摘要:

最近发现了发光的富氦sdO BD+37 442中的脉冲X射线发射(La Palombara等人,2012年)。有人认为sdO星有一个自旋周期为19.2 s的中子星或白矮星伴星。在HD 49798之后,它有一个巨大的白矮星伴星,在1.55天的轨道上以13.2秒的速度旋转,这是第二个探测到X射线发射的O型亚矮星。我们报告的初步结果,我们正在进行的运动,以获得时间分辨的高分辨率光谱使用CAFE仪器在Calar Alto天文台和SARG在国家伽利略望远镜。通过定量NLTE光谱分析得出大气参数。线拟合暗示了一个异常大的投影旋转速度。因此,BD+37 442似乎是一颗类似HD 49798的双星,轨道周期也类似。来自BD+37 442的X射线发射水平可以用一颗周期小于10天的中子星从sdO风中吸积来解释。因此,我们开始进行径向速度监测,以获得BD+37 442系统的二进制参数,并在2012年的几个月内获得了41个光谱。与HD 1,49798不同的是,没有发现径向速度变化,因此,还没有动力学证据表明致密伴星的存在。脉冲X射线发射的起源仍然是一个谜。

英文摘要:

Pulsed X-ray emission in the luminous, helium-rich sdO BD+37 442 has recently been discovered (La Palombara et al., 2012). It was suggested that the sdO star has a neutron star or white dwarf companion with a spin period of 19.2 s. After HD 49798, which has a massive white dwarf companion spinning at 13.2 s in an 1.55 day orbit, this is only the second O-type subdwarf from which X-ray emission has been detected. We report preliminary results of our ongoing campaign to obtain time-resolved high-resolution spectroscopy using the CAFE instrument at Calar Alto observatory and SARG at the Telescopio Nationale Galileo. Atmospheric parameters were derived via a quantitative NLTE spectral analysis. The line fits hint at an unusually large projected rotation velocity. Therefore it seemed likely that BD+37 442 is a binary similar to HD 49798 and that the orbital period is also similar. The level of X-ray emission from BD+37 442 could be explained by accretion from the sdO wind by a neutron star orbiting at a period of less than ten days. Hence, we embarked on radial velocity monitoring in order to derive the binary parameters of the BD+37 442 system and obtained 41 spectra spread out over several month in 2012. Unlike for HD\,49798, no radial velocity variations were found and, hence, there is no dynamical evidence for the existence of a compact companion yet. The origin of the pulsed X-ray emission remains as a mystery.
