摘要:

Nova V2491 Cyg的X射线通量在光学极大值后约40天达到最大值。当时的X射线光谱,用XMM-牛顿的RGS获得,显示出深,蓝移吸收的离子的电离范围很广。我们表明,深吸收线的X射线光谱在最大值,9天后,很好地描述了以下的唯象模型与发射从中央黑体和碰撞电离等离子体(CIE)。黑体光谱(BB)被三个主要的高度电离的膨胀壳层吸收; CIE和BB被包括尘埃在内的冷的星周和星际物质吸收。出流密度并不随距离单调减小。这些壳的丰度表明它们是从一颗O-Ne白矮星中喷射出来的。我们表明,在X射线光谱的时间尺度上的变化是由中央源的变化和电离壳层的柱密度的组合。我们的唯象模型给出了最好的描述,到目前为止的超软X射线光谱的新星V2491天鹅座,但低估了,由一个很大的因素,光学和紫外线通量。光谱中的X射线部分必须来自膨胀包层中的一个非常不同的层,大概比负责光学/紫外光谱的层更接近白矮星。这一点通过X射线和UV/光学观测通量之间不存在任何相关性得到证实。

英文摘要:

The X-ray flux of Nova V2491 Cyg reached a maximum some forty days after optical maximum. The X-ray spectrum at that time, obtained with the RGS of XMM-Newton, shows deep, blue-shifted absorption by ions of a wide range of ionization. We show that the deep absorption lines of the X-ray spectrum at maximum, and nine days later, are well described by the following phenomenological model with emission from a central blackbody and from a collisionally ionized plasma (CIE). The blackbody spectrum (BB) is absorbed by three main highly-ionized expanding shells; the CIE and BB are absorbed by cold circumstellar and interstellar matter that includes dust. The outflow density does not decrease monotonically with distance. The abundances of the shells indicate that they were ejected from an O-Ne white dwarf. We show that the variations on time scales of hours in the X-ray spectrum are caused by a combination of variation in the central source and in the column density of the ionized shells. Our phenomenological model gives the best description so far of the supersoft X-ray spectrum of nova V2491 Cyg, but underpredicts, by a large factor, the optical and ultraviolet flux. The X-ray part of the spectrum must originate from a very different layer in the expanding envelope, presumably much closer to the white dwarf than the layers responsible for the optical/ultraviolet spectrum. This is confirmed by absence of any correlation between the X-ray and UV/optical observed fluxes.
