摘要:

本文介绍了干涉仪和单碟CO观测以及获得的富氧半规则变星RS Cnc的HI数据,以探测其在不同尺度上的星周环境。利用Plateau de Bure干涉仪和IRAM 30-m望远镜,我们探测到了RS Cnc的CO(1-0)和CO(2-1)转动谱线。谱线剖面是合成的,有两个半宽分量,分别为~2 km/s和~8 km/s。而窄的速度分量似乎起源于赤道盘在CO信封的中心部分,广泛的组件揭示了一个双极结构,南北速度梯度。此外,我们获得了新的HI数据的源和它周围的领域几乎1平方度。HI线的中心在v_LSR = 7 km/s,与CO观测结果一致。一个新的还原过程揭示了一个复杂的扩展结构在西北方向,估计大小约18弧分,与PA(约310度)相反的恒星自行的方向(约140度)。我们推导出该结构的HI质量为~3 × 10^-2 M_sun。基于非球形模拟,我们发现这种结构与恒星与星际介质的相互作用相一致,恒星在2-3 × 10 ^5年内以平均约10^-7 M_sun.yr^-1的速率进行质量损失。这项工作说明了强大的互补性,CO和HI观测方面的AGB恒星周围的拱星环境的更完整的描述。

英文摘要:

This paper presents interferometric and single-dish CO observations along with HI data obtained for the oxygen-rich semi-regular variable RS Cnc, in order to probe its circumstellar environment at different scales. With the Plateau de Bure Interferometer and the IRAM 30-m telescope, we detect both the CO(1-0) and the CO(2-1) rotational lines from RS Cnc. The line profiles are composite, with two components of half-width ~2 km/s and ~8 km/s respectively. Whereas the narrow velocity component seems to originate from an equatorial disk in the central part of the CO envelope, the broad component reveals a bipolar structure, with a north-south velocity gradient. In addition, we obtain new HI data on the source and around it in a field of almost 1 square degree. The HI line is centered at v_LSR = 7 km/s in agreement with CO observations. A new reduction process reveals a complex extended structure in the northwest direction, of estimated size ~18 arcmin, with a PA (~310 degrees) opposite to the direction of the stellar proper motion (~140 degrees). We derive an HI mass of ~3 10^-2 M_sun for this structure. Based on a non-spherical simulation, we find that this structure is consistent with arising from the interaction of the star undergoing mass loss at an average rate of ~10^-7 M_sun.yr^-1 over ~2-3 10^5 years with the interstellar medium. This work illustrates the powerful complementarity of CO and HI observations with regard to a more complete description of circumstellar environments around AGB stars.
