摘要:

沃尔夫-拉叶(WR)泡S 308围绕WR星HD 50896,是已知仅有的两个拥有X射线发射的WR泡之一。我们提出了XMM-牛顿观测的三个领域的WR泡沫,结合现有的观测其西北象限,地图的大部分星云。S 308的X射线发射显示出边缘增亮的形态,具有约22弧分大小的中心腔和约8弧分厚度的壳。这个X射线壳层被电离物质的光学壳层所限制。该光谱主要由氦类三重态NIV在0.43千电子伏和OVII在0.57千电子伏,并下降向高能量,与一个微弱的尾巴高达1千电子伏。该光谱可以用双温光学薄等离子体发射模型(T1 ~ 1.1x10^6 K,T2 ~ 13x10^6 K)来描述,在假定的1.5 kpc距离处,总X射线光度约为2x10^33 erg/s。

英文摘要:

The Wolf-Rayet (WR) bubble S 308 around the WR star HD 50896 is one of the only two WR bubbles known to possess X-ray emission. We present XMM-Newton observations of three fields of this WR bubble that, in conjunction with an existing observation of its Northwest quadrant, map most of the nebula. The X-ray emission from S 308 displays a limb-brightened morphology, with a central cavity ~22 arcmin in size and a shell thickness of ~8 arcmin. This X-ray shell is confined by the optical shell of ionized material. The spectrum is dominated by the He-like triplets of NIV at 0.43 keV and OVII at 0.57 keV, and declines towards high energies, with a faint tail up to 1 keV. This spectrum can be described by a two-temperature optically thin plasma emission model (T1 ~ 1.1x10^6 K, T2 ~ 13x10^6 K), with a total X-ray luminosity ~2x10^33 erg/s at the assumed distance of 1.5 kpc.
