摘要:

我们报告的结果,我们得到的XMM牛顿观测HD 49798和BD+37 442,只有两个sdO星的X射线发射已被观察到。HD是一颗单线分光双星,轨道周期为1.5天。我们可以确定它的伴星是一颗M = 1.28 Msun的大质量白矮星,这使它成为Ia型超新星的候选祖先;我们还在白矮星日食期间探测到了显著的X射线发射,这可能是sdO恒星本身的X射线发射。在BD+37 442中,我们发现了周期为19.2 s的软X射线发射。这表明这颗热亚矮星还有一颗紧凑的双星伴星,要么是白矮星,要么是中子星,很可能是由sdO星的风吸积提供动力的。

英文摘要:

We report on the results we obtained with XMM-Newton observations of HD49798 and BD+37 442, the only two sdO stars for which X-ray emission has been observed so far. HD is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with orbital period of 1.5 days. We could establish that its companion is a massive white dwarf with M = 1.28 Msun, which makes it a candidate type Ia supernova progenitor; we also detected a significant X-ray emission during the white-dwarf eclipse, which could be X-ray emission of the sdO star itself. In the case of BD+37 442, a luminous He-rich sdO that up to now was believed to be a single star, we discovered soft X-ray emission with a periodicity of 19.2 s. This indicates that also this hot subdwarf has a compact binary companion, either a white dwarf or a neutron star, most likely powered by accretion from the wind of the sdO star.
