摘要:

我们报告了2008-2009年期间利用VLT/CRIRES对海山二大质量双星系统的近红外光谱观测结果。我们在He I 10833中探测到一个强而宽的吸收翼,其速度可达-1900 km/s。存档的HST/STIS紫外和光学数据显示,在2003.5事件中,Si IV 1394,1403的紫外共振线中存在类似的高速吸收(高达-2100 km/s)。来自低电离物质的紫外线,如Si II 1527、1533和C II 1334、1335,显示吸收速度高达-1200 km/s,表明吸收速度在-1200至-2100 km/s之间的区域比主星的名义风明显更快和更电离。在最近4个光谱周期(1989-2009)中在OPD/LNA获得的观测结果也显示了He I 10833在近星点期间的高速吸收。基于OPD/LNA数据集,我们确定具有v &lt; -900 km/s的材料存在于光谱周期的相位范围0.976 &lt; phi &lt; 1.023中,但在phi 1.049处获取的光谱中不< 0.947 and phi >存在。因此,我们将高速吸收的持续时间限制为95至206天(或相位为0.047至0.102)。我们认为,高速吸收起源于风-风碰撞区的冲击气体,在视线到主星的距离为15至45 AU。使用3-D流体动力学模拟的风-风碰撞区,我们发现,密集的高速气体是在视线的主星,只有当二进制系统是在天空中的取向,使伴星是在主星后面的近星点,对应的近星点的经度为240至270度。我们研究了一个可能的倾斜轨道平面相对于侏儒赤道平面,并得出结论,我们的数据是广泛一致的轨道倾角范围内i=40至60度。

英文摘要:

We report near-IR spectroscopic observations of the Eta Carinae massive binary system during 2008-2009 using VLT/CRIRES. We detect a strong, broad absorption wing in He I 10833 extending up to -1900 km/s across the 2009.0 spectroscopic event. Archival HST/STIS ultraviolet and optical data shows a similar high-velocity absorption (up to -2100 km/s) in the UV resonance lines of Si IV 1394, 1403 across the 2003.5 event. UV lines from low-ionization species, such as Si II 1527, 1533 and C II 1334, 1335, show absorption up to -1200 km/s, indicating that the absorption with v from -1200 to -2100 km/s originates in a region markedly faster and more ionized than the nominal wind of the primary star. Observations obtained at the OPD/LNA during the last 4 spectroscopic cycles (1989-2009) also display high-velocity absorption in He I 10833 during periastron. Based on the OPD/LNA dataset, we determine that material with v < -900 km/s is present in the phase range 0.976 < phi < 1.023 of the spectroscopic cycle, but absent in spectra taken at phi < 0.947 and phi > 1.049. Therefore, we constrain the duration of the high-velocity absorption to be 95 to 206 days (or 0.047 to 0.102 in phase). We suggest that the high-velocity absorption originates from shocked gas in the wind-wind collision zone, at distances of 15 to 45 AU in the line-of-sight to the primary star. Using 3-D hydrodynamical simulations of the wind-wind collision zone, we find that the dense high-velocity gas is in the line-of-sight to the primary star only if the binary system is oriented in the sky so that the companion is behind the primary star during periastron, corresponding to a longitude of periastron of omega ~ 240 to 270 degrees. We study a possible tilt of the orbital plane relative to the Homunculus equatorial plane and conclude that our data are broadly consistent with orbital inclinations in the range i=40 to 60 degrees.
