热DA白矮星星周物质的光球金属线轮廓分析

A photospheric metal line profile analysis of hot DA white dwarfs with circumstellar material

Nathan J. Dickinson, Martin A. Barstow, Barry Y. Welsh

摘要:

一些热的DA白矮星在它们的光谱中有星周高离子吸收的特征,除了那些起源于光球层的特征。在许多情况下,这些吸收成分的谱线轮廓是无法分辨的。考虑到白矮星的大气成分对恒星演化、太阳系外行星系统和星际介质研究的重要性,我们研究了在6颗DA星的光球金属丰度估计中加入星周谱线的影响。光球的C和Si丰度减少在五种情况下,拱星污染是强的,虽然拱星Si IV吸收的相对薄弱,引入最小的污染,导致丰度的变化很小。以前的,近似模型无法重现光球线轮廓在这里证明了需要一种技术,占物理线轮廓的拱星和光球线时,这些混合吸收功能建模。

英文摘要:

Some hot DA white dwarfs have circumstellar high ion absorption features in their spectra, in addition to those originating in the photosphere. In many cases, the line profiles of these absorbing components are unresolved. Given the importance of the atmospheric composition of white dwarfs to studies of stellar evolution, extra-solar planetary systems and the interstellar medium, we examine the effect of including circumstellar line profiles in the abundance estimates of photospheric metals in six DA stars. The photospheric C and Si abundances are reduced in five cases where the circumstellar contamination is strong, though the relative weakness of the circumstellar Si IV absorption introduces minimal contamination, resulting in a small change in abundance. The inability of previous, approximate models to reproduce the photospheric line profiles here demonstrates the need for a technique that accounts for the physical line profiles of both the circumstellar and photospheric lines when modelling these blended absorption features.
