同时,我们也发现了一个很好的拟合与吸收的薄热等离子体模型,产生的温度为0.1 keV,中性氢柱密度为4 × 10 ^{21} cm^{-2},体积发射测量约为10^{58} cm^{-3}。由于低于0.6 keV的低光谱分辨率和低信噪比,统计参数的不确定性很大,但两个非常不同的模型的模糊性表明,系统误差是主要的关注点。薄热等离子体模型意味着软发射来自光学薄的喷出物,而黑体模型表明我们看到的是来自白矮星的光学厚发射。

英文摘要:

We present the results of soft X-ray studies of the classical nova V2491 Cygni using the Suzaku observatory. On day 29 after outburst, a soft X-ray component with a peak at ~0.5 keV has appeared, which is tantalising evidence for the beginning of the super-soft X-ray emission phase. We show that an absorbed blackbody model can describe the observed spectra, yielding a temperature of 57 eV, neutral hydrogen column density of 2x10^{21} cm^{-2}, and a bolometric luminosity of ~10^{36} erg s^{-1}. However, at the same time, we also found a good fit with an absorbed thin-thermal plasma model, yielding a temperature of 0.1 keV, neutral hydrogen column density of 4x10^{21} cm^{-2}, and a volume emission measure of ~10^{58} cm^{-3}. Owing to low spectral resolution and low signal-to-noise ratio below 0.6 keV, the statistical parameter uncertainties are large, but the ambiguity of the two very different models demonstrates that the systematic errors are the main point of concern. The thin-thermal plasma model implies that the soft emission originates from optically thin ejecta, while the blackbody model suggests that we are seeing optically thick emission from the white dwarf.
