摘要:

我们提出了第一个紫外光谱的奇特,磁性的?p星HD 108的光谱低态。利用哈勃太空望远镜上的太空望远镜成像光谱仪(STIS)获得的新数据显示,与在高状态下获得的IUE光谱相比,发生了显着变化:NV 1240、Si IV 1400和C IV 1550呈现较弱的天鹅座P-Cygni轮廓在新的数据中,NIV 1718的吸收更深(吸收更少),而NIV 1718的吸收更深,在高状态下没有明显的风特征。这种变化与在其他磁性大质量恒星中发现的变化形成对比,当视线接近磁赤道平面时,在共振双峰中观察到更多的吸收。新的数据还表明,光球Fe IV森林,在1600- 1700埃,与以前的观测相比已经加强。与典型的非磁性O型星相比,紫外线的变化很大,但与HD 108几十年来光谱中报道的高/低状态变化相比,紫外线的变化是中等的。我们使用非LTE膨胀大气模型来分析新的STIS观测。总的来说,结果是符合的情况下,光学可变性主要是由磁约束的气体,接近光球。在主要紫外线风线中发现的相对温和的变化表明,恒星风在全球范围内基本上没有变化。尽管如此,可能需要多维辐射传输模型来理解观察到的一些现象。

英文摘要:

We present the first ultraviolet spectrum of the peculiar, magnetic Of?p star HD 108 obtained in its spectroscopic low state. The new data, obtained with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on the Hubble Space Telescope, reveal significant changes compared to IUE spectra obtained in the high state: N V 1240, Si IV 1400, and C IV 1550 present weaker P-Cygni profiles (less absorption) in the new data, while N IV 1718 absorption is deeper, without the clear wind signature evident in the high state. Such changes contrast with those found in other magnetic massive stars, where more absorption is observed in the resonance doublets when the sightline is close to the plane of the magnetic equator. The new data show also that the photospheric Fe IV forest, at 1600--1700 angstroms, has strengthened compared to previous observations. The ultraviolet variability is large compared to that found in typical, non-magnetic O stars, but moderate when compared to the high-/low-state changes reported in the optical spectrum of HD 108 over several decades. We use non-LTE expanding-atmosphere models to analyze the new STIS observations. Overall, the results are in accord with a scenario in which the optical variability is mainly produced by magnetically constrained gas, close to the photosphere. The relatively modest changes found in the main ultraviolet wind lines suggest that the stellar wind is not substantially variable on a global scale. Nonetheless, multidimensional radiative-transfer models may be needed to understand some of the phenomena observed.
