空间运动学建模:测试行星状星云和近距离双星之间的联系

Spatio-kinematic modelling: Testing the link between planetary nebulae and close binaries

摘要:

人们普遍认为中央双星在非球面行星状星云的形成和演化中起着重要的作用,但这一假设缺乏观测支持。在这里,我们提出了一个持续的计划,以模拟所有行星状星云的形态,已知的主机近距离双星中心星的最新结果。最初,这个程序允许我们比较星云对称轴和双星平面的倾斜度,测试理论上的期望,即它们将垂直-到目前为止,所有人都满足了这一期望,这表明每个星云都是由其中心双星形成的。随着更多的星云样本被建模,将有可能搜索连接星云和中央双星参数的趋势,加强我们对这些物体工作过程的理解。我将讨论一些比较明显的比较,以及它们的当前状态,以及与常见信封演变的明显联系。

英文摘要:

It is widely believed that central star binarity plays an important role in the formation and evolution of aspherical planetary nebulae, however observational support for this hypothesis is lacking. Here, we present the most recent results of a continuing programme to model the morphologies of all planetary nebulae known to host a close binary central star. Initially, this programme allows us to compare the inclination of the nebular symmetry axis to that of the binary plane, testing the theoretical expectation that they will lie perpendicular - to date, all have satisfied this expectation, indicating that each nebula has been shaped by its central binary star. As a greater sample of nebulae are modelled, it will be possible to search for trends connecting the parameters of both nebula and central binary, strengthening our understanding of the processes at work in these objects. I will discuss some of the more obvious comparisons, and their current statuses, as well as the obvious links to common envelope evolution.
