摘要:

为了诊断行星状星云中心恒星快风的时变结构,我们分析了FUSE卫星远紫外光谱数据中的天鹅座P线轮廓。检索存档光谱以形成富氢CSPN NGC 6826、IC 418、IC 2149、IC 4593和NGC 6543的时间序列数据集。尽管由于时间序列的碎片化采样的限制,我们证明,在所有5 CSPN的UV共振线是可变的,主要是由于蓝移离散吸收组件(DAC)的发生。经验(SEI)线合成建模用于确定径向光学深度的波动范围,这是分配给大尺度风结构的时间变化。我们认为,DAC是常见的CSPN风,和他们的经验性质是类似的大规模OB星的吸收槽中看到的类似结构。PN中心恒星自转速度的约束来自我们的目标恒星的光球线的快速傅立叶变换分析。有利于因果作用的共同旋转的相互作用区域,我们探讨之间的连接归一化DAC加速度和旋转速率的PN中心星和O星。比较性质表明,相同的物理机制是在两个不同的设置中的线驱动风中产生大尺度结构。

英文摘要:

To diagnose the time-variable structure in the fast winds of central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPN), we present an analysis of P Cygni line profiles in FUSE satellite far-UV spectroscopic data. Archival spectra are retrieved to form time-series datasets for the H-rich CSPN NGC 6826, IC 418, IC 2149, IC 4593 and NGC 6543. Despite limitations due to the fragmented sampling of the time-series, we demonstrate that in all 5 CSPN the UV resonance lines are variable primarily due to the occurrence of blueward migrating discrete absorption components (DACs). Empirical (SEI) line-synthesis modelling is used to determine the range of fluctuations in radial optical depth, which are assigned to the temporal changes in large-scale wind structures. We argue that DACs are common in CSPN winds, and their empirical properties are akin to those of similar structures seen in the absorption troughs of massive OB stars. Constraints on PN central star rotation velocities are derived from Fast-Fourier Transform analysis of photospheric lines for our target stars. Favouring the causal role of co-rotating interaction regions, we explore connections between normalised DAC accelerations and rotation rates of PN central stars and O stars. The comparative properties suggest that the same physical mechanism is acting to generate large-scale structure in the line-driven winds in the two different settings.
