摘要:

我们提出了一个行星状星云(PN)NGC 7354的观测研究,包括窄带Halpha和[NII]6584成像以及低和高色散长缝光谱和VLA-D射电连续谱。根据我们的成像和光谱数据,NGC 7354有四个主要结构:一个相当圆的外壳和一个椭圆形的内壳,一组低激发的亮结,大致集中在星云的赤道区域,以及两个对称的喷流状特征,既不与壳的轴对齐,也不相互对齐。我们已经获得了这些不同结构的物理参数,如电子温度和电子密度以及离子和元素丰度。整个星云的电子温度和电子密度略有不同。局地消光系数c_H β从南到北呈递增趋势,从东到西呈递减趋势,这与赤道亮节的数量一致。绝对值显示出轻微的内部变化,但大多数都在估计的不确定性范围内。一般而言,丰度值与预期的PNe值吻合良好。射电连续谱数据与光学薄热辐射一致。我们使用交互式三维建模工具SHAPE再现观察到的形态运动学结构在NGC 7354与不同的几何组件。我们的SHAPE模型与我们的成像和光谱观测非常一致。最后,在用SHAPE模拟NGC 7354之后,我们提出了一个可能的星云形成方案。

英文摘要:

We present an observational study of the planetary nebula (PN) NGC 7354 consisting of narrowband Halpha and [NII]6584 imaging as well as low- and high-dispersion long-slit spectroscopy and VLA-D radio continuum. According to our imaging and spectroscopic data, NGC 7354 has four main structures: a quite round outer shell and an elliptical inner shell, a collection of low-excitation bright knots roughly concentrated on the equatorial region of the nebula, and two symmetrical jet-like features, not aligned either with the shells' axes, or with each other. We have obtained physical parameters like electron temperature and electron density as well as ionic and elemental abundances for these different structures. Electron temperature and electron density slightly vary throughout the nebula. The local extinction coefficient c_Hbeta shows an increasing gradient from south to north and a decreasing gradient from east to west consistent with the number of equatorial bright knots present in each direction. Abundance values show slight internal variations but most of them are within the estimated uncertainties. In general, abundance values are in good agreement with the ones expected for PNe. Radio continuum data are consistent with optically thin thermal emission. We have used the interactive three-dimensional modeling tool SHAPE to reproduce the observed morphokinematic structures in NGC 7354 with different geometrical components. Our SHAPE model is in very good agreement with our imaging and spectroscopic observations. Finally, after modeling NGC 7354 with SHAPE, we suggest a possible scenario for the formation of the nebula.
