摘要:

目的:为了研究极端OH/IR星的质量损失的历史,我们观察了一些这样的对象使用CO作为其拱星包层的密度和温度结构的示踪剂。方法:结合CO观测从赫歇尔空间天文台从地面,我们跟踪质量损失率作为半径的函数在五个极端OH/IR星。使用辐射转移模型,我们模拟的尘埃信封以及CO排放。CO的高旋转跃迁表明它们起源于靠近恒星的致密超风区域,而较低的跃迁则倾向于来自较稀薄的外部风,这是自早期AGB阶段以来质量损失的结果。结果:这些恒星的星周包层模型表明,它们在过去的200 - 500年里已经进入了一个超级风阶段。低的18 O/17 O(~ 0.1,而太阳丰度比为~ 5)和12 C/13 C(3-30 cf.从我们的研究中得出的太阳值89)的比率支持这样的观点,即这些物体经历了热底燃烧,因此它们是质量M >= 5太阳质量的AGB星。

英文摘要:

Aim : In order to study the history of mass loss in extreme OH/IR stars, we observed a number of these objects using CO as a tracer of the density and temperature structure of their circumstellar envelopes. Method : Combining CO observations from the Herschel Space Observatory with those from the ground, we trace mass loss rates as a function of radius in five extreme OH/IR stars. Using radiative transfer modelling, we modelled the dusty envelope as well as the CO emission. The high-rotational transitions of CO indicate that they originate in a dense superwind region close to the star while the lower transitions tend to come from a more tenuous outer wind which is a result of the mass loss since the early AGB phase. Result : The models of the circumstellar envelopes around these stars suggest that they have entered a superwind phase in the past 200 - 500 years. The low 18O/17O (~ 0.1 compared to the solar abundance ratio of ~ 5) and 12C/13C (3-30 cf. the solar value of 89) ratios derived from our study support the idea that these objects have undergone hot-bottom burning and hence that they are massive M >= 5 solar-mass AGB stars.
