摘要:

我们介绍了作为钱德拉X射线天文台行星状星云巡天(ChanPlaNS)的一部分获得的最新一组观测结果,这是第一次对太阳附近的行星状星云(PNE)进行全面的X射线巡天(即,太阳的1.5kpc)。该调查的目的是限制出现的频率和范围的X射线光谱特性的X射线发射PN中心的恒星和演化的时间尺度的风冲击加热气泡在PNe。ChanPlaNS开始了一个合并的周期12和档案钱德拉调查35 PNE。ChanPlaNS继续通过钱德拉周期14大计划,目标是所有(24)剩余的已知紧凑(R_neb <~ 0.4 pc),年轻的PNe,位于~1.5 kpc。这些周期14观察的结果包括NGC 1501、3918、6153和6369内热泡的首次X射线检测,以及HbDs 1、NGC 6337和Sp 1中的点源。添加循环14结果后,ChanPlaNS弥散X射线的总体检出率约为27%,点源检出率约为36%。现在已经很清楚,弥散X射线发射与年轻(<~ 5 × 10^3年)、同样致密(R_neb<~0.15 pc)、具有封闭结构和高中心电子密度(n_e>~1000 cm^-3)的PNE有关,而很少与显示出H_2发射和/或明显蝴蝶结构的PNE有关。Hb 5是具有蝴蝶结构的PN的一个例外,其具有扩散X射线发射。此外,在五个新的弥漫X射线探测中,两个宿主[WR]型CSPNe,NGC 1501和NGC 6369,支持了这样的假设,即中心恒星为[WR]型的PNe可能显示弥漫X射线发射。

英文摘要:

We present results from the most recent set of observations obtained as part of the Chandra X-ray observatory Planetary Nebula Survey (ChanPlaNS), the first comprehensive X-ray survey of planetary nebulae (PNe) in the solar neighborhood (i.e., within ~1.5 kpc of the Sun). The survey is designed to place constraints on the frequency of appearance and range of X-ray spectral characteristics of X-ray-emitting PN central stars and the evolutionary timescales of wind-shock-heated bubbles within PNe. ChanPlaNS began with a combined Cycle 12 and archive Chandra survey of 35 PNe. ChanPlaNS continued via a Chandra Cycle 14 Large Program which targeted all (24) remaining known compact (R_neb <~ 0.4 pc), young PNe that lie within ~1.5 kpc. Results from these Cycle 14 observations include first-time X-ray detections of hot bubbles within NGC 1501, 3918, 6153, and 6369, and point sources in HbDs 1, NGC 6337, and Sp 1. The addition of the Cycle 14 results brings the overall ChanPlaNS diffuse X-ray detection rate to ~27% and the point source detection rate to ~36%. It has become clearer that diffuse X-ray emission is associated with young (<~5x10^3 yr), and likewise compact (R_neb<~0.15 pc), PNe with closed structures and high central electron densities (n_e>~1000 cm^-3), and rarely associated with PNe that show H_2 emission and/or pronounced butterfly structures. Hb 5 is one such exception of a PN with a butterfly structure that hosts diffuse X-ray emission. Additionally, of the five new diffuse X-ray detections, two host [WR]-type CSPNe, NGC 1501 and NGC 6369, supporting the hypothesis that PNe with central stars of [WR]-type are likely to display diffuse X-ray emission.
