摘要:

我们目前的结果,从第一次尝试得出的各种物理特性的尘埃沃尔夫-拉叶星WR 48 a的基础上,其观测特性的多波长视图。这是根据新的光学和近红外光谱观测以及来自光学、无线电和X射线方面各种档案的数据进行的。WR 48 a的光谱可以用两个光谱的总和来表示:一个是WR型的WC 8,另一个是WR型的WN 8h。WR 48 a和附近恒星D2-3和D2-7(都是疏散星团Danks 2的成员)的光谱中星际吸收特征的强度表明WR 48 a距离我们约4 kpc。WR 48 a很可能是一个热射电源,在这种情况下,它的无线电发射表明这颗尘埃WR星的质量损失率相对较高(dM/dt =每年几个x 10^(-4)太阳质量)。WR 48 a的长时间尺度(年)变化在光学,无线电和X射线中建立。碰撞的恒星风可能在这个物体的物理学中起着非常重要的作用。然而,也不能排除一些LBV样(发光蓝变量)活性。

英文摘要:

We present results from the first attempts to derive various physical characteristics of the dusty Wolf-Rayet star WR 48a based on a multi-wavelength view of its observational properties. This is done on the basis of new optical and near-infrared spectral observations and on data from various archives in the optical, radio and X-rays. The optical spectrum of WR 48a is acceptably well represented by a sum of two spectra: of a WR star of the WC8 type and of a WR star of the WN8h type. The strength of the interstellar absorption features in the optical spectra of WR 48a and the near-by stars D2-3 and D2-7 (both members of the open cluster Danks 2) indicates that WR 48a is located at a distance of ~4 kpc from us. WR 48a is very likely a thermal radio source and for such a case and smooth (no clumps) wind its radio emission suggests a relatively high mass-loss rate of this dusty WR star (dM/dt = a few x 10^(-4) solar masses per year). Long timescale (years) variability of WR 48a is established in the optical, radio and X-rays. Colliding stellar winds likely play a very important role in the physics of this object. However, some LBV-like (luminous blue variable) activity could not be excluded as well.
