摘要:

详细研究了He/N和非常快的天鹅座新星2008 N2(V2491 Cyg)的光度和光谱演化。2008年4月11.37(+/-0.1)UT,在V=7.45 +/-0.05处达到第一个极大值,随后以t2(V)=4.8天为特征平稳下降,然后在V=9.49 +/-0.03,14.5天后达到第二个极大值。这是继V2362 Cyg和V1493 Aql之后,第三颗出现次极大值的新星。详细研究了次极大的发展和能量学。随后的平稳下降被精确地监测到,直到+144天,新星比最大亮度暗8.6等,进入星云阶段,其线和连续辐射率下降为t-3。影响新星的红化是E(B-V)=0.23 +/-0.01,14 kpc的距离使新星位于银道面以上1.1 kpc的高度,比典型的He/N新星要大。大部分喷出物的膨胀速度为2000公里/秒,在光学厚相期间具有复杂的发射轮廓和弱的P-Cyg反射,在星云相期间具有鞍状轮廓。对发射线光谱的光电离分析表明,爆发喷出的质量为5.3 × 10(-6)Msun,质量分数为X=0.573,Y=0.287,Z=0.140,单个元素的质量分数为N=0.074,O=0.049,Ne=0.015。吸积物质的金属丰度为[Fe/H]=-0.25,与新星星系中心距离处的环境值一致。在+477天和+831天的光谱学和光度学观测显示,这颗新星恢复到了其前身的亮度水平,并重新开始了对白矮星的吸积。

英文摘要:

The photometric and spectroscopic evolution of the He/N and very fast Nova Cyg 2008 N2 (V2491 Cyg) is studied in detail. A primary maximum was reached at V=7.45 +/-0.05 on April 11.37 (+/-0.1) 2008 UT, followed by a smooth decline characterized by t2(V)=4.8 days, and then a second maximum was attained at V=9.49 +/-0.03, 14.5 days after the primary one. This is the only third nova to have displayed a secondary maximum, after V2362 Cyg and V1493 Aql. The development and energetics of the secondary maximum is studied in detail. The smooth decline that followed was accurately monitored until day +144 when the nova was 8.6 mag fainter than maximum brightness, well into its nebular phase, with its line and continuum emissivity declining as t-3. The reddening affecting the nova was E(B-V)=0.23 +/-0.01, and the distance of 14 kpc places the nova at a height above the galactic plane of 1.1 kpc, larger than typical for He/N novae. The expansion velocity of the bulk of ejecta was 2000 km/sec, with complex emission profiles and weak P-Cyg absorptions during the optically thick phase, and saddle-like profiles during the nebular phase. Photo-ionization analysis of the emission line spectrum indicates that the mass ejected by the outburst was 5.3 10(-6) Msun and the mass fractions to be X=0.573, Y=0.287, Z=0.140, with those of individual elements being N=0.074, O=0.049, Ne=0.015. The metallicity of the accreted material was [Fe/H]=-0.25, in line with ambient value at the nova galacto-centric distance. Additional spectroscopic and photometric observations at days +477 and +831 show the nova returned to the brightness level of the progenitor and to have resumed the accretion onto the white dwarf.
