摘要:

我们研究了大麦云云(LMC)和小麦哲伦云(SMC)中22颗富碳后AGB恒星的光变,主要基于OGLE巡天的光度数据。发现所有这些都各不相同。其中8颗恒星的主周期在49到157天之间,大多数恒星的光谱类型为F。这八个被发现在几个方面与银河系(MWG)富含碳的原行星状星云(PPN)相似:(a)它们的周期范围相同,约为38至160天;(b)它们具有相似的光谱类型;(c)它们是(除一个外)暗时更红,(d)它们有多个周期,在时间上间隔很近,次级周期与初级周期的平均比率约为1.0,作为一个整体,(e)它们随温度的升高而呈现出周期性减小的趋势,(f)它们随周期性减小而呈现出振幅减小的趋势。然而,它们可能不同的是,周期随温度的下降趋势可能略有抵消MWG。这八个被归类为PPN。其他14个都显示出在较短时间尺度上的变异性。它们可能是更热的PPN或年轻的行星状星云。然而,在MWG中,PPN的数量在F-G光谱类型中达到峰值,而在LMC中,它们似乎在较热的B光谱类型中达到峰值。其中一个周期性的显示了一个小的,R北冕型光变曲线下降。

英文摘要:

We have investigated the light variability in a sample of 22 carbon-rich post-AGB stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), based primarily on photometric data from the OGLE survey. All are found to vary. Dominant periods are found in eight of them; these periods range from 49 to 157 days, and most of these stars have F spectral types. These eight are found to be similar to the Milky Way Galaxy (MWG) carbon-rich proto-planetary nebulae (PPNs) in several ways: (a) they are in the same period range of ~38 to ~160 days, (b) they have similar spectral types, (c) they are (all but one) redder when fainter, (d) they have multiple periods, closely spaced in time, with a average ratio of secondary to primary period of ~1.0, and as an ensemble, (e) they show a trend of decreasing period with increasing temperature, and (f) they show a trend of decreasing amplitude with decreasing period. However, they possibly differ in that the decreasing trend of period with temperature may be slightly offset from that of the MWG. These eight are classified as PPNs. The other 14 all show evidence of variability on shorter timescales. They are likely hotter PPNs or young planetary nebulae. However, in the MWG the numbers of PPNs peak in the F-G spectral types, while it appears that in the LMC they peak at a hotter B spectral type. One of the periodic ones shows a small, R Coronae Borealis-type light curve drop.
