摘要:

本文报道了B3 IV星HD 23478:12的23个磁场测量结果,其中12个是用ESPaDOnS(CFHT)和Narval(TBL)分光偏振计获得的高分辨率Stokes $V$谱,11个是用DimaPol分光偏振计(DAO)获得的中等分辨率Stokes $V$谱。HD 23478是两颗快速旋转的恒星之一,根据阿帕奇点天文台银河演化实验巡天的红外观测,它们被认为是潜在的“离心磁层”宿主。我们推导出这颗恒星的基本物理性质,包括它的质量($M=6.1^{+0.8}_{-0.7}\,M_\odot$),有效温度($T_{\rm eff}=20\pm2\,$ kK),半径($R=2.7^{+1.6}_{-0.9}\,R_\odot$)和年龄($τ_{\rm age}=3^{+37}_{-1}\,$ Myr)。我们反复检测弱可变塞曼签名在金属,他和H线在我们所有的观测对应的纵向磁场$\langle B_z\rangle\approx-2.0\,$千克。自转周期由依巴谷测光($P_{\rm rot}=1.0498(4)\,$ d)推断。在斜转子模型的假设下,我们的观测结果产生了一个表面偶极磁场的强度$B_d\geq9.5\,$ kG,这是近似与恒星旋转轴对齐。我们确认存在的强大和广泛的H $α$发射和计量本恒星的离心磁层的体积是一致的,与其他H $α$发射离心磁层恒星的基础上推断的大阿尔文开普勒半径比。

英文摘要:

In this paper we report 23 magnetic field measurements of the B3IV star HD 23478: 12 obtained from high resolution Stokes $V$ spectra using the ESPaDOnS (CFHT) and Narval (TBL) spectropolarimeters, and 11 from medium resolution Stokes $V$ spectra obtained with the DimaPol spectropolarimeter (DAO). HD 23478 was one of two rapidly rotating stars identified as potential "centrifugal magnetosphere" hosts based on IR observations from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment survey. We derive basic physical properties of this star including its mass ($M=6.1^{+0.8}_{-0.7}\,M_\odot$), effective temperature ($T_{\rm eff}=20\pm2\,$kK), radius ($R=2.7^{+1.6}_{-0.9}\,R_\odot$), and age ($τ_{\rm age}=3^{+37}_{-1}\,$Myr). We repeatedly detect weakly-variable Zeeman signatures in metal, He and H lines in all our observations corresponding to a longitudinal magnetic field of $\langle B_z\rangle\approx-2.0\,$kG. The rotational period is inferred from Hipparcos photometry ($P_{\rm rot}=1.0498(4)\,$d). Under the assumption of the Oblique Rotator Model, our obsevations yield a surface dipole magnetic field of strength $B_d\geq9.5\,$kG that is approximately aligned with the stellar rotation axis. We confirm the presence of strong and broad H$α$ emission and gauge the volume of this star's centrifugal magnetosphere to be consistent with those of other H$α$ emitting centrifugal magnetosphere stars based on the large inferred Alfvén to Kepler radius ratio.
