摘要:

银河系的恒星属于?p类天体都是强磁性天体,在数周至数年的时间尺度上表现出旋转调制的光谱和光度变化。五个候选人?麦哲伦星云中的p星已经被发现,特别是在对它们的大质量恒星群进行调查的背景下。在这里,我们描述了他们的光度行为的调查,揭示了显着的变化,在所有研究对象的时间尺度为一周到四年以上,其中三个明确的周期性变化。他们的光谱特性,随着这些光度变化提供了进一步的支持的假设,这些都是强磁化O星,类似的?银河系中的p星

英文摘要:

Galactic stars belonging to the Of?p category are all strongly magnetic objects exhibiting rotationally modulated spectral and photometric changes on timescales of weeks to years. Five candidate Of?p stars in the Magellanic Clouds have been discovered, notably in the context of ongoing surveys of their massive star populations. Here we describe an investigation of their photometric behaviour, revealing significant variability in all studied objects on timescales of one week to more than four years, including clearly periodic variations for three of them. Their spectral characteristics along with these photometric changes provide further support for the hypothesis that these are strongly magnetized O stars, analogous to the Of?p stars in the Galaxy.
