摘要:

我们提出了一个详细的模式大气分析的高色散和高信噪比光谱的严重污染DAZ白矮星GALEX J1931+0117。用VLT-Kueyen/UV-可见中阶梯光谱仪获得的光谱显示出几条分辨率良好的Si II谱线,从而能够研究压力对谱线轮廓的影响。我们观察到大斯塔克位移的硅线与理论预测和实验室测量。考虑到合成光谱计算中的斯塔克位移,我们将单线径向速度测量中的散射从~ 3 km/s减少到< 1 km/s。我们提出了修订后的丰度的O,Mg,Si,Ca和Fe的基础上的线加宽参数和振子强度的关键审查。新的测量结果与我们以前的分析基本一致,除了镁的丰度比以前估计的低了两倍。镁、硅和铁的丰度超过太阳丰度,但氧和钙的丰度低于太阳丰度。此外,我们比较了所观察到的线配置文件的合成光谱计算与可变吸积率和垂直丰度分布假设扩散稳态。推断的吸积速率从钙的dM/dt = 2x10^6到氧的2x10^9 g/s不等。我们发现,吸积流必须是富氧的,而缺乏钙相对于太阳丰度。两个测量时期之间缺乏径向速度变化表明GALEX J1931+0117可能不是一个近距离的双星,并且吸积物质的来源存在于碎片盘中。

英文摘要:

We present a detailed model atmosphere analysis of high-dispersion and high signal-to-noise ratio spectra of the heavily polluted DAZ white dwarf GALEX J1931+0117. The spectra obtained with the VLT-Kueyen/UV-Visual Echelle Spectrograph show several well-resolved Si II spectral lines enabling a study of pressure effects on line profiles. We observed large Stark shifts in silicon lines in agreement with theoretical predictions and laboratory measurements. Taking into account Stark shifts in the calculation of synthetic spectra we reduced the scatter in individual line radial velocity measurements from ~ 3 to < 1 km/s. We present revised abundances of O, Mg, Si, Ca, and Fe based on a critical review of line broadening parameters and oscillator strengths. The new measurements are generally in agreement with our previous analysis with the exception of magnesium with a revised abundance a factor of two lower than previously estimated. The magnesium, silicon and iron abundances exceed solar abundances, but the oxygen and calcium abundances are below solar. Also, we compared the observed line profiles to synthetic spectra computed with variable accretion rates and vertical abundance distributions assuming diffusive steady-state. The inferred accretion rates vary from dM/dt = 2x10^6 for calcium to 2x10^9 g/s for oxygen. We find that the accretion flow must be oxygen-rich while being deficient in calcium relative to solar abundances. The lack of radial velocity variations between two measurement epochs suggests that GALEX J1931+0117 is probably not in a close binary and that the source of the accreted material resides in a debris disc.
