LBV和LBV候选物的长期光谱监测

Long-term Spectroscopic Monitoring of LBVs and LBV Candidates

A. Lobel, J. H. Groh, K. Torres, N. Gorlova

摘要:

我们提出了一个长期的光谱监测计划(自2009年中期)的发光蓝变星与新的HERMES中阶梯光谱仪上的1.2米墨卡托望远镜在La Palma(西班牙)的结果。我们研究了两个LBV,P Cyg和HD 168607,LBV候选者MWC 930和HD 168625,以及LBV二进制MWC 314的高分辨率(R= 80,000)光谱。2009年5月至9月期间,我们在天鹅座P星观测到巴耳末Hα、Hβ和He I线的紫色翼的通量变化。在200 km/s到300 km/s之间的变化是由蓝超巨星超音速风底部的可变不透明度引起的。我们在MWC 314中观察到宽的双峰金属发射线,其径向速度随时间变化。另一方面,我们在光球S II λ5647吸收线中测量到,在较低的激发能~14 eV的情况下,2009年9月5日至10日,日心径向速度质心从37 km/s增加到70 km/s(2010年4月6日为43 km/s)。仅在5天内径向速度就增加了约33 km/s,这可以证实该LBV接近爱丁顿光度极限的双星性质。通过与过去13年观测到的VLT-UVES和Hires-Hires光谱进行比较,发现HD 168625的Hα发射线的紫色翼和HD 168607的Hβ线的吸收部分具有很强的通量变化。在HD 168625中,我们观察到Hα风吸收速度超过200 km/s,在2010年4月至6月之间发展。

英文摘要:

We present results of a long-term spectroscopic monitoring program (since mid 2009) of Luminous Blue Variables with the new HERMES echelle spectrograph on the 1.2 m Mercator telescope at La Palma (Spain). We investigate high-resolution (R=80,000) optical spectra of two LBVs, P Cyg and HD 168607, the LBV candidates MWC 930 and HD 168625, and the LBV binary MWC 314. In P Cyg we observe flux changes in the violet wings of the Balmer Hα, Hβ, and He I lines between May and Sep 2009. The changes around 200 km/s to 300 km/s are caused by variable opacity at the base of the supersonic wind from the blue supergiant. We observe in MWC 314 broad double-peaked metal emission lines with invariable radial velocities over time. On the other hand, we measure in the photospheric S II λ5647 absorption line, with lower excitation energy of ~14 eV, an increase of the heliocentric radial velocity centroid from 37 km/s to 70 km/s between 5 and 10 Sep 2009 (and 43 km/s on 6 Apr 2010). The increase of radial velocity of ~33 km/s in only 5 days can confirm the binary nature of this LBV close to the Eddington luminosity limit. A comparison with VLT-UVES and Keck-Hires spectra observed over the past 13 years reveals strong flux variability in the violet wing of the Hα emission line of HD 168625, and in the absorption portion of the Hβ line of HD 168607. In HD 168625 we observe Hα wind absorption at velocities exceeding 200 km/s which develops between Apr and June 2010.
