The Outer Wind of gamma Velorum

P. F. Roche, M. D. Colling, M. J. Barlow

摘要:

临界密度在10^4 ~ 10^6 cm^-3范围内的精细结构中红外发射线可以用来探测半径为\sim 10^15 cm的沃尔夫-拉叶星的外流。窄带中红外成像和光谱最近的WR星太阳,伽玛Velorum分析空间分辨的禁线发射沃尔夫-拉叶风。的[S IV] 10.52和[Ne II] 12.81微米的发射区域被发现是空间扩展,相比,未解决的连续和He和C复合线发射。[S IV]和[{Ne II]发射线分布具有高度的方位角对称性,指示球对称流出。具有中等程度聚集的模式风(聚集因子f \sim 10)比未聚集的模式提供了与观测更好的匹配。的整体线强度分布是一致的自由膨胀,球对称的1/ $r^2$流出恒定的电离分数和适度聚集的密度结构。

英文摘要:

Fine-structure mid-infrared emission lines with critical densities in the regime 10^4 to 10^6 cm^-3 can be employed to probe the outflow from Wolf-Rayet stars at radii of \sim 10^15 cm. Narrow-band mid-infrared imaging and spectroscopy of the nearest WR star to the sun, gamma Velorum is analysed for spatially resolved forbidden line emission in the Wolf-Rayet outer wind. The [S IV] 10.52 and [Ne II] 12.81 micron emission regions are found to be spatially extended, compared to unresolved continuum and He and C recombination line emission. The [S IV] and [{Ne II] emission line distributions have a high degree of azimuthal symmetry, indicating a spherically symmetric outflow. A model wind with a modest degree of clumping (clumping factor f \sim 10) provides a better match to the observations than an unclumped model. The overall line intensity distributions are consistent with a freely expanding, spherically symmetric 1/$r^2$ outflow with constant ionization fraction and modestly clumped density structure.
