摘要:

行星状星云Abell 8(PN G 167.0--00.9)可能是疏散星团Bica 6的成员,这一点通过CCD光谱、UBV(RI)c测光和亮星团恒星的径向速度得到了证实。行星状星云的变红、估计距离和视向速度与Bica 6的参数一致,即E(B-V)=0.42,d=1.60+-0.11 kpc,Vr=57+-1 km/s,星团年龄为1 Gyr,有一个诊断性的蓝钩,还有一些蓝色的离散星,包括一颗可能是后AGB的B1 Vnn星(HDE 277593)。结果确定Bica 6是行星状星云距离尺度的潜在校准器。行星状星云中央的恒星变红E(B-V)=0.49+-0.02,可能存在环星云过剩,估计光度Mv=+7.44+-0.16。在2 MASS影像中,它也是一颗光学双星,根据演化上的考量,它可能是一颗约2.3百万太阳的晚期B型矮星。

英文摘要:

The likely membership of the planetary nebula Abell 8 (PN G167.0--00.9) in the open cluster Bica 6 is confirmed by CCD spectra, UBV(RI)c photometry, and radial velocities for luminous cluster stars. The reddening, estimated distance, and radial velocity of the planetary nebula agree with parameters derived for Bica 6 of E(B-V)=0.42, d=1.60+-0.11 kpc, and Vr=57+-1 km/s, with a cluster age of 1 Gyr, a diagnostic blue hook, and a few blue stragglers, including a peculiar B1 Vnn star (HDE 277593) that may be a post-AGB star. The results identify Bica 6 as a potential calibrator of the planetary nebula distance scale. The central star of the planetary nebula has a reddening of E(B-V)=0.49+-0.02, with a possible circumnebular excess, and an estimated luminosity of Mv=+7.44+-0.16. It is also an optical double in 2MASS images, with a likely progenitor according to evolutionary considerations being a late B-type dwarf of ~2.3 Msun.
