OH127 .8+0.0的长期偏振观测

Long-term polarimetric observations of OH127.8+0.0

P. Wolak, M. Szymczak, E. Gerard

摘要:

用全偏振模式对来自著名天体OH 127.8 +0.0的OH 1612和1667 MHz脉泽进行了6.5年的监测,并在一个历元上用MERLIN进行了成图。该星的OH光变模式是典型的极长周期AGB星.根据1612 MHz光变曲线和角半径的新测量值确定的距离为3.87(0.28)kpc。在两个频率下,偏振发射的通量紧密地跟随总通量变化,而圆偏振和线偏振的程度在测量精度内是恒定的。在两条线上都存在净极化。在距离恒星5400 au处,由一个可能的塞曼对估算的磁场强度为-0.6 mG。在包层的近端和远端,极化矢量很好地对齐,这意味着磁场具有规则的结构。OH脉泽辐射的偏振特性表明,在星风中存在一个冻结的径向磁场。

英文摘要:

OH 1612 and 1667 MHz masers from the well known object OH127.8+0.0 were mon- itored in full-polarization mode over a period of 6.5 years and mapped with MERLIN at one epoch. The OH variability pattern of the star is typical of extremely long- period AGB stars. The distance determined from the 1612 MHz light curve and a new measurement of the angular radius is 3.87 (0.28) kpc. At both frequencies, the flux of polarized emission tightly follows the total flux variations while, the degrees of circu- lar and linear polarization are constant within measurement accuracy.. There is net polarization at both lines. The magnetic field strength estimated from a likely Zeeman pair is -0.6 mG at the distance of 5400 au from the star.At the near and far sides of the envelope, the polarization vectors are well aligned implying a regular structure of the magnetic field. The polarization characteristics of the OH maser emission suggest a radial magnetic field which is frozen in the stellar wind.
