四颗经典新星的HST精制导传感器并行性

HST Fine Guidance Sensor Parallaxes for Four Classical Novae

Thomas E. Harrison, Jillian Bornak, Barbara E. McArthur, G. Fritz Benedict

摘要:

我们已经使用的数据与哈勃太空望远镜上的精细制导传感器获得精确的天体测量的四个经典新星:V603 Aql,DQ Her,GK Per,和RR Pic。所有四个物体都超过了爱丁顿极限。重新检查V603 Aql和GK Per的原始光变曲线数据使我们得出结论,它们的视觉最大值比通常假设的略亮。与已知的距离,我们研究了各种最大震级-下降率(MMRD)的关系,已建立的经典新星。我们发现,这四个对象显示出类似的水平分散这些关系所看到的较大样本的新星,其距离使用间接技术确定。我们还研究了星云膨胀视差方法,发现它失败的四个对象中的三个。在每一种情况下,都有可能找到这种技术未能提供精确距离估计的原因。与其视线上的场星相比,DQ Her似乎遭受了严重的灭绝。我们认为,这可能是由于当地的材料,这也可能是源的红外天文台检测到这个对象。

英文摘要:

We have used data obtained with the Fine Guidance Sensors on the Hubble Space Telescope to derive precise astrometric parallaxes for four classical novae: V603 Aql, DQ Her, GK Per, and RR Pic. All four objects exceeded the Eddington limit at visual maximum. Re-examination of the original light curve data for V603 Aql and GK Per has led us to conclude that their visual maxima were slightly brighter than commonly assumed. With known distances, we examine the various maximum magnitude--rate of decline (MMRD) relationships that have been established for classical novae. We find that these four objects show a similar level of scatter about these relationships as seen in larger samples of novae whose distances were determined using indirect techniques. We also examine the nebular expansion parallax method, and find that it fails for three of the four objects. In each case it was possible to find an explanation for the failure of that technique to give precise distance estimates. DQ Her appears to suffer from an anomalously high extinction when compared to field stars on its sight line. We suggest that this is likely due to local material, which may also be the source of the IRAS detections of this object.
