船底座η星风-赤道气体相互作用的数值模拟

Numerical simulations of wind-equatorial gas interaction in eta Carinae

Danny Tsebrenko, Muhammad Akashi, Noam Soker

摘要:

我们进行三维气体动力学模拟,并表明,在数百个天文单位(AU)的大规模的双星系统船底座eta流出的蓝移和红移分量的不对称形态可以解释从碰撞的自由主恒星风与缓慢膨胀的致密赤道气体。由于百年之久的赤道喷出物的结构非常复杂,无法通过观测在空间上完全分辨,我们仅限于用一两个致密的球形云来模拟赤道致密气体。因此,我们再现了速度图的一般定性性质,但没有再现细节。速度图的细节可以通过简单地以适当的方式构造致密的喷出物来匹配。蓝移和红移分量分别形成于赤道面两侧的一次风激波后气流中。来自次级恒星的快速风在我们的模型中没有作用,因为在我们模型中的大部分轨道周期中,主星离我们更近。稠密的云被观察到比双星系统更接近我们,因此在我们的模型中,主星在大部分轨道周期内都面对密集的赤道喷出物。

英文摘要:

We perform three-dimensional gas-dynamical simulations and show that the asymmetric morphology of the blue and red-shifted components of the outflow at hundreds of astronomical units (AU) from the massive binary system eta Carinae can be accounted for from the collision of the free primary stellar wind with the slowly expanding dense equatorial gas. Owing to the very complicated structure of the century-old equatorial ejecta, that is not fully spatially resolved by observations, we limit ourselves to modelling the equatorial dense gas by one or two dense spherical clouds. Because of that we reproduce the general qualitative properties of the velocity maps, but not the fine details. The fine details of the velocity maps can be matched by simply structuring the dense ejecta in an appropriate way. The blue and red-shifted components are formed in the post-shock flow of the primary wind, on the two sides of the equatorial plane, respectively. The fast wind from the secondary star plays no role in our model, as for most of the orbital period in our model the primary star is closer to us. The dense clouds are observed to be closer to us than the binary system is, and so in our model the primary star faces the dense equatorial ejecta for the majority of the orbital period.
