摘要:

利用时间分辨的低分辨率哈勃空间望远镜紫外光谱,结合地基光学测光和光谱,对6个包含脉动白矮星的激变变星的温度和脉动特性进行了约束。将我们对五颗已经爆发好几年的脉动白矮星的温度测定与过去对其他六个系统的结果相结合,表明吸积脉动白矮星的不稳定带范围在10,500 -15,000 K之间,比ZZ Ceti恒星的不稳定带范围更宽。紫外/光学脉动特性的分析揭示了一些令人困惑的方面。虽然一半的系统显示高脉动振幅的UV相比,他们的光学同行,其他显示UV/光学振幅比小于一个或没有脉动在任何波长区域。

英文摘要:

Time-resolved low resolution Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet spectra together with ground-based optical photometry and spectra are used to constrain the temperatures and pulsation properties of six cataclysmic variables containing pulsating white dwarfs. Combining our temperature determinations for the five pulsating white dwarfs that are several years past outburst with past results on six other systems shows that the instability strip for accreting pulsating white dwarfs ranges from 10,500-15,000K, a wider range than evident for ZZ Ceti pulsators. Analysis of the UV/optical pulsation properties reveals some puzzling aspects. While half the systems show high pulsation amplitudes in the UV compared to their optical counterparts, others show UV/optical amplitude ratios that are less than one or no pulsations at either wavelength region.
