摘要:

我们报告的磁性和光谱观测和建模的?p星HD 148937在CFHT的MiMeS LP的上下文中。2009年和2010年采集了HD 148937的32个高信噪比圆偏振(斯托克斯V)光谱和13个非偏振(斯托克斯I)光谱。在所有观测的总平均值中(在LSD平均轮廓和单个谱线中)获得斯托克斯V塞曼签名的明确检测。纵向磁场推断从斯托克斯V LSD配置文件是一贯的负,在对比的基本上为零的磁场强度测量从诊断无效配置文件。等效宽度测量的周期搜索证实了先前报告的7.03 d变异期。等效宽度的变化不是严格的周期性的:我们提出的证据的量或分布的拱星等离子体的演变。解释的7.03 d周期的背景下的ORM的恒星自转周期,我们已经分阶段的等效宽度和纵向场测量。纵向场测量结果显示出一个弱的正弦变化的常数符号,与Hα变化的相位相差约0.25个周期的极值。推断的磁场配置证实了Nazé等人(2010)的建议,他们提出HD 148937的变化性比其他同类成员弱,这是恒星几何的结果。基于导出的磁特性和已发表的风特性,我们发现风磁约束参数η \ast \simeq 20和旋转参数W = 0.12,支持了这样一种观点,即H α发射和其他谱线变化起源于由磁通道风引起的倾斜的、刚性旋转的磁层结构。(节录)

英文摘要:

We report magnetic and spectroscopic observations and modeling of the Of?p star HD 148937 within the context of the MiMeS LP at the CFHT. Thirty-two high signal-to-noise ratio circularly polarised (Stokes V) spectra and 13 unpolarised (Stokes I) spectra of HD 148937 were acquired in 2009 and 2010. A definite detection of a Stokes V Zeeman signature is obtained in the grand mean of all observations (in both LSD mean profiles and individual spectral lines). The longitudinal magnetic field inferred from the Stokes V LSD profiles is consistently negative, in contrast to the essentially zero field strength measured from the diagnostic null profiles. A period search of equivalent width measurements confirms the previously-reported 7.03 d variability period. The variation of equivalent widths is not strictly periodic: we present evidence for evolution of the amount or distribution of circumstellar plasma. Interpreting the 7.03 d period as the stellar rotational period within the context of the ORM, we have phased the equivalent widths and longitudinal field measurements. The longitudinal field measurements show a weak sinusoidal variation of constant sign, with extrema out of phase with the Hα variation by about 0.25 cycles. The inferred magnetic configuration confirms the suggestion of Nazé et al (2010), who proposed that the weaker variability of HD 148937 as compared to other members of this class is a consequence of the stellar geometry. Based on the derived magnetic properties and published wind characteristics, we find a wind magnetic confinement parameter η\ast \simeq 20 and rotation parameter W = 0.12, supporting a picture in which the Halpha emission and other line variability have their origin in an oblique, rigidly rotating magnetospheric structure resulting from a magnetically channeled wind.
